Professionally trained piano technician can bring your Fender Rhodes, or other electric keyboard back to life.

Repairs of broken keys, replacement of broken tines and action parts, replacement of damper felts and straps....you name it, I can restore it for you!

Keyboard rejuvenation includes: rebushing keys, replacement of worn and/or moth-eaten keyframe felts and cloth, levelling the keyboard and setting the key-dip. I also do electronic repairs and upgrades to help your Rhodes reach its fullest tone potential.

I can rid the keyboard of the squeaks and knocks which accumulate over the years, and give the piano a solid tuning and voicing, to restore that classic Rhodes tone which made this instrument universally famous. There are action and keyboard upgrades available, to lighten and accurize the touch of your Rhodes' keyboard.

Pickup coil re-winding, electronic repairs and upgrades, and pre-amp installations on your keyboard are available to expand the instrument's signal capabilities.

Same goes for Wurlitzer, Yahmaha and Clavinova!

Does your new or older guitar leave something to be desired, action-wise?

Perhaps you have an older cherished guitar, which you would like to have restored/refurbished?

Most guitars, new or old, high-end or inexpensive, can benefit from a thorough fine-adjustment of the action and intonation. Let me bring your axe to its finest level of performance; pamper your musicianship with a properly set up musician's tool....your guitar!

Acoustic or electric, six-string or bass, any guitar can be made to play better and sound better than it currently does.

I do high-end, precision setups, setting the foundation for your instrument to produce it's best tone and lowest action. This I accomplish by removing the factors which inhibit tone. For example, I specialize in custom corrective woodworking, neck re-sets and custom fretwork.

I also do other corrective woodworking repairs, such as re-gluing loose or broken top and back braces, re-mounting pickguards, and other needed repairs, including general restoration and refurbishing of older instruments.

Another valuable offering is the aftermarket compensated nut system, available for most electric and acoustic guitars, which minimizes the inherent tuning discrepancies between first-position chords and chords higher up on the neck.

My electronic repairs and upgrades can enhance and optimize your electric guitar's signal, also. Perhaps you would like to have a high-quality pickup system installed on your acoustic guitar, or maybe an on-board distortion circuit install on your guitar's tone control.

I also offer pickup coil repair and re-winding; I can overwind your guitar's pickups to hot-rod them, or bring a dead pickup back to life. Don't replace that vintage pickup....have it re-wound instead!

Treat yourself to a precision action set-up today!

Reasonable, competitive rates, 17 years guitarmaking and set-up experience.

Can you name the top ten best Auld Lang Syne downloads & download recordings?
Thousands of artists have performed or released renditions of the New Year’s Eve staple Auld Lang Syne. Here are the Top 10 Best Auld Lang Syne recordings & downloads of all time. Most downloads pale in comparison to these gems:

1. Auld Lang Syne: Scott West & Sex On Sunday (November 2006)
Featuring Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon and Sex On Sunday’s Scott West, this version of Auld Lang Syne begins with West’s dynamic piano and strings swelling into Hannon’s searing guitar work. West’s arrangement deserves top honors for its beautiful textures, riveting crescendos, fueled by the magnificently fresh power and tone of Hannon’s burning fret work. This warm arrangement brings an edgy, contemporary vibe to the song, making it the best recording of this holiday classic and most popular Myspace Auld Lang Syne download.

2. Auld Lang Syne: Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians (Dec. 1947)
Decades of New Year’s radio and television broadcasts popularized Guy Lombardo’s big band arrangement of Auld Lang Syne. Lombardo has two well-known renditions of the song. The most recent was released in 1947 by Decca Records and is the best big band recording. Lombardo's name is synonymous with New Year's Eve and he is often billed as "the only Canadian to have popularized an American tradition" and as "the sweetest sound this side of heaven." ITunes.com

3. Auld Lang Syne: Kenneth McKellar (1995)
McKellar’s smooth glistening voice and the orchestral arrangement make this the standout operatic version of Auld Lang Syne. It features excellent recording quality with stunning vocals and arrangement. This is my favorite Auld Lang syne download with vocals.http://www.maybole.org/community/celebrations/christmas/greetings/AuldLangSyne2.mp3

4. Same Old Lang Syne: Dan Fogelberg (1981)
Fogelberg’s Same Old Lang Syne is not the traditional version, but it ends with a beautiful saxophone solo of the traditional melody. This song features a compelling modern day story about meeting one’s old lover in a grocery store. Over the years, it has become a holiday radio and download favorite. ITunes.com

5. Auld Lang Syne: Bing Crosby (1949)
How can you not love the smooth, melodic voice of one of the all-time greatest crooners singing one of the world’s most famous songs? There’s a reason Crosby got a Grammy award for singing holiday music in 1947. His buttery voice melts through every word and note. ITunes.com

6. Auld Lang Syne: Ronnie Browne (1999)
Linn Records recording of Auld Lang Syne by Ronnie Brown is the best Scot-influenced interpretation. This recording is part of a collection of songs written by Scottish poet Robert Burns that was produced by Dr. Fred Freeman. This simple arrangement showcases The Corries famous lead singer and the traditional Scottish arrangement of the holiday classic.

