Other Fine D8B Facilities
Dan Worley - if you know him, what else needs to be said? If you've been let down in the past by humanity, Dan was not involved. He's one of the highest quality folks you will ever know. Dan has a new site under development, Earthen Audio.
Larold Rebhun
Larold
has seen and done it all. He's simply one of the neatest guys
around - Rock and Roll, Movies, TV, and Games. He
makes me inspired and envious. He could mix a hit
record using only that old micro-cassette tape out of your answering
machine, using
different handsets for EQ!!
Mighty Steve T
Steve
is a good guy. He always has time to respond to your
questions. DOM stands for Dirty Old Men, which is Steve's
band. The FTC might have to prosecute for truth in
advertising, since Steve is neither dirty nor old...
Other Fine Friends:
Blind Karma
Here is my
newest band. There's every indication that this will be a massive power
trio. We play songs from the 60's to present, and our fan base
demographic includes Walt Disney's frozen head and Dolly the cloned
sheep. Come see us and you'll find out what a raw groove consists of.
The BuzzCats
This band was
silly enough to
hire me to play, and I'm glad they did. The band plays a bunch of my
favorite songs and makes each one ROCK! This is a once-a-decade kind of
band where every player is quite good, can dial it up or down, and jam
or play it straight. This band needs to be heard and deserves a huge
following. Come see us if you can.
The Dayton Blues Society
The Dayton
Blues Society is an up and coming organization dedicated to preserving
and promoting the blues in Dayton. It sponsors monthly jam sessions and
an annual blues extravaganza. Come and join this non-profit
organization (much like the blues itself!), and show your support for
local artists.
Mackie D8B User Group
The
Mackie d8b forum. It's a collection of some of the best
thinkers on the Internet. That place is on target and under
control.
18 Watt DIY Guitar Amp Forum
If
you're nuts about guitar amps, this place has a wealth of knowledge on
all things amp-ish, guitar-ish, and can even stop you from killing
yourself, unless you're determined. By and large, they do
extremely good work. It's a shame that you have to register to even
read it.
Corky's
Old Time Rock And Roll Revival
These guys
are actually too nice to be in a rock band. They run their
sets
on time and care about the audience. Thanks for messing it up
for
the rest of us.
Tom Sullivan Jazz and Gospel
Tom has
been one of the best friends a guy can have, and he's done it over the
long haul. I'm really proud of him for putting in
the effort
to study and command a difficult format. That jazz is
heady stuff, Tom, and my hat's off to you. Can you guys do
something in C, F or G???
Brown Note Amps
Brown Note
Amps has produced and
incredibly fine line of hand-made amplifiers. I have listened to a LOT
of guitar amplifiers and can tell you with confidence that these amps
suffer none of the issues with many builds and capture all of the
benefits possible from good design. You owe it to yourself to check out
these works of art in both form and function and be humbled as a player
by the clips. Besides, this guy's web site is simply cool. Some folks
just "get it".
Allen Amplification
David Allen
gave me reason to live. He worked
on two decades-owned amplifiers of mine. He found
capabilities inside those amps I never dreamed could be in there.
I'm distraught
can't get him to work on my entire life. Forget working on
your own amp, you're not talented enough. This guy has
forgotten more than you'll ever know. I dare you to buy a
critically broken 60's-70's Fender amp and send it to him for repair.
Only then will you know what a messed-up company
Fender is. What you get back will blow away any effort
the factory made on their best day, ever.
LaRue Designs
If you are
looking for the highest quality hand-made stitchery, then start and end
your search at LaRue Designs. She makes pillows, wearables and jewelry
from felt and many other materials. My wife and I are in love with her
work, and so is my Dad. I'll let you in on a secret, Babs is one of the
sweetest people to ever walk the face of the earth. Check it out, and
go ahead, live a little. Put some art in your life made by somebody
with the credentials to make it mean something.
Ernest Buckley
Ernest is a
talented fellow who
has just released a CD. I've heard it, and let me tell you, it's
uplifting AND well done. So what else could you possibly need to know,
other than here are good songs that are well played and recorded?? Get
over to his site, check it out, and give him a big thumbs-up!
Reynolds Audio
John is a
writer and player who
has amassed a ton of experience in live sound, recording, mixing and
mastering. Lately, he found a couple of super-creative guys to
collaborate with on some new material. It's a full band, no wait, it's
a three piece, hold on, it's also a duo, but they have written some
cool stuff which is also VERY INTERESTING on many planes. Check out
John's site and give his wares a look.
The Doug Hart Band
Doug is a
fantastic player and a gentleman. His band is tremendous and
Doug knows it! Luckily, the DHB works very hard around town
playing the best venues. Check him out - it's worth it.
Mike Safreed
To me,
finding Mike was like
stumbling onto an oasis. First off, he's professional.
Secondly, he's really smart. And neither last nor
least, he
knows what the hell he's doing. Mike is a genuine
encouragement
to me. I know he's listening, and before I can even open my
mouth, he has a brilliant idea that answers my question. Big
ears, big brain, big heart.
