In the studio tracking with Johnette Napolitano and Gabriel. We brought out the big drums today. 1976 Rogers Drums kit with a 24BD and a @keplinger iron snare!

If Republicans in Congress, and beyond, weren't culpable for Jan. 6, they'd be desperate to know who tried to kill them.

This is terrible. Keep your eyes peeled if you see or hear anything. Hey LA Friends. My Van & Trailer, which also has my main rig inside, all of which are integral to my career and ability to make a living as a musician, were all stolen last night right out in front of my house. The trailer has my beloved 1960 Hammond B3 Organ & 1973 Leslie 122 Speaker inside (both customized and irreplaceable, bought in my hometown of Milwaukee, and with me for years of tours, albums, etc ...throughout my musical & life journeys, both ups and downs.) Also inside was a very expensive pedal board, and numerous bags of expensive cables, tubes and personal items. Attached are photos of: 1 The Van & Trailer and a close up of some identifying stickers on the trailer. Front of Trailer (facing back of van) has 2 stickers: One says "Pace" the other "The Voyd". 2 My Hammond B3 and Leslie 122. There a some identifying features to these such as: Hammond - has LED lights inside my Hammond and a custom wooden rack underneath. Leslie - has a foam bass rotor on the bottom and some stickers on the front. The Van is a Ford E350 12 Passenger Van - White. The trailer is a 5 X 8 enclosed Pace American - White. Trailer hitch was locked to Van. Trailer was locked to the hitch ball with a padlock. Trailer doors were locked with doughnut lock. Needlesstosay I am gutted and devastated on many levels. However, with the wide range of deep pain and suffering people experience in this world, I am going to try to keep this unfortunate event in perspective. So I normally don't post about personal stuff, but figured one thing that's good about social media is it's reach. If anyone sees a Van & Trailer around LA matching the above description, or a wayward Hammond Organ & Leslie Speaker floating about (perhaps on Craigslist, outside, or elsewhere) feel free to let me know. The Police have also been notified and are on the lookout. Thanks much.

Beautiful inside and out!

Congratulations, Ledisi!

Building something. Building to last.

Incredible musicianship!

Stunning musicianship and tone was on display yesterday with @ludolouismusic recording songs for his upcoming solo album. @nisanstewart @pastorfunk @colorblindfish @rickeypageot @george_laks Everybody was on ... It was a tracking session with masks and hand sanitizer as they all must be at this time.

Apart from the alcohol hand sanitizer for YOU there’s a whole lot of cleaning we do that goes on when nobody else is here. Spray alcohol and UVB are parts of the equation before and after every session in 2020 after reopening for the safety of all who enter the building. #covidclean #openforbusiness #alcohol #morealcohol #notfordrinking #recordingstudio #letsgo

Kivian in with @brentjonesmusic for @thefirenu . Everyone is loving the mural @realms_one !

Ernie Barnes great vintage poster in the vocal booth.

Getting the piano tuned ahead of some group sessions coming in. I know the Kawai is going to be put to good use in the next couple of weeks. Everybody digs the right kind of wrong but sometimes it’s just off! #kawai #recordingstudio #relativepitch ... #gregorysmith piano tuner See more

My radio only picks up NPR. #KPFK comes in strong! The painter’s tape comes in handy for holding components in place while flipping the board over and soldering. . #electronics #diyelectronics #fmradio #lavc #el-6

The matching gargoyles near the door of The studio.

Building a variable power supply kit for electronics so I don’t go through so many 9V’s!

@ygibbons29 was in, laying down a guest vocal for @christiandavid_music on his upcoming album release. She always brings passion and hope with her when she sings! #pearlmanmicrophones #api #hammondorgan ... #gospelmusic See more
