Kathy Peck, honored as "Punk of the Month" in the Punk Globe (November 2005), --- Where were you when "The Mab" was the place in San Francisco where it was all going on? Dirksen Molloy Productions

04-18-06 This was an experiment on Easter Sunday. I had a photo camera that takes one minute movies with sound. I was fooling around with software and learning technology. After being in Idaho recovering from a broken leg and being couped up in a lodge for over six weeks only going out side twice, you might be able to see why I made this stupid movie. It's called "Easter and Taxes" and you probably don't want to go there. Don't say I didn't warn you. "Easter and TaxEZ"

My first two solo albums, "Diesel Harmonics" and "Louisiana Melody"... If you would like to listen, buy CDs here at CD Baby.

Both CD's available on iTunes

Do you like string quartets? These folks are great! Cypress String Quartet

CHOO CHOO THE CHIHUAHUA SAYS "I LOVE YOU"

What a great time that was playing as the "BigOle Jet Airliner" flew over us as we kicked off the song. We are all sad to hear that Paul Pena, the writer of that great song, has passed away. We love you Paul.

My wife Kathy Peck has had an exciting year as well with H.E.A.R. One of the momentous events was the lead story in News Week . Front page cover and 8 page article. Check it out - lots of good info there. Another article on the CNN website about Ipods and your hearing. She has completed 3 non profit auctions on E-Bay for the "Tech Awards Music & Sound Auction" and helped raised money for the "Chet Helms" family. My hat is off to you my love.

Lots of new pictures of our trips ofMendocino, Idaho and more of Yosemite.

with the water as high as we have ever seen it. A bit of work to get it all up on the net but will be working at it soon Click on their link for a taste.

New* Audio loops? Tons of free loops from nature and worldly sounds to music from my good friend's site from Barcelona. Here is what they offer "royalty free music, sound effects, midi files, audio software and sound advice". Of coarse, there are some fantastic CDs you can buy. Partners in Rhyme.

Had a blast playing with the Squid Vicious Orchestra at the Tribal Stomp in memory of ChetHelms and the Family Dog in Golden Gate Park with a fantastc line up of groups and friends from the sixties. Woah!

After fronting the band for a few Steve Miller songs, the Vicious Orchestra backed up Nick Gravenites and as I turned around, Greg Douglas a life long peer and friend was playing slide right beside me and brought me back to the days in the 70's when Steve Miller's "Book of Dreams" was off the charts and Greg and I were touring doing huge venues and flying around in Lear Jets. AH Yes! "The good old days". Like the "Day on the Green" at the Oakland Coliseum.
