Weapons of LOVE

 Hello! We recently promoted our music video Weapons of Love. I wrote the song quite a few years ago after watching the news about a Palestinian suicide bomber who blew himself up in Israel and killed quite a few innocent Jewish people. Having relatives in Israel, this news greatly saddened me and I turned to the piano to express my feelings. I wrote the song very quickly.

Cyndie, my wife, plays piano. David Sinclair did the lead guitar. Gino Gerussi is on drums and Miles Foxx Hill plays bass. Mixed and mastered by Commodore Barret. The current war in Israel that Hamas started made me want to reach out to the Jewish people at this challenging time with a message of love, hope and peace. The entire world needs more love and peace. You can watch the video here: Weapons of Love

Peace and  LOVE!

Tomorrow, December 23, 2021, I will resume our Myztery Diamonds podcast! I will be playing part of our song Misericordia off of our debut album, released in 2005.

You can subscribe to it at this link on our website: https://www.podbean.com/user-oJvVwRF0purw I plan to do my podcast twice a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays. At one point I may interview guests, like I did in the past with guitar player David Sinclair (Sarah McLachlan, Prism, etc) and Rolf Kempf (Hello! Hurray!). These two interviews were part of my 21 Question Salute all about their musical background, current trends in the music business and so on. We will also be finishing up our Patreon page so that people can support us financially with a regular monthly donation of $5, $10, $25, $50 or more.

Upgrading our Recording Studio

Good morning! We recently upgraded our recording studio from Garage Band to Logic Pro X. It has many advanced features like a mixer and buses etc. We will continue to record bed tracks, e.g., click track with bass and guitar and possibly vocals. When we are ready we will rent a digital drum kit, Roland, and I will record drums for the songs.

We are using Cyndie's MacBook Air to record our album. My computer is too old! We have about 4 songs recorded partially at this time. We are also composing music for the album after this one, which will be our 6th album. It will be a concept album. We are not telling what the concept is! You have to wait until it comes out, maybe in 2021 or 2022.

We will have a lead guitar played named Andreas, who was a friend of the late David Sinclair. David's wife and our friend Christine Sinclair recommended Andreas to us, saying that his style of lead playing is quite similar to David's. Andreas also write his own songs, which is a good sign.

Have a great day!

Celebrating the Life of Keith Bennett

Today I am attending the Celebration of Life of musician and harmonica player Keith Bennett.  Keith was a good friend of our friend and lead guitarist, the late David Sinclair.  They formed a duo, David played guitar and Keith harmonica.  Here is a song called Blue Sky they did:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE9M_s2DRC0  

Keith and I were friends on Facebook but I never met him personally.  I know he loved a missed David a lot when David passed away.  May they play together at the Great Gig in the Sky.  Life is short and we never know when our time to leave it will be.  Heaven is our goal and we should always be focused on loving God and others in this life and using our talents to bring joy and peace to others.

David and Keith both used their talents to spread a lot of joy to the world. Cyndie and I are ready to start recording our 5th Myztery album.  We will wait until this coming Saturday to start recording as we are too busy this week to do it.  Have a great day!
