Bye, Bye Isaias!

Impromptu Jam Session

It was a great treat yesterday to hear and watch an impromptu jam session between Chris Bellamy and Jerry Powell. By impromptu, I mean absolutely no rehearsal AT ALL. The two chatted about instruments, styles, songs, and so forth. Then, the fun began. Chris began things with his Nunnally Archtop Guitar and Jerry was on […]

Number 1, Ninth Time

We were reluctanct to share this stupendous news last week since we have been unable to get the charts. Our chart source, the now retirned owner of Silver Buckle Records, no longer has access to them but assured Chris that he hit #1 last week with “To Always Be Like This.” So, two things. First, […]

It’s Like This…

In spire of our best efforts, we have been unable to access the music charts thus far. We are still trying and will up date here as soon as we do. In the meantime, Chris is about to resume work on “The Waterman” Album. After working on the CD, Chris had to put that aside […]
