The new HAMMOND XK-4 in my studio. This little beast continues the tradition of the "entry-level" Hammonds being "secret weapons". It screams, it coos, it snuggles up to your playing. And I'm not speaking as a Hammond team member, this thing is THAT good...

A grand evening in Highland Park, IL with the Ides Of March, made even sweeter 'cos our Grandkids Parker and Ashlyn were along. Extra inspriration, and extra vibes a-plenty! What a treat!

the Ides' intrepid guitar tech MAX CHERRY asked what the Suzuki Andes keyboard sounded like. I saw this as another opportunity for public ridicule (for me, not for the instrument, which is brilliant)

@BruceWolfChi a nice guy…

Early morning Guitar Shenanigans in the Fatcave. A Fiendish and Cunning Musical plan is being hatched. Stay Tuned...

[Scott May @srmqzq]

I did my first session in my newly refitted studio—a promo for the CORNERSTONES OF ROCK show coming up May 6th at the Egyptian theatre in DeKalb IL. Everything worked Perfectly!!!

@BruceWolfChi Actually, in Chicago, it's "Jagoff" with a "g". A uniquely Chicago oath/noun. It's "Jackoff" on the West Coast-"Jerkoff" on the East. In Chicago and Philly it's "Jagoff".

Studio refit (the “FATCAVE”) almost done…

A fabulous night for Chris and I at the City Winery Chicago. Dave Mason and his band were completely outasite.
