3 wise guys with a whole lotta soul




HAPPY & MERRY CHRISMANAKWANZA TO ALL

The three wise men had nothing on these cats. My California connections;

David Crane , brother, sponsor, friend and musical collaborator. We spent some time together running the streets of Goleta in the 80's (Ha-ha...). Actually we did play allot of musical venues in Santa Barbara and Ventura areas. We even played on cable TV a few times as the band Crane Crawley featuring bass player Larry Cappdeville and drummer Rod Rolle http://www.rodrolle.com/ or (Stiff Pickle Orchestra Bio) . After I had moved on, David put out 2 really good discs The one above was titled Trailer Trouble, it was under the assumed name Earl LaRoux (David claimed it was one of his alter egos) and the other was titled The Crucible. To purchase click on his name highlighted above.

Mitch Kashmar http://www.mitchkashmar.com/ truly one of the best harp players on the planet....Not a bad point guard either. Should have been a Laker in his heyday, brother's got some skills. Check out his site and his records. The latest features Musicians: Jr. Watson - guitar Ronnie James Weber - upright & Fender bass Richard Innes - drums Bob Welsh - piano / guitar on "Runnin' off at the Mouth" Special Guest Artists: Arthur Adams - guitar & vocals on "Knock 'em Dead" Abu Talib - guitar& vocals on Lizzy Mae

Robert Thomas Bio (Robert Thomas Bucy aka/ Texas Tom) another skilled guitar player w/ a couple of great records out. Tom's a great friend who I've kept in touch w/ over the years. RTB has played from San Diego to San Francisco and all points in between.
Truly 3 great people who have crossed my path on the road of life. Although David's not longer with us, his spirit lives on in the music he left us... As for Mitch and Tom, rock on boys and we hope to see you down the road soon... peace, mc
