New Scott Waters record out... our 4th together, showing a lot of growth. I'll always think fondly of my longtime friend & collaborator Bruce Gatewood when I listen to this one... Bruce completed the lead guitar tracks on this record just before unexpectedly passing away. He was always able to read my mind and pluck out just what I was looking for... my direction for him at the 1:00 mark in "Dreaming" was "Stiff upper lip... like the trumpet in Masterpiece Theater..." And he did it! He will be impossible to replace.

MY NEW ALBUM DROPS TODAY!!!!!!

Available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other platforms.

I HOPE YOU WILL GIVE IT A LISTEN !!!!

Better yet, I hope you go to iTunes and purchase it!

Behind the scenes with the awesomely talented Mashhad Sharyar at Silk City... Check out this vocal performance! -with backing track by Phil Mann Silk City Music Factory

"We are heading to a place where it's just you and me
Why have we gotten so distant from one another?
Should I follow or lead? Or should I stay in your arms?
Listen to my cry! Where did you go?"

Polyurethane does its thing. Evidence of my older son... he was 3 then, he's almost 16 now!

A couple weeks later: starting to restore the floors. First we had to countersink approx 20,000 nails on our hands and knees. When we started sanding, we realized we hadn't sunk them all deep enough... so we did it again. It took about a day to strip the paint from each ceiling beam, on a ladder using a power planer over my head. My abs were ripped at the end of that week. It was such hard work that I carefully excluded the future closet area.

Peek behind the scenes in the studio in the latest video from Pheez. It's always humbling to work with this talented rapper, who never let his disability become anything but an inspiration.

Nice to see young guys making good. Lots of great comments on this SCMF recording. We tracked this record in just a couple days. I think this was the first record recorded on the new Yamaha kit. Indie grunge p***y stuff. Ethan from the band mixed it... I'm totally impressed with the mixes he did.

Great new songs from The Antarctics. No one would believe how quickly Kevin records these parts. Can't wait to see what Kevin comes out with from the Covid haze we've been living under.
