P&H Mininq Equipment Parkfest band

I’m playing in the “opener” act at the P&H Parkfest celebration. The songs are rocked-up versions of:

Hello

Natural Woman

Stand By Your Man

Torn

Rocket Man

I want it to be that way

I’ll Be There

I believe I can fly

Never gonna give you up

Ain’t no sunshine

Livin’ La Vita Loca

I hope it’s funny!

My American Deluxe Telecaster

American Deluxe Telecaster

I love my Tele. Not wild about the butterscotch finish though, but the only other choice was black with gold fleck. I replaced the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio Chopper T because the original pickup didn’t have enough oomph to drive the amp into a good crunch; just too clean.

Guitar chords

Made my day

I was taking a walk around the block with my grand-daughter this morning. She’s almost three. As we walked the last stretch together in silence, suddenly she said “I love you, grandpa”. Made my day!

American Woman

It’s true, there’s a rocker underneath my corporate/grandfather exterior. I love using FL Studio to lay down tracks and record songs. Here’s an example: the Lenny Kravitz version of American Woman, as performed by Scott Thomason.

I did a lot of layering with this song. I’ve got tracks for drums, bass, 3 rhythm guitars, 2 solo guitars, four different vocal tracks, and the synthesizer at the end. It was a lot of fun.

If you like this, let me know and I will post some others.

Scott’s 6-pound lasagna

I’m a big eater. I take my lasagna seriously. This recipe fills a 10 x 14″ lasagna pan with 6 pounds of melted gooey goodness. Enough for days of delicious leftovers. Here’s your shopping list: Read the rest of this entry »
