In the year 2010-2010.

So we are already in the middle of January but i still recall
the last days of 2009.

I spent Christmas Eve playing at BBKING`s,
my favorite blues club in the city, right here in my famous neighborhood
Times Square!

20 minutes long waiting list for a table, the place was crowded
with tourists from around the globe.

It was such a fun night to remember.

I sold so many Transbluescds too, which is always a good thing!

Sunday January 3nd i was playing the same room again
but with a vastly different crowd,many New Yorkers this time
and many friends too.

Actually my dear friend Helen shot some fun videos that she put up
on the U-Tube .

Check out the slow blues "Who`s loving you tonight",
one song i`ve heard a long time ago in an acoustic version
by Buddy Guy and Junior Wells,
but this is my electric version of the song.
Hope you`ll enjoy it.
Happy New Year!

Friday nIght.

Friday night i was invited to the Waterfront Ale House
where my friends The Black Coffee Blues Band was performing.

It was a very beautiful warm Indian Summer night
so Kathleen and I holding hands walked for half an hour
to the corner of 30th st. and 2nd ave, Waterfront`s
Manhattan location.

We arrived there at 11:30 pm, just in time before the kitchen closes at 12:00
and ordered dinner while the band was setting up.

Our friend Jill who lives close by joined us soon.

They started playing by the time we finished eating and we were ready to rock.

The band was smoking in a non smoking environment and everyone soon started dancing.

Mr. Big Ed Sullivan on lead guitar and vocals
was mesmerizing the audience with some crazy sliding, using ketchup bottles,
beer bottles and whatever else was available to nail those high pitched notes.

Galea on the bass and vocals,
was fun to watch and steady as a rock, and Dimitri Archip
was doing a great job on rhythm guitar and vocals.

We had so much fun listening and dancing to the originals and cover tunes
these guys were playing,when Dimitri announced my name and invited me
to the stage giving me his guitar to play.

On my second song Ed offered me his guitar and we changed positions,
he on the left me on the right of the stage and we continued playing
together till their brake.

By then it was 1:30 am and it was time to head home,
after a wonderful time of music,food and drinks.

Rock on!

Crashocasters and Lucille`s.

Saturday i had a very busy teaching schedule.

Came back home at around five, late afternoon and i had made plans
to meet Chris and other guitar lovers and collectors at
John "Crash" Matos
Crashocasters opening at The Showroom
in East Village.

It was pouring rain when i entered the Showroom at 7:15 and i stayed there
admiring these beautiful instruments till around 8:00.

Sunday night i was playing at BBKING`S-LUCILLE`S
and when i got there i found out that i was competing against the Yankees play-off game, which was broadcasting on the screen behind me.

I managed to get a good crowd despite the major traffic delays caused by the game.

Special thanks to all my friends and students who showed up supporting live music and SOUKIS.
See you all again soon.

Robin Trower Live!

Friday night we went to see
Robin Trower
at BBKING`s.

He came up on stage at 8:45 and he played till 10:30.

His sound was superb, as one can only expect from a sonic architect as himself
and the band was tight and sounded great.

I have been a huge Robin Trower fan ever since his second album
"Bridge of Sighs" came out in 1974 and i own almost all of his records.

First time i saw him was at Tramps on my first visit to N.Y.C.
in 1997 when he gave me one of his picks, autographed his album
"Someday Blues" for me,took some pics together,
and i gave him my Greek album "Fota tou Iliggou".

Thursday night another big influence of mine
Mr.Johnny Winter played the same room
but i was too busy recording and couldn`t make it.

You win some, you lose some so they say and ain`t that the truth!

Thursday night.

Thursday night i knew i had to go out.

After riding my bike and doing the 3 mile run in Central Park
i was ready for a drink and some good music provided by my friends,
right here in my neighborhood in Times Square

At 8:30 i walked on 46th st. west, crossed 8th ave. and entered Don`t tell mama
where Mike Torres was doing an acoustic solo performance.

It was funny being on the inside looking out at the street i walk almost everyday,
the famous Restaurant Row
sipping on a glass of Jack Daniel`s on the rocks
and listening to Mike playing all these beautiful songs and sounding great.

Later on i passed by BBKING`s to check out my friend
Nikki Armstong and the boys,
and to a totally different scene where people were dancing and grooving to the band`s funky rhythms.

I was invited to play but i was not in the mood.
I just wanted to see and hear all these fabulous musicians laying it down.

Jason Green on the guitar was doing a great job as always.

Came back home at around midnight took out my Guild acoustic
and started singing and playing old and new tunes that came to mind.

A week in NYC.

Monday night at BBKING`s was a blast.

Many people came by, listened, danced, and friends musicians sat in with the band.

Tourists from Norway and Greece
gave me the chance to practice my Swedish and chat in my mother tongue.

Wednesday night i had an invitation to see Mr. Robben Ford at the big room.

Great show and at the end i spotted some familiar faces of other musicians in the first raw.

