Walker and Jus Bus meet

(Me) Walker and producer Jus Bus who did "It's never too late" with Trevor Off-Key and Alison Hinds will meet tonight for the first time. It is not the first time I've worked with talent that I have never met, my introduction to Soca was a blind duet with Machel Montano, we didn't meet until 3 months after our first collaboration.....that worked out fine. I'm looking forward to meeting Jus. He is, in my opinion, the most original producer in music right now. He has relocated to NYC and I suggest all of my musical friends and contemporaries give his music a listen.

A Reason to Believe

My inactivity has forced me to evaluate my career. My initial feeling was wow,I've accomplished nothing and I've really never recorded any music the way I've heard it in my head over the years. I've clung to things and gone through the motions of a performer in order to anesthetize my absence of expression....Then I thought.....Gary has it wrapped in a little package for everyone......I guess it's time to lock myself in a room and keep on fooling myself....and with the grace of God...someone else.

Musicians Wanted

Well, I'm looking to put together a band that wants to do original material....Rock/R+B/Soca/Reggae anything that has cement grooves and can move people. The musicians from the past Brotherhood of the Grape bands are all involved in new and exciting projects...Symptom 7,Ace in the Hole,Drexler..etc...I'm not ready to start pimping myself out to cover bands to make money...so if you have guts and drive....let's go....and let your soul glow.

Labor Day Jam

Labor Day Jam @ The Rail 2 Coleman Square Howard Beach N.Y. 11414 9pm till ? Into the Whip Records is hosting a jam session with all of the musicians. Special guest percussion player Ernesto Garcia(above) will sit in with Me(walker),Eddy Joe,BMWA,Ed the Ace,Geoff Unger and many more.....All styles of music will be performed....come down and welcome Ernesto....have a few cocktails....you know the routine.

The setting sun

The sun sets on my music. I used to pour wine into my head with blank men, failed men who remained unafraid in the dirty side streets of New York City......Now I'm just a colorless cut out of my potential......I think I'll vanish for a while....into Hemingway,Fante,Bukowski and a few hundred trips to the Racetrack....you can keep it...whatever the hell it is.

Nova

I was watching T.V. last night and saw a documentary on The Planet of the Apes. I was a huge fan when I was a kid.....and man did I have a crush on actress Linda Harrison......I guess I still do...I'm writing about it.....can you blame me?

Mugger,Fred and Charlie

"We are all here to go"...... and some, way too soon. This year we lost my cousin John "Mugger" Hornung and Fred Stelloh...who were two of the best guys in the whole world. They both we're icons in H.B. and their goodness and charity will be missed severely.....It is hard to imagine performing and not seeing one of them in the audience....they both we're the best kind of friend a guy could have....Charlie Munga (who died a few years back)...must have been lonely..Somewhere there are a bunch of classic cars being repaired and driven fast with "Metal" on the radio's cranked to 11!

42nd street and Broadway

Here are a few pics from the NYC film award show in Times Square. Vinnie Stigma from Agnostic Front was on hand to give me my award for best original song in a feature film. I performed with Mike D and it was a good get together. Thaddeus got his award too. In spite of all this good stuff, I feel nuttier than squirrel shit.
