Now this fun page is basically a "Running Diary" containing Sonic Clips of Live Demos / Practice / Soundchecks and Loose Endz as I travel across this Great Land, plus a Smattering of Home Studio Jamz (So Producers, Jingle Writers, Pop Song Puppets n' Monkeez wit' "Attention Disorderz......"Beware")

Keeps Me From Putting the Needle Back on LPs to Re-Learn Songs I've Fogotten How To Play / There's some Fantastic Players Around the World that are Accessible with a Click of a Button!! / @#$% Far Out Man!!!!

Too Damn Old to Haul Marshall Stacks Around These Dayz - Plus, I have Grand Kidz 2 Spoil Rotten!!!!

Formed "SYN" (LewiS-ConleY & JohnsoN) @ J.C. Fremont High School in 73'-74' Playing "Band o' Gypsys" and Isley Bro's covers / By 1983 Lost Our First Drummer to Drugs, Our 2nd Drummer to Drugs and My Favorite Bass Player to Groupies and Drugs / As for Myself, I Don't Do Drugs but That "Nappie Dug-Out" dropped a Few Space Babies and I Have Been "AWOL" from the Musiq Scene till Last Year / Now I'm Getting My Chopz Back Together Again Bit by Bit, Note by Note, Lick by Lick / Eventually I am Goin' 2 Check in on My Ol' Band Mates for One Last Groove Into The Sunset....

2010 Update:

Got the fellaz back together for a couple of "36 Years Reunion" jamz in late October & early December - We had a ball in front of the old "Reggie Andrews" Band and "Music Experience Club" friends & family.....

Of course sometimes, people & the bad decisions they've made haven't changed even after all these many years and inspite of their God given talents....they still "Don't Get It"

So with much regret and soul searching the "Y & N" of SYN have "retired" from the band we founded (once again) to pursue a more "positive musical experience" with the short time we have left on this planet.....

Special thanx to Bob / Cleon / BlewFoot & Karen P for making rehearsal #5 a 2nd Cummin' of "Long Beach in 1975"

"Love U Like a Brother Shez but U need 2 Wake da' F@#% Up Maaaaaaaaaaan!!!"

What'z Wrong with Putting Jimi'z "Machine GuN" rifts in Marvin Gaye'z "What's Goin' On" or a Latin Groove to "Mary Had a Little Lamb"??? - Pat Travers n' Leslie West can Get "Superstition" Too....
