Remembering T-Bone Wolk
 Posted 3/2/2010 3:26:00 PM
It is with a heavy heart that I report Tom “T-Bone” Wolk — best known for being the long-time bassist for Hall & Oates and, for many years, a member of the Saturday Night Live band alongside guitarist/bandleader G.E. Smith — died of a heart attack on Saturday. In addition to his work with H&O, Wolk — an in-demand producer and multi-instrumentalist — collaborated with the likes of Carly Simon, Elvis Costello, Billy Joel, and dozens of others during his career. I was lucky enough to know T-Bone, and aside from being such a talented artist, he was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. This is truly a loss to the music world. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fans.
This morning, Daryl Hall and John Oates issued the following statements:
Daryl Hall: To say that I am shocked is the ultimate ...

Tyler Back With Aerosmith
Posted 3/2/2010 10:39:00 AM
It's official (as of 2/26) - Aerosmith and Steven Tyler have ironed out their differences and are going to tour Europe. They'll kick things off with festival dates in Sweden and the UK in early June. They'll make their way across the continent, winding up in Italy on July 3rd.
Tyler says on AeroForceOne.com, "I just auditioned and I got the gig.... Look out baby 'cause here we come again. Back by popular demand with more spit and fire than ever before, we're coming across the pond and parting the waters as we go." No word yet on if they'll tour the U.S.
Timothy B. Schmit interview - Part 12
Posted 2/12/2010 11:15:00 AM
In October of 2009, Eagles bassist Timothy B. Schmit stopped by the studio to talk about his new solo album, Expando, which features a wide array of special guests including Graham Nash, Garth Hudson, Dwight Yoakam, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Kid Rock, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. He was very generous with his time and it was a pleasure speaking with such a class act.
Since the interview was so long, it has been broken down into several parts. Part 12 is actually the END of the interview (so it might make more sense to scroll back a few pages and begin listening with Part 1.....). In this last clip, Timothy gives his website address and also talks a little about being on the social networks (ie: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter).

Timothy B. Schmit interview - Part 11
Posted 2/7/2010 10:08:00 AM
Due to having to break this interview down into multiple parts for the website, this portion actually begins with the very end of Part 10 (so it might make more sense to listen to Part 10 first, if you wish.....otherwise, just be advised that's why it sounds like something is missing!). In Part 11, Timothy talks about the cities that he had HOPED to include during his East Coast solo run, and why he had to skip Philadelphia this time.
