Feature Story:

Andy Gagliano
We've had quite a few requests for some more beginner oriented material once in awhile so we got our friend Andy Gagliano to give us a hand. He's an independent producer, audio engineer and sound designer for film and television. He's worked with several independent musicians in the studio, covering a huge range of genres from rock to hip-hop, acoustic to orchestral.

This week Andy stopped by to discuss helpful preparations before going into the studio.

[Show #23] Emmy-winner John Davidson - Guitar & Drum Trainer


A few cool news items, PSN correspondent and 5-time Emmy-winner John Davidson, an interview with music software developer Ryan Smith and a few great surprises!


Billy Preston
First, on a sad note, Billy Preston is dead at the age of 60.

He began playing piano while sitting on his mother's lap at age three. He collaborated with some of the greatest names in the music industry, including The Beatles, Sam Cooke, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Clapton, Sammy Davis Jr., Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, George Harrison, The Jackson 5, Quincy Jones, Bob Dylan, and The Rolling Stones. He was the only person to receive a credit on a Beatles single, playing the electric piano on Get Back as part of the rooftop concert. Here are some other quick facts:

  • Billy Preston was the first musical guest on Saturday Night Live in 1975.
  • He recorded the song With You I'm Born Again with Syreeta Wright as Billy Preston and Syreeta, which reached #2 in the UK in 1979.
  • Miles Davis titled a song Billy Preston in his honor.
