Great MySpace Links
Here is a quick list of some great MySpace links that I’ve been checking out lately.
- The first one is by long-time ImproveYourMusic.com contributor, Mark Johnson. The link to his page is www.myspace.com/markjohnsonsolo where you can hear some of Marks’ great new original material.
- Next cab off the rank is Sydney Guitarist, Peter Pik.
Peter was featured in our first ever podcast. His Myspace page can be found at www.myspace.com/petepik - Last but by no means least is the page for the re-release of the classic Australian album, Goldrush-Live at last. From the site:
“In 1983 “Goldrush-Live at last” was released on an unsuspecting public. It was different from everything else that was out there at the time. It was predominantly Country rock/Bluegrass in it’s feel, but the band featured some of Australia’s most outstanding musical talent. Phil Emmanuel: Electric guitars Tommy Emmanuel: Drums Mark Collins: Banjo, Mandolin and guitars Dave Mare: Lead vocals/Accoustic and Electric guitars Chris Haigh: Bass guitar An original track penned by Dave Mare and Dennis James titled, “Keep in touch”, received some limited airplay. But it was live where Goldrush really made it’s mark, with the audience being totally spellbound by the guitar wizardry of Phil Emmanuel, the finger gymnastics of Mark collins, and the novelty of Tommy Emmanuel, now a world class guitarist, playing drums. The album has sat dormant in the vaults of EMI for more than 20 years and now, with the gracious and much appreciated cooperation from EMI Australia, GTM Records has secured the re-release on CD which will be out in early 2007.”
