From: Kulick.net Another day down at the Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp, and another great blog from Bruce: "What an amazing day at the camp! Just finished rehearsing for the Sirius radio performance with Mark Farner for tomorrow morning's Howard Stern show. I am a big fan of Howard to meeting him again after all these years is gonna be cool... except for the early 7 AM lobby call!!! BTW it is almost midnight already and I am still at Gibson here in midtown. So that is my crazy schedule but that is Rock N Roll. As David Fishof the promoter says, you sleep when you're dead! First let me start off with last night's late jam I had with Peter Tork of the Monkees. So cool to jam "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm A Believer". I was on cloud nine doing that. I am a huge Monkees fan, so you can imagine how floored I was to be jamming with him. After not enough sleep it was off to the camp today to rehearse the second song with my band "Hell's Kitchen". We chose The Romantics song "What I Like About You". Really fun to play, although I am getting tired playing the bass. But I do love playing bass as you all know. We then had a visit from the David Letterman's horn section. They found their parts and away it went, really lifting the performance for sure. Looking forward them joining us at BB KING's on Thursday night. Last night I also worked out the band original with my keyboard man Barry, as he had a great idea for a Fantasy Camp theme song. That took time, as it was brand new not a real hit of course, so that was really hard work from everyone. After a grueling rehearsal, we finally got it going just before the dinner break. We will be recorded tomorrow night at Sirius studios for a compilation disc of all the bands originals. Cool idea for the camp to do that. We went back to the T Club in midtown to watch Levon Helm give a spirited performance. I loved the group The Band, and I even did some historic recording at his studio in Woodstock NY, back in 1980. Billy Squier's disc Tale Of The Tape and the second Blackjack disc with Michael Bolton was recorded at Levon's place. We met and I told him all about those sessions and what a wonderful studio he has. I think he is living back there now again. Next special guest was the eclectic Dr John. His piano playing and story telling was quite unusual as he is really an icon in the field of Louisiana music that I love, but do not know much about. Great to meet him as well as he exited the building. I then came back to Gibson for my master class on tone, which was well attended. I got the big room! I spoke about my pedals, and how to get the best sounds out of an amp and various guitars especially hinting on the KISS years. Quick rehearsal with Mark for the show, and now my blogŠphew. so off to bed for me! I am looking forward to all the excitement tomorrow. BK out!" |
