Gigs have been set up
for the month of July... both at Mesa's Hollywood Alley (details on the
LIVE PAGE). More gigs to come. All original music with my
power trio.
I am fortunate to work with some very gifted players. On bass is Ray Riendeau. I encourage any and all to do the history on this
young gentleman. Always busy and in demand with bass clinics around the country or with national rock acts, I am very happy to have him involved with the new project.
The drummer Dan Tomlinson has been with me for several years now. His inspiration and strength go above and beyond without mention. No wonder Lyle Lovett has kept him in
his band fo almost 15 years! Dan is always great to have playing the music! I can't wait for people to hear Ray and Dan as they are a great team!
Be well,
Curtis

Good Day,
OK..............The title track
for 711510 gets recorded this week and I'ld love to finish my cover of
The Pat Metheny Group's 'Across the Sky' as well as messin' around with J.C.'s
'Giant Steps'. Then I leave for England for a 17 year honeymoon
homecoming vacation.
Whilst on my "British Retreat,"
the ol' Tele gets a re-fret as well as the blue "Floyd." New electronics to
both. The J-45 needs a new bridge saddle as well as a pick up so when I get
home that will transpire.
I am also having a guitar built
while I am away. An Ice Blue Strat body(light alder) w/ a maple neck that
will spawn an ebony fretboard and matching painted headstock. Black
pickguard. A humbucker in the bridge will do nicely thank you and will
cause the bridge to be custom made (by Callaham) with a 2 1/16 Gibson spaced
vintage tremelo for that sound! More of a modern guitar w/ a flatter
radius and state of the art craftsmanship and details..........Can't wait!
A few new pics to add to the
website will be going on so keep checking. I still haven't got the 1957 Les
Paul pic up yet as well as some other newer(older) guitars and some have
been sold so will be taking those down. Would re-take all new pics of all
the guitars but for time restaints.....someday!
Will be hunting for cool british AMPS and such while in
London Town as well as collectible vinyl!
Be Well,
CR
Welcome to the
new site and thanks for dropping in!
All is running properly. PAYPAL LINKS
for the CDs are up and running with no more
problems. More images and updated guitar pics, including my
new/old 1957 Gibson Les Paul (keep posted!)
A few other guitars to add?......maybe!
I have had no time
lately to pursue bookings but this week will unfold time to make some press
releases/one sheets to secure some spots in the local loCAL - the Phoenix area
that is. The southwest tour will follow.
The new CD, '711510' is in the works
(still!) with preorders being taken at the
Store.
The music is coming along nicely with
most of the large scale pieces yet to be
recorded. This cd's planning includes more
studio technique application tracks as
opposed to a performance based way of
recording with minimal overdubbing (like the
first two cds) I will try to keep my progress
updated frequently so please check back from
time to time.
