  • Episode 131 Terry Draper Infinity
    Jan 14 2025
    Terry Draper of Klaatu fame has been releasing solo albums for years. His regular routine is to release a new record every year in time for Christmas.
    His usual process was interupted last year by health issues which he is now recovering from.
    So for this current project, he dug into the vault and resurrected several old demos from decades ago, along with a fresh crop of new material.
    This time around, I was honoured to play guitar on three of his songs. I was among 17 players who helped Terry on this one.

    We discussed the making of Infinity and more in this episode.

  • Episode 130 Chris Birkett
    Nov 9 2024
    Chris Birkett is a world renowned musician/record producer who has worked with such top shelf artists as Sinead O'Connor (he produced Nothing compares 2U) , Mel Brooks & Def Leppard.

    His own music has often taken a back seat to his work helping others to create hits, but now he has a brand new album of his own to celebrate.
    "She's my guitar" is a blend of neo soul/Latin flavoured original material.
    He told me that the guitar has saved his life more than once.

    We discussed this and a lot more in this episode.

    Sit back & enjoy the ride.
