October 11th 2017 - Update from Reb
Hi everyone. I am sitting in the studio in Reno listening to the new Whitesnake music.
It’s very exciting to be working so closely with David Coverdale on this one. We have written some songs together that are turning out to be very strong. He really knows what he wants, and we work really well together. He liked my stuff, so that s a load off my shoulders. It would be a drag if he didn’t like my ideas!
I leave on Wednesday to go to Japan for the day. Winger is playing the Loudpark festival there. I made the reservation to leave from Pittsburgh months ago and I can’t change it, so I have to fly to Pittsburgh from Reno to catch the Japan flight, which comes back this way. In other words, it is going to be a very long day and night!!!!! Japan is probably my favorite place to go, so I hate to only stay for a day, but you can be assured that I will hit yami chen, the greatest chicken wings and beer of all time.
“So Reb, how is the friggin instrumental record you have been saying is almost done for 7 years coming along?” you ask? It’s almost done. Hahahaha! No seriously, we are mixing, and I plan to have it out in the spring. Me, Phillip Bynoe on bass, Paul Brown on keyboards, and Dave Throckmorton on drums. We recorded it an old church in Pittsburgh. I imagine if you like my fusion demos, you will like this. Just to hear Throck play Black Magic is enough for me! Haha! The drum machine on the original is horrid, and of course Throck kills it.
So, between Winger gigs and finishing the two albums I’m working on, I am definitely staying busy! I think with the solo album I will re-tool the website and start selling t-shirts and other stuff. I hope you all are well.
Take care,
 Reb