Steve Lucather, Johnny A and Oz Noy were all there.

Thursday night i won the "King of the Blues" prelims at Manhattan`s Guitar Center and that was great.
I am looking forward to the store finals on September 10th.

Saturday night i went to Mehanata where Magges were playing traditional Greek tunes,
and later on to The National Underground
where my friend Tom Papadatos was playing the drums.

What a week.
Lots of fun meeting friends listening and playing music.
That`s what New York City is about.

Glenn Hughes at John Varvatos club.

Sunday night, in a middle of a thunderstorm, i took the F Train
to Bowery 315 where the old CBGB`S, now
John Varvatos is located, to a privately
held performance by the legendary ex Deep Purple
bassist-vocalist Mr. Glenn Hughes and his band.

They took the stage at 9:00 pm and played for almost two hours
including the two encores.

I have no idea why but i spent the last month listening to three albums
from the vast Deep Purple catalog that i really like.

"Come and taste the band" "Stormbringer" and "Burn"
featuring two different guitar players, but the same bass player and vocalist,
Mr.Glenn Hughes who adds this funky character to the mix that makes the difference.

Tommy Bolin plays guitar on "Come and taste the band"
and Ritchie Blackmore on "Stormbringer"and "Burn".

Two different guitar players with a very distinctive voice.

But boy i didn`t have any idea what a range Glenn`s Voice has.

It certainly covers three octaves and oh so many nuances it is almost unbelievable.

They played their hearts out and i spent the night grooving, dancing
and singing ,aiming on these high notes on "Mistreated" and "Burn",
among other goodies, side by side with a huge Rock fan himself
Mr.John Varvatos.

I left the place sometime before midnight and headed back
to my neighborhood Times Square and to
BBKING`s-Lucille`s where my friend
Nikki Armstong was playing and hung out with the band
for the rest of their show.

I came back home and continued working on my new yet untitled song.

What a night!

March Birthdays.

Well as they say in Greece, Kalo Mina,
which means "Good Month".

This month celebrates the birthdays of many musicians.

Starting with Lou Reed`s
and the late Rory Gallagher`s birthdays today Monday March 2nd.

On Thursday the 5th it`s John Frusciante`s birthday
followed by David Gilmour`s on Friday March 6th.

Then on Monday March 9th it`s Robin Trower`s birthday
and on Sunday March 15th it`s Ry Cooder`s birthday,
followed by Jimmie Vaughan`s on Friday March 20th
followed by Steven Tyler`s on Thursday March 26th
and at the end of the month on Monday March 30th we celebrate Mr.Slowhand`s Eric Clapton`s birthday.

At 2.30 this afternoon i am meeting with my student,
friend Chris and we are going to test the two David Gilmour`s black
Fender Custom Shop Tribute Series
signature guitars, and later i am planning on playing Eric Clapton`s
Blackie one of the 285 instruments meticulously crafted replicas,
all owned by Chris who is a collector of the finest guitars ever made.

I am gonna be in heaven!

Blow by Blow.

Jeff Beck`s 1975 album "Blow by Blow"
changed the musical landscape of the era and the new term "Jazz-Rock"
was introduced to the musical library.

It was also the last album where Jeff played this oxblood Les Paul
before he finally switched to the mighty Strat
for "Wired", his next offering of the same year.

Last week i`ve got the chance to play his signature Les Paul series model #2.

Jeff kept #1 to himself of course.

It is an amazing instrument which when plugged into
a Marshall handwired 2061X
becomes every guitar lover`s wet dream come true.

We spent one hour jamming on the tune "`Cause we ended as lovers"
and it was not hard to get the creamy sound Jeff has on this track.

I am privileged to have a student and a friend who has a great guitar collection,
and every time we meet i get to play another fantastic guitar.

Now i wonder if that`s the same guitar he used when he was recording "Truth".

Another classic album and a must have for every guitarist.

This album together with John Mayall`s
and the Bluesbreakers "Beano" featuring Eric Clapton,
"A Hard Road" featuring Peter Green
"Tons of Sobs" by Free and Led Zeppelin `s first album
are essential for every Blues-Rock guitar player to own and study.

Mesa Boogie studio 22 and Fender Deluxe reverb.

Finally my two beloved amps arrived from Greece.

I shipped them at the end of September when i was in Athens
and they finally reached New York by the end of 2008.

It is a thrill to play with my Mesa Boogie and my
Fender Deluxe Reverb again.

They both sound awesome.

I bought my Fender in 1984 when i was living in Stockholm.

Although i love the sound of a vintage Marshall,
when i was testing amps for smaller clubs and studio work,
the combos that i`ve tried sounded kind of boxy to me,
while the then new blackface Fender deluxe combo delivered a wider sound
with much more headroom so i bought one and i still love it.

When i was living in Athens in the 90`s i met this guy
who was Mesa Boogie`s dealer and i got hooked to the sound
of a Mesa Boogie studio 22 so i bought it and i ended up using it
on all of the songs on my 1996 release "Fota Tou Ilggou"

When i was visiting Greece i did talk to different moving companies but i was not satisfied
with what they had to offer so i was postponing the move for years.

