My life is a whirlwind! [but I love it]
Gosh,
since our latest spate of hit albums I am leading a crazy life. Country
hopping and really enjoying it.
See
the pic. At http://www.makehits.com/oneminarchive281008
to see one of the great surviving music management legends. He discovered
so many mega artists … Van Morrison, The Dubliners, my band the Bachelors … he
‘invented’ many major Irish world stars like Bridie Gallagher and Ruby Murray
[she had five records in the top ten at one time!].
I was in Belfast helping Philip present his
latest Art Exhibition.
He
made Pam Ayres the highest paid and biggest selling poet in the world.
He
also created Major Minor Records … had loads of hits and created more
hilarious Music Industry stories [Margaret Brace: “You do realise Mr Solomon that you DO
have to the artists royalties?”]. Philip Solomon was right in
there with the ‘heavy mob’ … Don Arden, Brian
Epstein, Andrew Logue Oldham, Maurice
King, The Grade Organisation, … he was a major shareholder in Decca Records and
also co-owned Radio Caroline with my band.
Radio
Caroline changed the face of the Pop Industry in the UK and Ireland …. Forever.

A typical ‘Philip’ story [the stories of Philip’s escapades are
legendary]
The
one about Them (with Van Morrison)...known as The Story of Them's Money.
They
were at No. 1 with "Here Comes The Night"...
They
were doing two, three maybe four gigs a night up and down the motorway...
One
day an exhausted Them rolled into Phil's office in New Oxford Street
stammering, out of breath, apologetic for interrupting Phil...
"What
ya want?"
"We
want s-s-s-s-ome m-m-m-oney, please M-M-M-Mr S-s-s-s-olomon...
"What
you want money for?"
"We-we-we
worked, M-m-mr S-s-solomon"
"Work,
work that's your Agent...go see your Agent, I'm your Manager...don't waste my time..."
"S-s-s-so
so-o-o-r-y M-m-mr S-s-s-olomon."
Off
the members of Them trudged from New Oxford Street on foot (holes in their
shoes) - they didn't have a penny -the whole length of Oxford Street to the
basement offices of their Agent in Stratford Place, near Bond Street (opposite
Polydor)...yes Maurice King!
They
went through the whole procedure again for an even more curt Maurice!
"Money,
money...what do you want money for..."
"We
w-w-w-orked, M.-m-m-mr K-k-k-king."
"Work,
work, where did you work?" (Pressing the intercom: "Drew, Drew
(Harvey)...bring in Them's date-sheet."
"We
w-w-w-orked l-l-l-ast n-n-n-night in Su-su-sund...Sunderland M-m-mr
K-k-king"
"Sunderland,
Sunderland, you say?" (surreptitiously holding the date-sheet close to his
chest) Sunderland you say...you stupid idiots, you were supposed to be in
Southampton!!!
Get
out!"
S-s-s-sorry
M-m-m-r K-k-k-ing"
It
is rumoured that is why Van eventually left...

good to be true, then it probably is"

Hutchin's
Brian Jones Signature guitar heads to the U.S [ a piece of history
available?]
Hutchins Guitars signature remake of
Brian Jones' Vox Mark III his heading to the United States. A very authentic
looking recreation of the quirky guitar played by the tragic Brian Jones who
played all those years ago with the Stones and died in mysterious circumstances
… could you look good playing this?

forever, but you can be immature for the rest of your life"
FAMILY [ do you ever stop
to think?]
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we
are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the
rest of their lives.

Systec Designs
introduces stageClix [at last a tiny and trustworthy stage bass transmitter]
Systec Designs has introduced stageClix, a digital wireless bass
instrument transmitter/receiver. A natty little unit …. The transmitter
is enclosed in the jack plug that goes in the instrument [easy to switch to a
different bass guitar if you require].
All the components are small… the jack transmitter recharges by
plugging into the receiver … charges in 3 hours.

Testimonials
Uncle
Dec,
Good
morning. I want to thank you very much for everything you have done for me and
also your support through the years.
I
appreciate everything...I mean everything and I'd love to make you proud some
day...this I will.
Regards,'KK' [Nigeria]

Subscriber's Section [ strange
deal? ]
“Uncle Dec,
Good day to you and
how are you doing...it's been quite a while and I must say I have really missed
you...I guess this puts a smile on your face...I want to believe that, that
true smile will come when I make you proud with my first $1 million and most
importantly my happiness as a successful 'hit-maker'...but I must confess that
I am not finding it easy at all...an analogy will be.."whenever I try to
pull the post at my left close to me, there seems to be someone or something
pushing the right one away from me"...I am not pushing the blame on anyone
else...but myself and myself alone...I am to bear my burden..
...thank you very
much...
Apart from just
sending my regards, I am also writing you this mail in respect to the Marshall
JMP-1. I downloaded a copy of the manual from the website and glanced thru' the
pages and I still don't know what it does...is it supposed to be guitar tone
generator like the Alesis D4 that simply generates tones/samples for drums...is
it a dedicated guitar sampler...I mean what does it do...
Will like to read
from you soon...
Regards,
'KK [Nigeria]'”

Hi KK
It is interesting in the UK at the moment.
A music maker from South Africa is in the chart here with 'Township
Funk' .... so proving that it is possible to have success no matter where in
the world you are based.
The JMP1 is a dedicated guitar pre-amp .... meaning that it amplifies a
guitar signal [which is normally very low from the guitar pick up] up to a
usable level for an amplifier or studio mixing desk, computer etc.
It has valves built in to emulate the sound of the great Marshall
Amplifiers. It also has 30 presets to emulate the exact sounds of many of
the great Marshall amps through the years.
There are also user patches which a JMP1 owner can adjust himself ...
there are two types of clean signal, two types of overload....then bass,
middle, treble and presence controls ... these settings can be stored for
future use. A Midi foot pedal can be used [as I do] so the various
patches can be selected quickly while playing on stage [for instance].
It is massively powerful and useful for a guitar player in live and
studio situations .... I can bring it to my studio and use it straight into the
computer .... getting exactly the sounds I want ... then I can bring it on
stage and get exactly the same sounds.
On stage I use the JMP with a Digitech 256 Effects unit and a
Valvestate 2000 amplifier driving a 4 X 12 Marshall speaker cabinet. All
controlled by a Behringer Midi foot pedal [that controls the effects and the
JMP1 unit].

The gags: ..... [ A
statue? ]
The 4th Affair
A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front
door.
'Hurry,' she said, 'stand in the corner.'
She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder. 'Don't
move until I tell you,' she said, 'pretend you're a statue.'
'What's this?' the husband inquired as he entered the room.
'Oh it's a statue,' she replied, 'the Smiths bought one and I liked it so I got
one for us, too.'
No more was said, not even when they went to bed. Around 2 AM the husband
got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer.
'Here,' he said to the statue, ‘have this. I
stood like that for two days at the Smiths and nobody offered me a damned
thing.'
