Dave Rudbargs Album
I'm currently working on what is turning out to be a really exciting album with New Jersey vocalist Dave Rudbarg, in association with engineer/producer Steve Gordon who has a studio in Hialeah, Miami. The drummer on the sessions is Dave Scott, and the keyboards are from John Rose (no relation) both also from Miami. I did bass, acoustics and lead here in Newcastle via Internet file transfer.
How this all came about was, I was playing a strat in the Guitar Center in Manhattan about 18 months ago and the guy who worked in the shop, called Eddie Solomonson, who is a friend of Steve's in Miami. He took my email and when I returned to the UK we chatted and I sent him a couple my tracks, which he then forwarded to Steve in Florida. Steve then contacted me and I travelled to Miami to see him and meet his contacts. Thus it has evolved into me being invited onto this project. For a taster of how this project is sounding, you can hear "Am I Loosing You" being played by Paul Nicholls on his Internet podcast podcastpaul.I think Dave is a phenomenal vocalist and I really wish him all the best with this project. The album will be released next year and it is hoped that gigs in the UK & US will happen in due course.
ps.. I have put Dave & Steve into my to top myspace friends so people can see more about their respective careers and projects etc.

Eddie Van Halens guitar?
Could this have been Eddie Van Halens guitar? Well, we cant say for sure, but it has a story attached to it that certainly makes us wonder.My friend Doug who lives near Glasgow collects all manner of EVH guitars and has what is easily the largest collection in the UK, and maybe even Europe. So when he bought this guitar from a vendor in the USA, who for the purpose of this blog shall remain anonymous, Doug was concerned to see a serial number that did not match any of the guitars he already owned or any of the other models he was aware of. So, Doug contacted Ernie Ball and asked if they thought the instrument could be a fake. Their response was a revelation, Ernie Ball seemed frantic about the guitar and were pressurising Doug to reveal its source, stating that is was a none retail model that had been made as a special order. So we now ask ourselves, who would instigate a special order? And who would the order be for? And why the reaction from Ernie Ball?
It could be that this guitar was part of the development of the EVH Wolfgang series, or it was a gift from EVH to someone else? Or, was it actually Eddie's guitar and when he split from his tech, the guitar was then "moved on" so to speak, and has since fallen into the hands of a specialist dealer? We will never know for sure. But there was certainly something about this guitar that got Ernie Ball very excited.
