I had a remarkable day in a recording studio yesterday with these two incredible bass players. My regular guy with my band John Dawson rock solid as ever. At one point the studio was invaded by a fan who declared “John Dawson, you’re my hero! – then, (to his friend) hey Eddie- It’s the bass player with the Russ Tippins Band

Then John Gallagher who I hadn’t seen in 38 years since we worked together on Raven’s landmark “Rock Until You Drop” album. It was almost as if no time had passed at all. We were right back in 1980. As crazy as ever and laughing fit to bust. Producing that Raven album was my craziest time in a recording studio ever. Today reminiscences abounded and some memories emerged I had long forgotten. Some will be revealed in my book and some will remain under wraps forever. John Dawson you are sworn to secrecy.

At one point the two Johns got to talking bass. The studio clock was ticking over (i.e. money) but we didn’t have the heart to stop them.

A Quiet Moment in The Studio

Last time I was in a studio with John recording the Rock Until You Drop album there were NO quiet moments!
