Description

Really good hard pop/rock music played by awesome musicians and it's lyrically, really really good!

Notes

Great music performed by great musicians!
Without these musicians, this collection would have never been possible.
Starting with my friend and musical genius: Al Teman… Destined for super stardom. Absolutely one of the best and most creative guitarist/musician/singers to ever pick up a guitar. Infuriating at times, yet he is one of my best friends and top 5 favorite guitarists to have ever picked up a guitar. Currently playing and singing with Leslie Knauer, co-founding member of the band 'Naked Hand Dance'! Google Al Teman. Al has performed or recorded with some of the greatest musicians on the planet. From Duff McKagan of Guns and Roses to Rick Springfield (Jesses Girl). Take a little trip with his history. Al has two younger brothers who also are key to the assembly of this music collection. His brother Howard, the middle child, genius in every sense of the word. Whether he is tattooing at his world famous T-Man Tattoo studio in Studio City, or recording keyboards on a Guns and Roses album, you know he is excelling at both. Total creative genius. Drummer and founding member of Thee Apes with his younger brother Eric, and the aforementioned Al, Howard contributed drums, vocals and creative input on this collection. Google Howard Teman. See him playing drums live for Guns and Roses at the Whisky A Go Go…. Eric Teman bassist, song writing mega talent, vocalist and the baby wonderkind of Thee Apes and the Teman brothers. Without his contributions on this collection and his ability to balance the egos of his eldest brother and I, this collection would be something entirely different. Can't say enough about the genius that is Eric Teman. Google Eric Teman. Search for his song 'Lady', written in loving memory of his Mother Sheila. A magnificent tribute. This original conglomeration, known as Sam Mann and Thee Apes was and is a most vital part of my musical journey. Without this part of my musical past, you would not be reading the following!
"As we grow as musicians so goes the growth of one's musical community." The band Sam Mann and Thee Apes was and still is a musical community of dedicated players recognized all over the world for their musical abilities and creative talents. Sam Mann and Thee Apes many former members are currently playing in or have played in, at least 100+ bands. Recorded on thousands of studio sessions. Myself, Sam Mann, has been in 10 different bands since Sam Mann and Thee Apes.
Let's look at drummer Greg Ginsburg. Hard to miss. He stands 6 feet 10 inches. He is a dynamo. Having played drums on much of this collection is telling statement about his intense musical ability. He is a fantastically nice guy who is now playing in at least 4 bands concurrently. Drummie, as myself and some of his special fans call him, will always be in demand. Even at 6'10' there will never be enough of him to go around. Google Greg Ginsburg.
Let me introduce you, although you may already know him:
Michael Stone, Bass player, vocalist an absolute force of nature. One of the most sought after Bassists working today. Currently playing in so many great bands, such as. 'Kraterface' an awesome to the bone Rock band. 'Budderside' a great Rock band that is part of the Lemmy Kilmister musical family. The G'Moneys one of the best party rock bands of our time. There are more! 'The Stoneman', 'Stone', 'Stoney', fellow Dog Lover, Master Of Ceremonies, New England Patriot, Bass fisherman, Officiate, Loved by many, Ignored by none. Former member of 21 Psyche, R.A.M., and many more. Performed and recorded with so many amazing musicians Bruce Bouillet comes to mind immediately. Stone as I call him, played bass and added backing vocals on much of this collection. Without the creative and endless positive energy provided by Stone, you wouldn't be reading this now. One day during a recording session, I heard Stone playing a great bass riff. I yelled out, 'Stone what is that', he said just a warm up riff. I asked, is that yours? Stone said yep. I said, don't forget that. Thus the foundation for the great song, 'The Sun Comes Up'. Can you dig it! Without Stone, I would have never met the genius that is:
Tim Rossi! Fuck, are you kidding me? Guitar ability that has earned him the name, 'The Freak'. Along with Stone, Tim was responsible for the electric guitar playing and backing vocals on much of this collection. Without his creative input, endless ability, and virtuosic ability, I can't imagine you reading this right now. Such an amazing musician. Also a former member of 21 Psyche, The Broke Americans, R.A.M. and many more! Tim (The Freak) Rossi is a 'Guitar God' in every sense of the words. Currently 'The Freak' is thee Guitar player in the great band 'Blackfoot'. 'Chicken pickn, symphonic, rock guitar playin' Freak Of Nature, that is Tim Rossi'. Google Tim Rossi.
This music conglomerate has no boundaries when it comes to musical genius.
Pharaoh Barrett 'The Pharaoh', 'Pharaoh'…. One of my favorite musicians ever. "No limit to the abilities he possesses".. that is the summary of the genius that is Pharaoh! Pharaoh contributed many of the backing vocals on much of this collection. Just being near him will make you work harder and be a better contributor, no matter the creative environment you are in. Formerly the bassist for The Four Horsemen. Currently the lead singer for Kraterface.. Always on the musical radar!
Also playing bass and singing on parts of this collection Michael Farrell formerly with the singer 'Tiffany'. The band 'Scarlet' and co-conspirator with the amazing singer/guitar player Matt Avery. Google them.
Another amazing talent with guitar playing and vocals was Leroy Miller. Google him. My appreciation and thanks for those I may have forgotten, who may or may not have participated on this collection. Google them.. :)


Music is the greatest force on the planet! Tekla Samara Weber... My undying gratitude to you for insisting I do this!
