Voormann.

We are all sharing this wonderful Holiday season as expressed by songwriter/marketing guru and workshop attendee, Amy Duckett
Wagner.
There’s a light in the window
To welcome the travelers home
The seasons are turning, our
candles are burning
Let’s take this light and pass it on…

who attended our last workshop are unbelievable!”
Comment(s)
from the last Workshop
I would LOVE to be part of the collective. Tom Yates
I
enjoyed the dual guitar work at the end. I think you and I could do some of
that very nicely. I admire the clarity of the elements in the sound space.
Especially the way the bass has a beefy, distinct sound.

It
was great meeting and really enjoyed hanging out afterward. And thanks
for your compliments. I’ve been away from music, my real passion, for a
long time, and just started playing .
The perils of selling your soul to capitalism I guess. Amy has
been a great networking source, especially since I’m sort of a new resident and
don’t know a lot of people here. It’s a very vibrant scene, the trick is
meeting folks with common interests.

I feel compelled to record this song with My MOTHER and DAUGHTER.... through
you, because you said you were interested in substance. ..... We have
multiple instrumentation, though not especially proficient. ..I'm
feeling a strong connection to my Irish and Hillbilly roots. ... I know I sound
nuts. ...all I can say is I've learned to trust my intuitIon. ..is this
something you are interested in?

“Music for Conscious Change”
Lon Van Eaton has recorded with artists around the world including: George Harrison, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Carly Simon, Ben Vereen, Dr. John and Harry Nilsson. He produced recordings as diverse as “EarthBeat” with Stevie Wonder for Ted Turner’s CNN environmental program and with classical conductor Zubin Mehta at the Kennedy Center, in D.C. and Lincoln Center in NY.
Lon’s philosophy of learning skills, then moving forward into new challenging areas has expanded his experiences and laid the groundwork for his new Musix System.
Lon refers to himself as lucky. I think a lot of this luck is believing in yourself. At what point did Lon "discover" his luck--was it Berklee Conservatory, was it in London? Is it karmic or is it nurturing the mind to appropriately take on risks and adeptly handle the challenges? Posted by Paul Petersky
Calling All Bucks County Musicians, Writers, Music Lovers
Our workshops are Creative Musical Recording sessions that take place in the company’s new studio in a 1749 stone School House on Holicong. Every workshop is tailored to suit individual needs and desires in 4 weekly sessions. You, the group and Lon create and complete work, learning specific creative techniques, like some the Beatles used. Bring a song, an idea, your instrument or just remember what you hummed in the shower!
Lon says:
“It’s magic! A song/production/record grows from a blank page. Listen to the
track on the website where I nicked some bits from John. Thoughts are things
right? What you think comes true? We love to explore all levels of the wonder of it all!”
