Hi friends,
Got a last minute call from my friend Happy Walters
music supervisor for The Fighter, Big Lebowski among others
he asked if I would put together an acoustic version of Little Red Riding Hood
by Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs for Amanda Seyfried to sing.
She has a beautiful soft voice so i did acoustic, strings, piano and bells
Happy co produced vocals with me in a few hours and we shot this webisode as well
Amanda was a joy to work with . Super talent and a true pro.
Yep its happenin I’m turning 50. How am I feelin about it?? I’m alright. I’m actually surprise I made it this far. Had many close calls and have had quite a life up to now. I have mellowed a lot in the last couple of years and things seem to be easier somehow. I don’t sweat the small stuff I quess.
I have done so many things and traveled so many places and have met so many great people in my travels.
Have I made mistakes ??
Plenty…but at this phase of my life I feel like resentments and feelings I held when I was younger for situations I was in at the time seem so minuscule now. Let Bygones be bygones if you know what I mean.
A lot of it is like watching somebody elses movie. Like the GNR years . Feels like another lifetime. And how I was then is so removed from who I am now. Gratitude is where I am at. The fact that I have lived my dreams that have gone far beyond my expectations. There is nothing that life can hand me I can’t handle at this point. It wasn’t always easy. But knowing that I am always grounded. And did have moments when I wasn’t when I was younger.
So that being said I look forward to what the future holds. Life is more exciting than ever.
50 and ready to rock
Happy Birthday to my longtime engineer and friend Alex Torodov. Have spent endless hours in the studio recording with him at my studio Drac with VR, Billy Gibbons, Macy Gray, Cherie Currie, Darling Stilettos, Stevie Salas, Infected Mushroom, Camp Freddy and Many more.
