MOST OF MY MUSICAL EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN GUITAR PLAYERS GIVING ME CHORD PROGRESSIONS TO PUT BASS LINES TO AND THAT'S BEEN FINE
AND DANDY FOR THE MOST PART. ALTHOUGH I CAN DO BOTH, I'VE NEVER REALLY CONSIDERED MYSELF A GREAT OR PROLIFIC SONGWRITER, OR
A SINGER FOR THAT MATTER. SO A FEW YEARS BACK I DECIDED TO GO INTO THE STUDIO, AS TIME AND MONEY ALLOWED, AND RECORD A BUNCH
OF IDEAS I'D BEEN ACCUMULATING DURING THE PREVIOUS FEW YEARS.
THE BEST THING ABOUT DOING THIS WAS THAT I CALLED UP ALL MY FRIENDS AND ASKED THEM EACH TO PLAY ON CERTAIN SONGS THAT I HEARD
THEM FITTING INTO.......IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT I DISCOVERED, AFTER YEARS OF HEARING HER SING IN THE SHOWER
THAT MY (12 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME) DAUGHTER BRETTE, REALLY COULD SING! SHE ENDED UP SINGING 5 SONGS ON THE RECORD!!!! ALSO, MY
10 YEAR OLD SON JAXIN MAKES AN APPEARANCE READING HIS HOMEWORK SENTENCES.
IT ENDED UP TAKING ME ALMOST 4 YEARS TO FINISH THE RECORD AND THEN FINALLY GET IT RELEASED.......BUT I AM TO THIS DAY, VERY
GLAD THAT I STUCK WITH IT AND GOT IT OUT TO THE MASSES....WELL MAYBE NOT THE MASSES, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT......
