I recently had fun talking about my favorite vegan food, the time I told Motörhead to turn down and whether I prefer boxers or briefs. Thanks to Joe West and Mike Shimshack for having me.

Hey y’all. I don’t post here very often.
I’m still doin what I do and feeling extra grateful to be working a lot during this very difficult time.
Take care and stay safe, everybody.

On the final leg of the journey to have lacquer for vinyl production capability, here at the studio. It’s been a long road and we’re almost there.....

I’m very happy to get the news that Fantastic Negrito won the Grammy for Best Contrnporary Blues album. Number 2 for Xavier and number 7 for myself. I love Xavier’s music and lyrical sensibility, plus Matt Winegar delivered most excellent mixes. Glad to play a small part on this one. Life is good!

Here’s something i recently mastered that I think is truly exceptional. Victoria Victoria from Winston Salem, North Carolina. Beautifully produced and recorded by Stephen Price. Dig it.

Ok Facebook, I’m back here to do something that will ‘engage’ my audience, which is what you seem to tell me to do almost constantly. Seems like my last post was a year ago? Lol.

Let’s see....another Grammy win earlier this year (number 6), that was cool.
My vintage Scully lathe (the project that seems to be never ending) is HOPEFULLY coming online soon, so I’ll be cutting lacquers for vinyl production. Yay!
I will be starting the new studio build in the fall. FINALLY! I’m psyched about that. Found a super cool building barely minutes from my crib.
The Electronaut M97’s and a Prism DA-2, are super fun, new additions to the gear lineup...and most importantly the projects seem to be even more fun, well done, and musically diverse as time goes on. I have the absolute best clients and I’m constantly grateful for all of them even if I don’t always feel like making time to share all the day to day musical treats and names of the pertinent artists and co-conspirators that grace my studio.
I guess that’s about it for now. I’ll try and be back for updates more often, but if not, I put most of the day to day stuff up on Instagram for any of y’all that are really interested.
Over and out!

Oh Facebook. Yes, I know you haven't seen me here in a while. I've been busy. I just don't find the need to post every darn project that flitters down to my console like a butterfly pausing on my nose. It's been a good year so far. Great projects, new gear (mmmm), a nice Grammy win this year, a fun new car and lots of bike riding and meditatin'. Life is good, so give it a rest, ok?
