Demo Tunes from the 1990's

In the 1990's I was commissioned by Roland Japan to create and program sounds/samples/programs in support of their following audio products.

VG-8 Virtual Guitar
S770 Digital Sampler
MS-1 Sampler

Here are a few short demo tunes created at that time using the samples and programs with the Roland products.

These demo tunes were all written and performed in under a week's time with the help of a talented friend, Brian Hooper.

Snow Dazed and Confused

Over a week of snow and icy streets and it's starting to get old.
Having no four wheel drive vehicle is a real hazard with all of the hilly terrain here in Seattle

Whiskey A Go Go circa 60's

Sadly these two photos represent the only shots taken of the many shows I was able to catch at the funkay, funkay Whiskey A Go Go on the Hollywood Sunset Strip during the 60's and 70's.
However the show was one of the finest I witnessed there with this being Cream's first visit to Los Angeles promoting their Fresh Cream LP. The crowd was full of other celeb musicians and movie stars all there to catch the latest buzz about town. Marshall power to the people y'all!!
