Hope – Song for Tohoku Earthquake Relief

The song to benefit the Tohoku Earthquake Fund by Nick Wood and Julian Lennon that I have been working on is now finished.

Mixing across the Pacific using VG and Skype with JJ and Nick.

Nick has been traveling the world the past few weeks with stops in New York to shoot video with Julian and here in Los Angeles to work on the track with me, Randy Cooke and Michael Thompson. See here – HOPE

Go to Nick’s Blog and see more photos and links to the recordings.

Davy Jones R.I.P.

It’s very sad to hear of Davy Jones’s death in Florida today. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

My life as a musician really started with the Monkees in grade 6 in Toronto. I was one of the first kids to get a Monkee shirt and to wear Beatle boots with straight leg slacks, because the Monkees did.

I lost my father the same way Davy died, of a heart attack, almost 30 years ago. Rest in peace Davy.
