The Road to Meddazaland – Duran Duran

June 4th, 2023 § Comments Off on The Road to Meddazaland – Duran Duran § permalink

The Barbarella Pictures interviews with many of the musicians, producers, and engineers who worked in the studio with Duran Duran. @DuranDuran

The documentary was written, produced, filmed and edited by Carsten Windhorst and Gerard Hynes!

I’ll admit, this interview was my first foray out in public in nearly a year.

If I hadn’t found a parking meter on Sunset Boulevard I might have been a no-show.

Carsten and Gerard were brilliant and supportive! We are overdue a pint!

Enjoy!

Part 2 of the Barbarella Pictures interviews with some of the people who worked in the studio with Duran Duran. The documentary was written, produced, filmed and edited by Carsten Windhorst and Gerard Hynes.

Part 3 – An awesome album! Not my story. Good music!

Cheers!

Steve Ferrone’s Birthday Bash!

April 25th, 2019 § Comments Off on Steve Ferrone’s Birthday Bash! § permalink

What an amazing time we had in old Pasadena thanks to Jason and Alan and Becky and everyone who helped to get so many great friends from all over the world together to celebrate Stephen’s 60th birthday.

Steve and the Band

The list of friends who came to play included Nathan East, Greg Phillinganes, David Pack, Brian Auger, Alex Ligertwood, Benmont Tench, David Garfield, Malik Pointer, Steve Postell, Danny Halperin, Tim Scott and many others.

Brian Auger and John Jones

Songs included Josie and the Biggest Part of Me and some very serious funk!

David Pack, Nathan, Steve & the band

I managed to commandeer the piano in the sitting room for the gentle after hours show. After a few Beatles and Beach Boys numbers we floated back to earth. Happy Birthday Steve!

Becky and Steve
Steve Ferrone and John Jones at NAMM Los Angeles circa 1998
