Another nice review - in Dutch - for all my Netherlands peeps (or anyone who can "nederlandse praten") Now wouldn't it be nice if I could get some traction over there where I have lived, have family and spend much of my time in every year for the past 20? 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

John Lennon & Steve Conte mentioned in the same sentence & both featured in the same music news program? The 7 year old Beatle-maniac version of myself wouldn’t have believed that it could happen in his future. Hang in there kids, ya never know…

I've spent the past 8 hours doing my taxes & listening to piano compositions by Claude Debussy. Wow! This cat was so ahead of the curve. I hear things that modern jazz/fusion/prog/art rock players have copped. Like the Impressionist painters, he pushed the envelope...GO LISTEN!
(I always thought it felt more like TOL with the bell being the anvil…) 😎
Ahh - a Colin song…
(I do like that one a lot)
I bet it’s because of the bell ringing , yeah?
Absolutely! (Black Sea is one of my all-time favorite albums.) I also thought it had a similar feel as "The Meeting Place" on Skylarking.
Regardless, it's a great blend of your and Andy's song crafting.
Excellent work!

You may agree that this is the most XTC sounding song on my new album, The Concrete Jangle...and for good reason.
I'll tell the full story of the writing soon, but know it was an equal collab 😎

Thanks to all who came out to the Joey Ramone Birthday Bash last night! 1st time playing it w/ my own band - Rob Youngberg on drums & Ben Toro on bass - our 1st public appearance! (Back in 2007 I played the JRBB w/ New York Dolls at Irving Plaza). HBD Joey, wherever you are.

What I would give to be able to play guitar - no, let me rephrase that - to "make music" like this guy, with a guitar & a voice. In HARMONY!! It's pretty much the highest level shit I have ever seen. Pure MUSIC, no hype, marketing, or bullshit. And he's BLIND.

Rory Hoffman Goes Beast Mode (Route 66)
I found this clip on Facebook but couldn't find it here on YouTube. Rory is one of the best musicians alive. His solo starts at 2:47, and then at 5:50 starts singing along with his solo, and then at 6:54 he starts harmonizing with himself while soloing! If you listen to anything, check out that part. He can hear everything. He's not just playing licks and patterns. Rory is the real deal. A blessing to get to hear him play. The whole band really swings. https://linktr.ee/badach link to bass cover spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aOcgAWDbhqVagr3gmfBS2hz_nDxs713k6J6s8bDFhVo/ link to playlist spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GoAWNJKCleq-ZijN3mW2i97H9Z0lTueX_5aiHkHhn54/

Just did an interview with Mexican Playboy (that's Playboy Magazine in Mexico, don't be confused...)
We talked a lot about my experience in the Prince camp as guitarist/musical director w/ his protege, Jill Jones in 1987.

Jill Jones complete album* (1987) @duane.PrinceDMSR
“Jill Jones” is the first album by Jill Jones, and her only album to feature Prince input and her only Paisley Park album. SONG LIST: 01 .. 00:00 // Intro (Baby, You’re A Trip) - Mia Bocca (7m 20s) 02 .. 07:20 // G-Spot (4m 30s) 03 .. 11:49 // Violet Blue (4m 24s) 04 .. 16:13 // With You (4m 00s) 05 .. 20:13 // All Day, All Night (5m 41s) 06 .. 25:53 // For Love (4m 27s) 07 .. 30:20 // My Man (3m 15s) Baby, You’re A Trip (*) (*) Not included because Warner Bros. completely blocks the song 🙁 All of the eight tracks were written by Prince (although he was listed as co-writer on only five, with Jill credited for seven songs), and seven of the tracks feature his input musically. The songs were recorded between July 1982 and October 1986. Many of them were initially recorded by Prince before lead vocal overdubs by Jill Jones were added. Prince worked on overdubs and mixing in November 1986. LP Released: May 19, 1987 Label: Paisley Park Records / Warner Bros.

Awoke on the Baltic Sea this morning to find Stockholm outside my ship cabin window - and 14 hours later, I’m back home in NYC. Another fine gig on the Viking Grace Cruise Line!
Thanks Finland (& Sweden) for being great audiences once again on this spring tour!
How many shows did you see? Was the set list different each night?
Stevie VZ was nice enough to get me into their MetLife gig w/ my son (well, I am an artist on his label after all) 😎
Great set list that night in NJ!
