The Story of My Life

Can't believe it's been ten years since the great Shawn Lane passed. As a tribute, on this day in 2007 I had decided to record my favorite composition of his - 'Epilogue for Lisa.' This was a live duo performance with myself playing the guitar and my friend Dane Farnsworth accompanying me on the piano. R.I.P. Shawn - Your music lives on.


Epilogue For Lisa (Shawn Lane Tribute)

From the soon to be released Album "Insanium"

This is the last performance I did with Shawn Lane. It was recorded live to DAT at Ventura Theater in Ventura, CA in February '93. This is off the "Powers Of Ten Live" album featuring myself on drums, Todd Bobo on sax, Doug Scarborough on keys, and Barry Bays on bass. We were part of some small rock festival that day and I remember a band similar to the B52's went on after our set. I played every show as if it were my last and I believe I did on this one at the age of 22. It was a nice sunny afternoon at the end of our show and we went to a 50's themed diner afterward. I remember it like yesterday almost exactly 20 years ago. I had a habit of giving blank DATs to the house engineers and asking them to record the shows. This tape was eaten by my DAT player months after the show but I made a TDK SAX-90 cassette copy of the DAT which I left blank at my Uncle Joey's place in Washington DC. I flew to DC and instantly recognized the blank TDK cassette sitting in the white basket of tapes where I left it for almost a year. I transfered it back to DAT and mailed a CD copy to Shawn in Memphis years later. He added Todd Bobo's sax, bass overdubs and a little background guitars. It was mixed and mastered and VOILA!!!!!!! The album "Powers Of Ten Live" was produced and distributed. 

Tri 7/5 featuring Shawn Lane

Blues guitar phenom Eric Gales was born and raised in Memphis, learning to play at age four from older brothers Eugene and Manuel in imitation of their upside-down, left-handed style. Winning his first blues contest at 11, four years later Eric signed to Elektra to issue his 1991 debut LP, recorded with Eugene on bass. Manuel (who previously performed under the alias Little Jimmy King) reunited with his siblings for 1995's Left Hand Brand, credited to the Gales Brothers. A newly matured Gales returned in the new millenium to start his solo career. With Mike Varney and his label Shrapnel Records Eric has found a home among some of the best guitar players in the world. His 2011 album, "Transformation" is out at stores, Amazon and on iTunes now.http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/transformation/id448798366
