In waning years of the 1970s, I took up learning to play bass guitar after having been room mate to a guitar player and composer named Jim Parnell. That led to my attempting to learn to play keyboards, drums, violin, and all the other instruments I turned my hand to since that time. I began by running tape deck and recording Jim as he practiced, that led to experimenting with tape overdubs so that he could play rhythm guitar along with his lead guitar, then gradually to my own efforts to play bass alongside him on his compositions, joining a few "garage" bands later on, and my own explorations in using the home recording studio I gradually built as an instrument in and of itself for some of my solo work. This is the second collection of Jim and I jamming in between our working on his material.

about

Dan L. Hollifield -- Studio-D Athens, Georgia

I just celebrated my 66th birthday in early November of 2023. Music has always been a big part of my life. Radio, school bands, garage bands, computer programs- I've loved it all. I can't remember a time when there wasn't music in my life. Now I'm trying to get it out of my head so other people can hear what I imagine. I hope you like what you hear. I'm having a blast creating it! Thanks! ... more
