This track is by a band I was in called RITUAL, and the album it is from is called "Nothing Strange."  According to vocalist/lyricist Mike Day, it's a song about Frank Sinatra's love for Ava Gardner.  The lush rhythm guitars were provided by Jon Tompkins, and the lovely solos are from myself and Ken Rosser on guitar.

This is a live recording of a song by a band I was in called "Shut Up Marie."  The song was written by the amazing vocalist Annette Bzdawka, with drums by Don Medina, guitar by Steve Braverman, and me on bass.  It was the set closer for our gig at the Viper Room, where the whole set was as high-powered as this song, and we blew the audience away.

Tim Duffy has devoted the last two decades of his life to the Music Maker Relief Foundation, a non-profit that helps musicians in the South that have fallen on hard times. In late 1995, around the time the organization launched, he found himself in a New York brownstone with Eric Clapton. "Eric noticed the 1930 Martin 00-18 sitting in the corner," Duffy says. "When Eric began to play, it was spellbinding and among the most amazing musical moments of my life. I picked up my guitar and quickly tuned it a half-step up to match his and began to play some back up guitar licks that I learned from Guitar Gabriel."

The duo recorded a cover of "Mississippi blues" by Willie Brown that Duffy has recently dug up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Music Maker Relief Foundation. "Music Maker is a fabulous project," says Clapton, "real evidence that the music I have always loved is alive and well."

I love music, always have. This is where I become one with the universe. I compose music and write songs across many different genres. My material has appeared on progressive rock albums by the Los Angeles band RITUAL (http://www.reverbnation.com/laritual) as well as on spoken word albums by my author, teacher, and love guru wife Kathryn Alice (https://alitomco.com). 

I have spent many years traveling the world with my family picking up inspiration along the way. I currently live in Malibu, California and am in the midst of recording my first full-length album. Look for more new music in the coming months!
