Artist Recommendations.

[jim campbell]

where do you do most of your playing,and what kind of stuff do you usually do?

[Fred Sanford]

Just moved from NYC to VA, don't play anywhere just now.

Haven't played the clubs in NY in a few years, the reference I made was to Nightingale's in the late '80s or so.

Drums is funk, rock, theater, blues, just about anything.

Guitar & bass is generally rock, metal & blues, but I've done a bit of everything at one time or another. My technique's not bad, but I know very little for theory- teach me something, I'll play it well. I really only picked up guitars because I had them around for repair, and also 'cause you can play them more quietly than drums...now, like JBLs, the good ones and the orphans threaten to take over the house. This shot's from ~'94.

well it sounds to me that the music scene is pretty healthy in your area.im just the opposite,i can absorb the theory but applying it is the tough part.the pros call it a case of ....well, no talent.but i still horse around for fun

[Fred Sanford]

It's all about the fun. I go to great lengths purely to amuse myself.

Learning a lot in the process, but I got pretty much as far as any talent I have would take me a while back, actual skill is taking plenty of time.

I picked one up made by Fender '67-'68 vintage a few weeks ago. I plan to refurbish it. Everything was there including foot pedal. I've got a thread with a pic here.

Frank Meldenhall

Frank only produced 3 albums before his demise. The album Hard Times is by far my favorite. Especially the tracks "Jealous" and "Shont Dont Dont" are real Butt shakers. The line up includes: Fank Mendenhall (guitars)(Vocals); Jermaine Caswell Jr., Skip Fernell (keyboards); Jerry Wilder (electric bass); Steven Walker (drums).

Frank had a unique voice somewhere between Al Green and Bobby Rush.

AL

[Fred Sanford]

Still with the Irish band theme, a band called "Something Happens" has two strong albums, 'Stuck Together With God's Glue' and 'Bedlam A-Go-Go'. The former is a bit quieter, but both have strong songwriting and interesting textures and memorable tunes. Good (but not natural, I'm In The Room With The Band) production on both. "God's Glue" is one of my all-time favorites, a desert-island disc for me. Available used on Amazon for reasonable prices.
