It's amazing how much music those guys actually did and never really got the credit they deserved.

I looked at Tommy Tedesco's sheets and saw that he played on the BatMan theme and the show..... then just by coincidence, my wife, who is the TV watcher and channel surfer in this house, just happened to flip into the BATMAN show from the 60's and we watched the show.... I was listening to the music..... and when the credits rolled..... you guessed it, no credits to the musicians who played the music.


A side bar to the Tedesco story.... One day, here in Wilson NC, I went into the place where I was getting my hair cut at the time and like so many times before, got a brand new hair stylist. She looked kind of emo.... typical stereotype Goth.... black fingernails, dark lipstick..... black clothes....

So as she starts to work on my hair, I strike up a conversation and said "So... you ain't from around these parts are you?"
Her: nope... I'm passing through and needed some money
Me: So where are you from?
Her: LA

I had noticed her license on the wall and of course her name on the license....

Me: I see your name is Tedesco ..... I'm wondering if you know anybody by the name of Tommy out there in LA?
Her: Oh yeah, that's my crazy Uncle Tommy.... he's pretty cool actually but the rest of the family thinks he's crazy...

We had a really cool conversation about LA, music, and her guitar virtuoso Uncle Tommy. By the time I returned to get my hair cut the next time.....she had moved on.

You can find my music at:

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
