Can you imagine that these guys let me hang out with them when I was a teenager? Where would I be without them?
The rehearsal in the movie is at Bad Manors, their ‘clubhouse’ in Ancaster, Ontario. I never saw it in person, but I knew Bad Manors II (the bus) very well!
The smiling Joey Chirowski on organ! Kelly Jay. Roly Greenway. Sonnie Bernardi, Rheal Lanthier. The Ghetto (John Gibbard). What a band!

The 7th Annual Producers & Engineers Wing Grammy celebration at the Village Studios honoring Neil Young was a special night.

I shot this short clip of the introductory part of Neil’s speech to show the atmosphere in the ballroom. It was fantastic!
And then Dave Mathews came out and played a couple of Neil’s songs.
And here is one of the traditional photos many of us take at these events.

Steve Ferrone with cement hands!
Last weekend Stephen Ferrone put his very special hands in the cement, twice, as he was inducted into Rock Walk, at a special event in downtown Los Angeles! The linked article has more photos.
I wasn’t able to be there on the night, but I am really proud for Steve, and for his family! We have been brothers for a long time. And no one deserves the love more than Steve!

This is a great combination of clips from the various studios we had use of in the 00’s. Many shots of Drumroll and Orange studios.
We wrote the music using traditional lyrics. May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You!

I was lucky enough to be producing this dude back in the 00’s. James Albin is a cat!
And Steve Ferrone on drums, and Sean Halley on lead guitar!
I’ll look for the recording details on this one…in the meantime, enjoy the video! (is that Peter Zimble on guitar?)
