This is another session I forgot about until recently when I saw it posted on facebook:). Hotz (Joel) Converse is a tremendous guitar player from Auburn, NY. I love this track, it’s funk, blues, blue grass, fusion... it’s just cool. If you dig this tune please go to Hotz’ YouTube Channel and let him know. The drums i used that day were provided by my friend Pete Mendillo (Survivor, Starship, Tommy Tutone, Savoy Brown) “I wrote and recorded this back in 1985. First song I ever wrote that I almost couldn't play! Played the bass and guitar tracks, the great Frank Briggs played the drum track in one take! And the talented Ann Adessa with her powerful voice did the vocal track, exactly like I wanted it, too” - Joel “Hotz” Converse

Here is another 805 freebie as promised. I was in this band from 1978 - 1986. We were signed to RCA records in 1981 and released our first album in 1982. 805 was a popular bar band in New York State during this time. The album did chart on Billboard along with Men at Work, Missing Persons, Eddie Money etc. We peaked at #33 I think and then tanked:).. oh well. This video was recorded for MTV in it’s early days of all Music TV. This video is funny on many levels,. I composed most of the music track and never cared for the lyrics, It was however one of the tracks that got a few major labels interested... go figure:) Side note for drummers.. I was using a roto tom / acoustic drumset at the time. Roto Toms don’t go BOOM... I was a big Bruford/Bozzio fan and it seemed like a good idea at the time. The band was Edward Vivenzio (keys), Greg Liss (bass) Dave Porter (guitar & vocals) and myself. on the weirdness you see above.. This for the die hards still out there.. enjoy PS I am now encoding Webcast videos in .m4v format which will play on your ipod, iphone, ipad etc. nicely. If you have trouble and/or would like to view them elsewhere change the extension to .mp4 and it should work fine.

Melonie recorded this with our still camera. It is distorted, but serves as a snapshot of the evening.. it was a lot of fun. Kit Walker ‘s QuantumHum brings together a dynamic new trio, where world jazz keyboardist Kit Walker brings guitarist Matthew Heulitt and drummer Frank Briggs into his world of sonic exploration and cyclic expansion. World rhythm combines with electronic texture to provide the context for Kit's fiery Hammond B3, Frank's virtuosic multi-layered groove, and Matthew's inventive tonal excursions, envisioned to bring listeners and dancers to a new territory,.

This was one of my first gigs after arriving in Los Angeles. A sideline on a national Sudafed commercial. Don’t blink you might miss me:) I learned a little about the AFM. (American Federation of Musicians) doing this. Sideline rate was a flat $100. The shoot took almost an entire day. The girl speaking and pretending to play sax received about $25,000 after residuals etc. ..granted she is the star of this spot. but that isn’t why she received that amount.. the big difference is, how well SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artis)ts negotiate pay scale and residuals for their members. Anyway.. this is just for fun. My mom liked it, because it ran during her soap operas for 3 months:)
