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.

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!
