View MoreMissing Link Us United StatesLabel: Mule-Go-Round EntertainmentBio:Making a musical recording or performance is a lot like a play. Learn your instrument parts & then integrate your sounds. These 4-track recording's here, consist mainly of two guitar and vocal. Anyone else can add a bass, keyboard, drum parts, or a proper vocal, as they please! My writing consisting of metered verse, songwriting, & a music library catalog from 1977 until present, currently via moniker, Muted; piano; Keys MusicBMI. Along the musical journey, worked with Berton Averre of The Knack, Billy Steele of Steve Perry, Robert Kuroptuwa of Jan Berry, Walter Egan of Columbia Records & Backstreet/MCA Records fame & featured in the movie, "Boogie Nights" plus author of rock 'n' roll biography, "Top Ten." While working with Walter Egan in the eighties, was fortunate enough to get some enormous tips from the late Randy California of the r'n'r group, Spirit. Many notes shared from Randy to me, such as that Jimi Hendrix used to tune his guitar to the key of, "C." Also, that the Spirit sound is mainly achieved by plugging his guitar into a bass amplifier, instead of a guitar amplifier. I was present when Randy California played his Jackson guitar for the lead on a Walter Egan song called, "Invisible Man" which can be found on Walter Egan's Lost Album for Renaissance Records. Randy California also lent me his advice about preparation for performing by stating all you do is: "Turn On" for the stage, & then, "Turn Off" when leaving. Randy also insisted to always warm up before a performance with scales & finger exercises. Photos from that session; including myself; can be found on that compact disc from Walter Egan called The Lost Album, on the Renaissance label. Additionally worked with: Roger "It's My Life/Animals" Atkins, of Screen Gems/Monkeys fame, Tony Zamora of Tremoloco & Wild Colonials, James Snodgrass of Bangles, Eddie Munoz of The Plimsouls, Stanley T., Jack Sherman of Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Diamond of Berlin, Steve Wagner, Ron Parker of Christians In Art. My professional career could have been deemed as starting in high school serving as a roadie for Robbie Rist doing frequent shows at the world famous Troubador in Hollywood. Robbie Rist opened for Jamie James' Kingbees, & Brian Wild & Livewire/B. Wild very often, and also, in the years of 1979 & 1980 Robbie Krieger of the Doors showed up often to perform guitar with Helena Springs. The Missing Link played and performed with members listed, from 1986 to 1988. The Quest played together from 1988 to 1991. Members of The Quest: Jim Stokes, Lead Guitar; Bob Stokes, Bass Guitar; Thaddeus M. Francis, Lead Vocalist & Guitar; Rick Casono, Drums; Brent Alan Beck, Guitar. In 1991 I started playing live solo performances in Los Angeles, CA at places such as: The Central/Viper Room, Music Machine, Our House, 8121 Club, The Troubadour, Be-bop Records, Natural Fudge Company, 14 Below, & various other venues.
