My Times 
    
 The 
  months continue to hurdle past between updates. Is this a blog?
Over the hill in Burbank 
  at Drumroll 
  we've worked on a multitude of sessions and improved our Studio.
  
  
My Album One moment In Time is now available at Apple iTunes, Mp3Tunes and many other fine Internet music Stores.
Go to JJ on Myspace to hear a track from my new album TWO and a Letter to John Lennon from the past...
The Jack Dill Project is nearing completion. Jack has a link to an MP3 of one of the Mixes at his site and on Myspace.
The Band are Steve 
  ferrone, Nathan East,Steve 
  Postell, John Jones and Jack Dill.
  He's a super talented guy and totally worth checking out.
Fellow 
  Drumroll partner Steve 
  Postell has 
  released an Album of his own music and it is truly brilliant. Check it out!
  
The 
  honorable Neil 
  Peart was in recording Drums and doing a Voice Over for a character 
  on Aqua Teen 
  Hunger Force. 
  I engineered the session with the help of Sabian's 
  Chris Stenke and the show's Director on a Cellphone from Atlanta.
  The episode aired in September and included the Drum 
  Solo of Life. 
Neil 
  also found time to Make A 
  Wish come true for an aspiring young drummer who got to Jam with his 
  idol after a drum lesson in the studio.
  
  
 
The 
good news is that the Subdudes 
and Harold Brown 
of the Lowriders and War 
escaped Hurricane Katrina.
 
 
   Late 
  in November Drumroll 
  Productions (Steve Ferrone, Steve 
  Postell and John Jones) finished the first tracks for 
  New Artist Erin 
  Toland.
This time the band was Ferrone (drums), Postell (guitars), Jones (keys), Mark Brown (bass) and Erin on Guitar and Vocals with a guest appearances from Jason Weber on Sax and Jack Dill on Vocals.

Things are still Rocking with The Dares. We recorded a few more Demos in October and start Tracking the New Album straight after Christmas. My old friend Steve Churchyard is coming in to help...

I played Wrapped 
  Around Your Finger on Piano with Richard 
  Martinez last week at a fundraiser for The 
  Boys and Girls Club of Hollywood at the John 
  Raitt Theater in Hollywood. 
  Wonderful Pianist/Organist Christoph 
  Bull organised the evening that included Lili 
  Haydn among others.
  Richard recited a Poem accompanied by Bongos.
  
  
 
We finally got our Argosy for the Control 24 at Drumroll. The Control Room is now working great!