7. Auld Lang Syne: The Beach Boys (1965)
The Beach Boys included a harmonized a-capella version of Auld Lang Syne on their 1965 Christmas album. This version has more appeal than the band’s other version with the voice over that buries those amazing Beach Boy harmonies. This is a great a-capella recording. ITunes.com

8. Auld Lang Syne: Kenny G (2002)
Kenny G’s millennium mix includes an audio collage of historic political and entertainment tidbits from the 20th Century. Walter Afanasieff co-produced this recording and Dave Foxx & Lou Simon produced and arranged the audio collage portion, which is historic and remarkable. Kenny G's Auld Lang Syne download should be part of your holiday music collection.

9. Auld Lang Syne: Jimi Hendrix (Recorded LIVE December 31, 1969)
The recording quality of this version does not measured up to Hendrix’ legendary oeuvre or his other famous performances. Recorded at the opening of Hendrix’ second set at the Fillmore East on December 31, 1969 to January 1, 1970, this version does not reach Hendrix’ dynamic “Star Spangled Banner” in intensity, dynamics or recording quality, but is still a noteworthy rendition.

10. Auld Lang Syne: The Highland Pipers (1998)
This sweet, instrumental recording features a soft Scottish flute playing the melody line, not bagpipes. This is the most laid back of the top ten and is well suited for a romantic-candle-lit New Years evening for two. It is the last track on the Highland Pipers “Highland Christmas: Carols For Scottish Bagpipes.”

SAY HELLO TO THE SOUNDS OF 2008
"If you think hearing "Auld Lang Syne" on New Year's is bound to be ho-hum, you're humming the wrong tune. On the Web, you can find a myriad of exciting alternative renditions for the stroke-of-midnight classic, including the riveting arrangement by Scott West and Sex On Sunday featuring poignant piano and soaring electric guitars..."

Press Release:

ANNAMERCURY

Marinated together in early 2009 as the 5 member band like blending choice seasoned spices in a culinary treasure to create rock music for the world. Although, initially each member helms from different corners of the west region of the United States. They met and formed the band while living in Seattle, WA after a consistent time of artistically crossing paths. The underlining unspoken message the men want to say with their music is: “From the basement, to all the listening and visual audiences everywhere this is for you”.

“AM” (AnnAMercury) is comprised of Brady singing lead vocals, Jeff playing drums, Robin strumming the bass, with guitars being laced by both Pete and Ryan. All five share a mutual inner passion for music and a quiet determination to be as good as they possibly can be. The music that the band chooses to create is original in nature with a savory rock-n-roll flavor. And each member contributes by drawing on their own musical backgrounds in a combination of ways to make the songs happen.

After only seven months in the making the band is currently working on finishing its first songs to be recorded as an EP late summer in the legendary London Bridge Studio. Also, be sure to look for the band to begin their live public performances this coming November 2009 with much fanfare debut.

EP release date is scheduled for November 15th 2009...You don't want to miss it! Checkout and follow the band at: (www.myspace.com/annamercurylive) & (www.reverbnation.com/annamercury)

Thank you,
ANNAMERCURY

Have you ever considered having a custom hand-made guitar made just for you?

A custom, hand-made instrument offers you, the musician, your very own, one-of-a-kind instrumental voice, unlike any other guitar. Each of my hand-made guitars is a complete original piece, made from scratch from raw lumber, using a minimum of machine work and mostly hand labor.

All aspects of my guitar construction process are accomplished by hand; from the cutting of the parts to the fine fitting, carving and shaping, to the precision crystal-clear gloss finishing. I select only the most musical and the most beautiful tonewoods from which to make my guitars, the result being an instrument which sings powerfully and is visually striking.

A handmade guitar speaks with a voice which is quickly recognizable as unique, balanced, intriguing and different from any factory-made instrument.

Your guitar will be made to fit your hands, your playing style(s) and your musical tastes.

I am going to keep this short. I had an idea and feel it is very helpful to artists out there that have great material and want to hear it with a band sound and produced with creativity.

I work as a lead producer in charge of product development for an upscale production company that charges a lot of money (5-15k per track) and have cut dozens of records and hundreds of demos with great successes. Lately the company has me helping artists out that I don't think are all that gifted. I am feeling like a slut.

I want to take my gear and talents and help out a few artists that have great material and want the drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals, programming....all the goodies, to sound professional, done rapidly and fine tuned for shopping or for whatever you want them for. I have all the technology we need and even real humans. I have travelling gear & am willing to come to you.

Send me links to your music. I will take a listen and pick what works best for me. It is only fair that your producer love your material.

I look forward to hearing from those who are serious and are confident they possess the talent it takes to become someone outrageous.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE.
