The Rock Club.

Hey there - All you former "garage band," college & high school band members dust off your instruments
and revitalize your musical skills.

Here is an opportunity for hobby musicians to get out and play, sharpen their chops, practice, and finally
play a gig in front of family and friends at a premiere Hollywood venue at the end of the program. 

So maybe you won't be the new Johnny Cash, Branford Marsalis or Edgar Winter. But this is an opportunity
to build upon what you already know, with guidance and leadership by my professional musician friends at
Frank McIlquham's The Rock Club Performance Program.

This is a new concept in the U.S. and based in Long Beach, CA. (soon to be started in other cities). 
I am impressed with the possibilities. Check it out for yourself www.therockclub.net.

Music is universal, music heals, music for peace......Be part of it.

The Podcast!

 Hello Friends and Fans:

I recently had the pleasure of doing an interview with Inside MusicCast.

What a great experience.  We chatted about the music business, current artists, and much loved departed artists, such as Jeff Pocaro and King Curtis to mention a couple.

When you have a  moment, kick back and check out Inside Musicast's website.

Log on to the Inside MusiCast web site at http://www.insidemusicast.com.

Once you access the site, you will see my photo along with a brief bio. Below  that you will see the "Listening Options" area. You can either download the MP3, or if you click on the Podtrac Player  link, the interview should begin playing within a few seconds.

 Peace always,

Bernard Purdie
