Rehearsing with Dave Davies at the Gibson Showroom (formerly legendary recording studio The Hit Factory) in NYC in 2014.
It was nice being able to walk to our rehearsals in Hell’s Kitchen from where I was staying on the Upper East Side.

I recently found this in my mom’s stuff and had no idea she’d met Mike (McGear) McCartney (I wonder if there’s something I should know.)
If you haven’t heard Mike’s 1974 album “McGear,” I recommend it. It sounds a bit like Roxy Music meets Wings.
