Duende Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Neolibman I have a few that are very fond memories... Bernie Torme (ex Gillan, as in Deep Purples Ian Gillan) comes to my wife and my guitars society once a year to do a master class. At the end he is always up for a jam. We did 'All Along The Watchtower' last year and the year before 'Baby What You Want Me To Do'. He is a wonderful player and really easy to jam with. Perhaps most special (for me) was playing with ex Randy Rhoads ex pupil Janet Robin last year. Janet used to be in the 80's/90's all girl group Precious Metal. Also we here at the Gibson forums have our very own celebrity Chrisdude :- , who plays with founding member of Judas Priest, Al Atkins. Chris jammed with me, Roger and his 3 year old Rhiannon. That jam involved lots of beer a very echoey mansion room and lots of fun chaos!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Lessee...where to start. Played... jammed... some... but I was part of a start-up act for bands back in the 60's, (SF Bay Area), so, yeah..... Did shows with Yardbirds, THEM, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Byrds, Turtles, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Love, Grassroots, Animals, Chuck Berry, Bobby Fuller Four, Beau Brummels, Vejtables, and on and on.... was even booked to "start" the Beatles concert at Candlestick, (Aug. 1966), but got knocked off the bill due to union issues, (SF is Local 6, I was Local 510 in San Leandro). I went to highschool with Mimi & Rocco from Tower of Power, (still talk to Mimi on occasion). For years lamented the fact that I never "made it", (could it be my guitar playing?), but am very comfortable in my life. Wouldn't change a thing.

I have worked with many a well known name as sound engineer but I can't say I have ever jammed with any of them... Some include, Barry White, The Police, The Village People, Kool and the Gang, Grace Jones.... Robert Trujillo of Matallica use to hang at my studio in LA and played on some of my stuff but that was even before Infectious Grooves. Dave Dunn who did Keyboard work for Infectious Grooves was my production partner at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 HAHA...at my age, I barely "walk" let alone "rock". But thanx...it was a LONG time ago, (although I did a "SF Bay Area Bands From The 60's Reunion" gig with T.O.P. in 2007). Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Actually I've seen posters showing that I DID play with The WHO...but I don't recall it... you know what they say, "If you remember the 60's, you didn't adequately partake!"

DanvillRob Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 BB, you're very kind.... but don't bow down..... at my age it's too hard to get back up..... I was lucky to have lived in the Bay Area at exactly the right time. I graduated highschool during "The Summer of Love", and my family was/is musical. My mom and dad met, (rest their souls), when he was playing and she was dancing! My sister is married to a working musician (25+ years), my brother is back doing shows in Virginia City, so it just came naturally and easily.
