San Diego County Brings The Gospel-Part I

Friends and Family,



The Del Mar Fair Grounds brought the Gospel this summer 2009! This gospel concert has been one of the best worshipping events on the west coast. Music Guest such as Evangel, Jehsyn Lavélle, Eddie Baltrip and Fulfilment, Toni, Isreal and the New Breed brought the house down. It was an wonderful gospel event.

And we lost our pop legend MJ. He inspired so many people young and old. He set a standard for all artist. And all the groups gave tribute to Micheal Jackson. Here are some flicks and Videos...check em out!

Big Bang Method

Big Bang Method just hit the west coast.  This is a rocking instrumental album.  Boom!!! These guys are putting it down.   Dave Gladding on drums, Guthrie Mathews on guitar and Jim Loretangeli on bass guitar .  Good job fellas, I can here there  music on TV, Movies, Exteme Sports videos. 

The music is hitting, that's what I said!  It's so cool to see and hear musicians mastering their instruments.  Funky, rockin and quick with the hands.  Dave's snappy, hand technique  is holding it down.  Cool  beats, no samples.  Pure human being on the drum kit.    Don't get me wrong, I like programmed beats.  It's good to hear a drummer keeping the beat tight and right.  Wow!

Screaming, ripping, shredding out of this world guitarist, he's pretty damn good.  You gotta hear Guthrie, he is playing like he's born again. The melodic riffs, he's killing it.  Each song is well  thought out.  The patterns, the tones and dynamics.  Cool.  They worked hard on this album.  Way to go dudes!  Very good Album 

And don't forget Jim laying the bass lines.  Keeping everybody together.  Like at the dinner table.  Nice grooves, some jazz runs, funky stuff and the solo was tight.   His fretless bass guitar sounds good on this album.  I hope to hear more in the future.  You're Banging!

Thanks to the Arnold Family.

If you are a writer, musician, singer, rapper, you need to protect yourself and others that are in the music business. Most of my friends are with ASCAP. We are getting paid. My friend BLANTANCY and I are going to the ASCAP EXPO. He's rapper and I'm a rocker. Good times! Yea, If you want to check out BLANTANCY here is his link.

On the other hand, there are going to be all kinds of people, labels, artists at this event. Even my company is going. Also, I will get to perform at the EXPO. Get envolved. See you next time.
