About me

Hello everybody, welcome to my place.. What can I say? Like a lot of you I'm just looking for some meaning in this life, through friends, music, art and words.. I'm primarily a guitar player, then add some bass playing, songwriting, singing and writing to that.. I am so grateful that I get to play music and make a living just doing what I love the most. When I was a kid, I slept with my 1968 Goldtop Les Paul and would wake up gazing at it like I would my girlfriend. Every night I dreamt of doing what I get to do now.

I started out with the late, great Bobby Pickett, doing the Monster Mash, then played with Etta James for 14 years as her band leader. I wrote for and played with Smokey Robinson and toured for years in France.. somehow after all this time, I landed in Paul McCartney's band and am having the time of my life. I wrote and recorded my first solo record, Mondo Magneto and am really pleased with it. Check it out if you feel like it!

Also, I just finished Chris Cornell's new solo CD and did a show with Steven Tyler in the Bahamas too.. it's been insane.. Lucky stars are out lately!

I did shows with Rod "The Mod" Stewart and played a show with Scott Weiland. Then I recorded a new record with Johnny Hallyday for France. I returned to Paris to do some television promotion with him as well. What an amazing year 2007 was.. I got to play with some of my favorite singers in the world. But it was a bittersweet year too. I lost my sister and my mentor, Jean over the summer. Life just keeps on surprising us all....

I dig dreaming and eating and hanging w/my peeps, walking laughing and surfing [and swallowing mouthfuls of sea water while trying] I like surprises, making you laugh, my Aunt Lee and, oh.. I really want to get a dog! But I'm gone too much, ya know? harrrrrumph!! My friends, family and music rule my world and make it all seem bright and shiny.. I need them and all of you too!!

Did I mentioned how much I love playing guitar? I was in the studio for 9 hours the other day and when we had finished, I just wanted to keep on playing..

Ok, that's enough outta me.

I'll do my best to keep up my blog more regularly.. but I do best when I'm not pushed.. so back off!! hahahaha! Anyways... have a look around and ENJOY !! [don't you hate it when a waiter says that?] PEACE! I'm Audi ...2007 [O.G. Rapper speak].

BRAY: beacon of hope and good vibes! You perpetuate my faith in humanity and you don't even know it.

Hows stuff? I heard the Donovan gig was amazing. Wish I coulda been there!

Hey Btain hope all is well. Those tunes sounds great. A like each for it's own character. Your rock in some while carry beauifuyl laid back melodies in others. Soudns very moden and very cool. Wishing you the very best for your busy 
time period. 

Blessing
