We're funky, we're soulful, we do the reggae thing, we hit the occasional jam band vibe, and of course there's plenty of classic rcok in the foundation. I'm talking about the Rhythm Kings, and you can check out the band's main web site at www.RhythmKings.webhop.org .

One of my favorite online diaries is that of Robert Fripp. Robert founded Guitar Craft in 1985, and I was quite involved in the external world of Guitar Craft from 1985 to about 1992. Nowadays I am quite involved in the internal world of Guitar Craft, at least until the external world comes calling. Here's the link to Guitar Craft.

For recording shoptalk, I always check in with TapeOp. You can subscribe to the physical publication for free simply by visiting the web site. TapeOp is remarkably trustworthy and informative.

I've known him since about 1960, and we've been close friends for almost as long. Scott Kistenberger is the drummer for Chaser, and his web page is a great portal to the music scene of Long Island. Scotty also turned me on to Bandzoogle, web host of these very pages.

The Long Island music scene would be far poorer without the contributions of Wes Houston. My years with Wes from 1978-1980 were a huge part of my musical education. (Be sure to check his photos page for a couple shots of yours truly in a past life.)

Keith Hurrell is one of the finest drummers I've ever had the pleasure of playing with, and a dear friend besides. A small indication of his musicianship is that he tunes pianos for a living. For piano maintenance or drumming duties, contact Keith at his website.

As time goes on, I expect to add plenty of links for instruction in music and guitar. To get the ball rolling, let me point you to the other side of the globe and the website of Durga Ojha.  He's in Nepal, but he outlines the basics of music in clear and simple English. He also hopes to post some Nepalese folk music which I am really eager to see and hear.
