Elvis
by Gerlinda & Weaklazyliar

Back in 1997, I recorded some piano and organ tracks for a demo by local Atlanta artist Gerlinda & Weaklazyliar. I had forgotten about it until recently, but here it is in all its glory. Thanks Ed!

Walk To The Beat
Dr. Scholl's
Andrew Doss & Ed Rogers

In the late 90s (although one might suspect the 80s!), Dr. Scholl's gave away cassettes containing a 30-minute program of walking music specially designed for an exercise routine. Ed Rogers and I produced the music to exacting specific BPM specifications, and were given a specific order to put them in (warm-up, aerobics, and cool-down). Most of it was music I had previously written, and Ed produced it and laid guitars on top of it. He also brought in a saxophonist to add some additional flavor to the mix. Cheezy? You bet, but it's got a good beat, and you can walk to it!

Of all the pieces of music contained in the program, "Showcase" is my favorite. It was also used as the theme music for Atlanta Auto Showcase.

This CD was sold at Limited stores across the country in the latter half of the 90s. It included classic holiday recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and James Brown. Blue Press was the name of the studio band put together by Ed Rogers, owner of Evil Genius Recordings. None of the members ever met each other, each recording their parts at seperate times over a period of about a year. We recorded an entire album of Christmas standards, all done with unique blues rock arrangements, but Joy To The World was chosen for this compilation. It was the first time I'd ever played rock organ.

Andrew Doss: drums, keyboards and percussion
from the EP Transitional Livery

A guitarist for Montage, Mayfield is an artist in his own right, and included me on some of his solo work, of which this is a prime example.

from the album The John Williams Project: Osiris

Scuderi was a songwriter who enlisted my help to realize and record an album's worth of his songs for the purpose of shopping them around within the music industry. Various vocalists, musicians and studios were used for this mammoth project.

During a Montage hiatus in 1997, I answered an Internet ad for an Atlanta rock band seeking a drummer. I spent the Spring and Summer of that year rehearsing, recording, and touring with them. Although it wasn't my typical style of music, it was a great learning experience, and it sure was fun to play live!
