Mega 70's Producer Tony Visconti talks about his life and art through an interview for his autobiography. He has produced Bowie, the Moody Blues and Morrissey.

I love his comments about the record industry promoting a "samey" formula.

Enjoy!

Two members of the Chuck Magione Band, saxaphonost Gerry Niewood and guitarist Coleman Mellett, were killed when a Continental Airlines commuter plane Flight 3407 crashed into a house Buffalo, NY Thursday night.

I meant to post this yesterday but IndabaMusic was "tuning up".

This video shows them performing "Feels So Good"

RIP and Jam On, you are in good company.

Ok maybe not historic...but full of history! Just in time for Valentine's day I've started a session based on the note a Union soldier wrote for his beloved during the US Civil War.

I was inspired to compose a dirge, with The Band's and a New Orleans style funeral march sound in mind, and lyrics tell a story that roughly follows the Sullivan note. Stop by and check out the session. I could use some help with a refrain, vox and instruments.

From Variety.com:

 "A keyboardist for the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd has died at his northeast Florida home.

Orange Park Police Lt. Mark Cornett says 56-year-old keyboard player Billy Powell called 911 about 12:55 a.m. Wednesday saying he was having trouble breathing. Rescue crews performed CPR, but he was pronounced dead at 1:52 a.m.

 Powell was one of two surviving band members who were with the group before a 1977 plane crash that killed three of its members."

 As a tribute to a great player I'm posting a YouTube playlist with 64...yep 64 Skynyrd videos. For fans or foes at least one round of "Free Bird" is in order.

RIP Billy Powell

My fellow Indabans...You are invited to this session inspired by the thousands of people on the mall in DC this morning. There is nothing like hope...

Peace :)

This is a video I made for the Colbert remix session.

Enjoy!
