Been "country" for a long time my friend. Just finally rolling up the welcome mat and taking it where I belong, feel more comfortable and where I will get more work.

Bought my first Mooradian double bag from Kevin several years ago. Nice guy. At the time his truck had just been stolen from a gas station and in it was a rare color Sadowsky and a Juzek upright. Maybe some other stuff. I hate a thief!!! Hes a great player!

WOW...That's cool...Do you know where I can find anymore info on him? Only thing I really know about him is that he played on Brad Paisley CD's. I can never find any info are pics of the guy...

What are you looking fro exactly? He isn't a spotlight kind of guy. Very down to earth and humble. Comes in, gives you 100%, very creative and easy to work with.

Brad only uses Kevin on his records. Do a search on ALLMUSIC.COM for him.

I don't think he gets the credit he deserves.

Yeah super cool guy. He got that stolen Sadowsky back, and offered to sell it to me maybe a year ago, but I could barely afford my rent, much less a one-of-a-kind Sadowsky.

The bass he offered to sell you was probably the replacement he bought when the real one was stolen. He had Roger build him a new one after the theft.

Once he got that one back he sold the replacement.

Let me know if you're interested in buying a condo. I finance commercial real estate for a living, and could give you some recommendations.

Not interested in a condo. Wife and three kids. LOL But thanks man.

I think we are going to rent for 6 months to a year before deciding on exactly where we want to live.

I want to be close to the studios but the wife wants to be further out.

I live just south of Nashville. We welcome to the area! Not much of a live scene here, but if you know the right people, there are studio gigs all over. Not much of a place for rock and R&B ( my main styles), but if you are doing any country or contemporary Christian, there is a lot of stuff here.

I just got back a couple of months ago from a country tour and I am already going back on the road again, doing music I like this time! Funny, because the band is a bunch of newbies to the area from LA.

Keep a look out for deals in Antioch, Hendersonville, or Smyrna. They're worth the 10-20min drive at a much lower price to own a house than Nashville.

Which Sadowsky was it? The original that was stolen and later retrieved? Or the replacement for it?

I remember that story well, and from what I recall, the original stolen instrument was a tone monster.

It was the original. Swine sold the replacement.

Omni Sound Studios is my home there. Great studio. I highly recommend them.

I am moving to Nashville in April or May and will be doing a lot there.

To hear the song click on the "Letters From War" link.

I was supposed to move there last year - still depressed since I had to turn the job down...especially when it's 20 degrees where I now sit.....

All the best to you!!! Be sure to check out Savarino's Cucina there!!

Wow - I'm more impressed with the fact you let someone else play bass even though you were producing the track. That is so anti-ego, it should be a lesson to us all.

Thank you but, I find it hard to concentrate on seven different instruments playing if I am one of them. ;)

You have to have some ego to sit in the producers chair and take all the responsibility of how the entire project turns out!

Besides, Kevin is a great bass player; better than I am. Having guys like him on sessions makes my job easier and allows me to focus on capturing what myself and the artist want to hear.
