Actually Chris, when the "Sterling30" thing began, one thing that was at atthe top of the agenda was about a 90 minute video/movie that I wanted to do. We were going to occupy one of the old theaters in the area for a few days and I wanted to do about 25 songs or so live, with a few interesting things thrown into the mix.. (It was going to be done in Black & White too but I was the only person interested in doing it so it didn't quite happen.. (The interest is there now, it's just that I'm not interested at the moment..)
Maybe something will come up in the future.. This one studio I've used in the past has a stage and lighting in the facilities and all the editing equipment needed so we could get a professional one done there but starting costs is about $2500..., not to mention other musicians, reheardsal, ect..
Music just instn't that interesting anymore Chris.. Some moments it still drives me but they don't last too long.. (You never know though..)

|

As far as my listening pleasure goes, Bod Dylan is always a favorite as is a number of indie people such as Kathy Fisher, Queenie, Rachel Innes, Cheryl Bliss, Phoebe Legere, Simona Peron, to name a few.. (I'm going to have to give SOS a better listen sometime too, seems your sound is in that league.., I suggest you give all those people I named a listen sometime..)
No, music has never been that big of a deal to me for much of my life. In my younger years it was a passion but I grew out of that I guess. It was really fun about 5 years back but it just isn't anymore..
Recording's a pain Chris.. My singer Dwight is really cool but outside of himself and me, everyone else that ends up involving themselves get to be a bit much at times and I'm just tired of it..
There's going to be a few things done in the coming months with Dwight, (I'd say look fro a 4-5 song EP by Jan I think you'll like alot and then there's some sessions coming up with some female singer, though I'm not really sure who that will be yet, and that should produce 2-4 new songs about Feb or so and then that's it Chris.., I'm done.
I don't like performing, never really had much inclination for that but I think it's cool that you enjoy it. I like the studio part most when I'm in control and people do what they are paid to do. All other aspects of the music business I prefer to have no part of.
It just isn't my cup of tea.

I don't feel old Chris, and many people tell me I don't look old either, but it was an issue when I started recording again, not to me, but the people like producers, ect., who just seemed to have this attitude I had no right to be doing this because I was 40 at the time, and it sure didn't make them happy when they found out I could actually do this.. (And that attitude is very prevelant..)
Where will I be putting my creative energy? Maybe in business Chris.. I've got some background in marketing and I know alot of influential people. What I have in mind is trying to find a way for the more marketable indies to start seeing a real return on their music and bringing to a larger audiance that spends money, and that won't happen on the internet.. (It's going to be next to impossible to pull off because we're talking of a really large deal, but I always like trying the impossible..) It's a million to one longshot at the moment but if it could happen, alot of indies could start seeing some real revenue coming their way.. It sure won't be easy though, and I've got some homework to do..
So you saw Phoebe? She was performing in Chicago this spring and I was thinking of going to see her but I couldn't work it into my schedule. It's been awhile since I've been to NYC and she plays there all the time so maybe around the first if the year I'll get a chance to see her.. (I won't ket her know I'm there though..)
I've seen Dylan 4 times BTW and it be 5 times soon.. He's plaing in Ann Arbor this coming November..

That's a good question Chris... I used to love straight up, no nonsense Rock & Roll shows and I would never miss Alvin Lee & 10 Years After when they came too town. I remember Rod Stewart & The Faces putting on a great show, I saw David Bowie a few times and he was great as well.. Robin Trower was always a favorite and I did see "The Who" when Keith Moon was still alove, and I've never witnessed an energy greater than that.., 80,000 people at the Pontiac Silverdome..)
But who's the best?? I'd have to say Paul McCartney cause I'm such a huge Beatles fan and the vibe he puts off at his shows is really very unique.. (He's touring now Chris.., if you get a chance to see himm make sure you do, he won't be around forever..)
The last Bob Dylan show was fantastic also... That's a tough question Chris, I've seen alot of great acts but that was mostelt from my first few years out of high school. In the last 22 years I saw Bob Dylan in 1986, Paul McCartney in 1992 & Dylan again in 2000..
I see a few local acts every now and then but most are pretty sad... Just h these worn out covers from the 70's.. Ugh..
