This is the life! No securtiy, no lines, just off the plane and on the bus. KILLER! This was Bob Dylan's Gulfstream Jet we borrowed for a couple of days. It was amazing. 48,000 feet, fine wine & chocolate, chillin like a villian.

SOC during a photo shoot. Let me say that Bill Champlin is a not well dude. My look is one of wonder of who am I dealing with here. The other dudes are used to it by now. DAYUM!! Ive got a thicker skin now. Thanks for the life lessons BILL!

A heavy funky moment in Sacramento, Ca with the Sons during Misery, Bill's guitar showcase. Bend that shit BIll!

SOC was in Washington for a gig and Bill had a plane cancel on him after a Chicago date and he had to charter a plane to get to the gig. Its a wild story of chance, but the short of it was the band had to do a first set of instrumentals before Bill got there. The fans dug it alot. Tom Saviano and I are cuttiin it up.

Bill Champlin and T.mO at the Little Fox in Redwood City 04' with a pair of Gibsons, his is an original 345. MAN! He brought that sucker out just to make me jealous. IT WORKED!

My wife Amber and I hangin with the amazing Verdine White, the anchor and pulse for Earth Wind & Fire! This was backstage at Concord Pavillion when Chigaco and EW&F were touring together.

Focusing on a part with The Sons of Champlin. I learned a great amount playing with this band for 4 years. It was a great opportunity for me and I thank all who helped it happen. Thats you Geoff, Bill, David, Mic, Preston, Tom and all the fans!

The great one, Terry Haggerty in 2004, the original guitarist for the Sons of Champlin and the architect of bebop rock. One funky MF and  an out there amazing cat. Mike Miller, Larry Carlton, and all the yo LA cats owe a thanks to Terry for forging this style. He is still a crazy world class talent and powerful force of nature. Check him out sometime! www.terryhaggerty.com

This was a session for GuitarPort that I produced for Line 6. Our job was to recreate the great guitar recordings and make the ultimate guitar Karaoke. Instead of doing it myself I told Line 6 that I would call Robben and ask him to re record some of his tunes with the original band for us. He agreed. This was the first time the band had played in over 4 years. A great day. I also got to record a couple of tunes with the Blue Line myself. YEAH!

Bay area legend and friend, Vernon "Ice" Black. A smokin hot guitar player who has played with Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and a bazillion others. What a great talent and person.

The Sons at the Mystic Theater in Santa Rosa, Ca

James Preston during the recording of Hip 'Lil Dreams.

Feelin' the Spirit with the Sons!!

The Mostly Dylan Band, Tom Corwin, Tim Hockenberry, David Tucker, Gawain Matthews and me. One of the best music experiences of my life.

This was a jam session at the old Hun Sound in San Rafael Ca, what a day!! Jamming with Santana, Steve Smith, Michael Carabello, Ross Valory, Jonathan Cain, and Santana on Jingo Ba. Jingoooooooooo...

Hangin with the Blue Line. These guys backed Robben Ford for years and Eric Johnson to name just two of many. I was lucky enough to play with these guys in the studio while they were doing GuitarPort Sessions for Line 6

Hangin' with Roger Clemmons while on tour with Huey Lewis in Houston. We were personal guests of the Rocket and he treated us right, a private luxury box fully catered, amazing view, autographed ball, mine says to T.mO best wishes Rocket. This shot is from my cell while he is signing the ball. TOO COOL!

Huey is a great showman and a giver of nicknames. LIKE T.mO!!! I was onstage oneday and it just comes out of his mouth. "Ladies and Gentelmen, the quintessential Bay Area Guitar Prodigy, T.mO!!" I was standing there with a numb look. Well if I have to be christened by someone Im cool with HUEY! Thanks dued! T.mO

This was after the performance we gave at the Conan O'Brien show in NYC in 03 with me Huey, and Jimmy Vivino of the Max Weinberg 7. I saw him again last month at Madison Square Garden. He was two seats away and we were geekin out about Eric Claptons band. Good times!!

Jammin with the Doobies at the BR COHN winery in Sonoma. Listen to the MUSIC!
