About Me |
|
From Peter. Dear friends, I can't express enough my sadness and sense of gaping, plummeting loss at the death of my bandmate, guitar player Richard Mikuls. Richard was a great guitar player, and consummately able singer, songwriter and music producer. More than that, however, Richard was a humorist of the first water, and a warm and open human being to just about all who crossed his path. But most of all, Richard was my dear friend. In a way, he meant more to me than I realized; his passing was a greater shock than I had any thought it might be. All of his friends and family knew Richard had health challenges. The official diagnosis of his death was, I believe, heart failure, tho' surely many aspects of his health issues contributed. So in one way, my sense is one of gratitude that he was as long among us as he was. Richard may well have been listed simply as the guitar player in Shoe Suede Blues, but he was much more than that. I think it's fair to say that he was the other pole of the band, and it was the connection between us that gave the band its soul. Certainly it wouldn't be fair to overlook the contributions of the other members, but somehow it was my connection to Richard that for me gave the band most of its strength and character. The band will go on, surely, but if we are anywhere near as good after Richard's passing as we were with him in it, it will be because the rest of us have learned to listen for and to insist on what's good in music and in a personal presence. This will not be Richard's only legacy; his children and other loved ones will carry a great deal of what he brought to life and left behind. But it will be a massive one for me, and one I will remain grateful for to the end of my conscious days. ____________________________________________________________ ______ Cambria Hotel Available NOW!!!! Get your copy at cdbaby.com Long before Peter Tork became a legendary part of the pre-fab pop-star phenomenon known as the The Monkees, he was a well-respected musician/artist in the burgeoning New York folk and blues scene. Peters talent as a multi-instrumentalist (bass, guitar, keyboard, banjo and french horn) made him much in demand as a sideman/back-up artist. Peter knocked around for several hungry years in the mid-60s, hanging and playing with the likes of such legendary musicians as John Phillips, Steven Stills, Dave Van Ronk, Van Dyke Parks, Arthur Lee, and the list goes on. Then there was that fatal call in June 1965 that would change his life forever. His friend and confidante, Steven Stills, had just auditioned for a new TV show centering on 4 young musicians in a wacky rock band known as "The Monkees". Steven told the producers he knew of a person who really fit the bill. Suffice to say Peter aced the audition and the rest is pop-history. Peter was never satisfied with pre-fab rock fame, and even at the Monkees pop-star heights, never forgot his roots as an artist or a starving musician looking for a gig. He was always out jamming with bands and learning about music that mattered. Even legend, Jimi Hendrix, took Peter under his expansive wing, calling him The most talented Monkee. That is high praise for a musician whose vision of folk-blues refuses to die. Describing Peter's band is like trying to describe immaculate air. Richard Mikuls and Arnold Jacks have played with some of the most influential recording artists of the last 50 years, such as: Ray Charles, BB King, Hank Ballard, Rufus and Chaka Kahn, The Pointer Sisters... you get the idea. With Peters band of seasoned pros, Shoe Suede Blues delivers a heart-felt soulful, unforgettable mixture of their vision of what music and songwriting is all about. Peter Tork and Shoe Suede Blues remind us all that the soul of music lives on. ..