Then last summer a friend here mentioned Hercules
and this is the company i finally used and they delivered the goods.

All of my fragile stuff arrived in perfect condition and now i am a happy man.

John Varvatos Bowery.

Thursday night i was invited to John Varvatos Bowery
to check out a group called The Lufthansa Heist.

It`s always fun to be there, wandering around the same space where music history was written
sometime ago when the place was named CBGB.

John Varvatos has been true to the tradition and has restored the place in a brilliant way
that resembles all the past glory but armed and ready to write it`s own new history.

First time i was there i was amazed by all the memorabilia on the walls
as well as the beautiful clothes fit to dress any new aspired Rock`n Rollers
and yet trademark of the older glamorous and successful.

I was into John Varvatos clothes design even before i visited his Bowery
store and had the chance to see, touch and feel the glory first hand
and now i am saving money to buy whatever i can afford to.

It was his Greek name that drew my attention at first
then i found out that he was born and raised in Detroit,
Michigan where my wife is from
and that contributed to my curiosity to find out more about him.

Then of course his Manhattan store
was my highest motivation of visiting and rediscovering old glories.

When you are there you feel the vibes of the place and that might have been
the reason why yesterday on my visit to the Public Library,
i took out The Best of Blondie and
Marquee Moon

From Lucille`s to the Yard.

Friday night i went to Lucille`s
where Nikki Armstrong was playing
and celebrating her birthday.

The band was cooking
with Jason Green on guitar
Rob Chaseman on sax
and it`s always fun to listen and watch
all these very talented musicians who were there
taking the stage making music and improvising.

Dave Fields played two songs he wrote
for her new upcoming studio album,
we did a slow blues together
and later while i was singing one of my songs,
i heard someone applauding me in Greek.

When i finished my set i met with this Greek guy at the bar
who was so thrilled to discover BBKING`s, the band and Me.
After talking with him a while he could not believe
i was the same person who had played with
Paulos Sidiropoulos
(The main riff of the song in this video was written by me and i also play the lead"
but by the time they videotaped it i was living in Sweden),
and recorded one of his favorite songs "I magissa tis Arapias".

I always meet interesting people there i must admit!

Monday night i went to see and jam with my friends
at Scotland Yard in Hoboken.

Big Ed Sullivan was hosting the jam
and when i walked in Arthur Neilson
was on bass and later played some amazing guitar too.

There were so many good players there as always
and i hung with Mike Torres
while talking to Christine Santelli behind the bar,
and later to Poppa Chubby and his wife Galea.

I left around midnight and i was so inspired i stayed up till the wee hours of the morning playing my
Strat.

Thursday night at Moma.

Wednesday night my student Craig brought me three
Bruce Springsteen CD`s.

The previous week he saw "The Boss" twice in concert and he was still grooving.

The 1984 "Born in the U.S.A" brings back memories from
Sweden where i was living at the time,
and the Greek Islands
where i was spenting my holidays.

Last night my wife Kathleen was teaching her meditation class
at home so i took a walk up 6th ave. to 53th st. and to
The Museum of Modern Art, where they have a "Live Music Program"
called Dali:Imagined Musical Lanscapes.

In an Attempt to describe the musical context in which Dali and his art existed and evolved,
musicians will interpret different aspects of the artist`s imagined musical landscape
every Thursday in July and August.

It is an experience like no other to sit at Moma`a garden surrounded by all these
modern age sculpture masterpieces and listening to
Pamelia Kurstin doing her own interpretation with her Theremin Solo""

Playing at BBKNGS.

Last Tuesday i played at BBKING`s.

This is definitely my favorite room in N.Y.C
and the more i play there the better it feels.

First of all playing in a room that bears BBKing`s
name is a thrill on to itself.

The man is a living legend and has influenced every
blues guitar player on the planet.

Lately i`ve been listening to Fleetwood Mac`s
"Blues Jam in Chicago Vol.2" where Peter Green
pays homage to B.B.King and it`s so inspiring.

I like the sound i get from the P.A. and the room,
i like the people who work there, i like the food,
the service and i always manage to have such
a fun night being able to see lots of my friends and students
who are always eager to come and see me when i play there
along with so many tourists form all over the globe.


Located on 42nd st. bet/7th and 8th ave in the heart of
Times Square it is so easy
to get to because all trains stop there.

You don`t have to think about parking or drinking because
a ride on a fully air conditioned subway car will safely get you there.

For me it is really a blessing because i live right here
at the heart of the city and although
i have to walk through millions of tourists
i can get there in five minutes.

So next time i am playing at Lucille`s come and see me,
speak to me and introduce yourself.

I will be more than happy to meet you.

Back in the studio.

I`ve started recording songs for my new album.

I use the same studio at Greenpoint
where i recorded half of my latest cd "Transblues".

I like the sound of that studio and the fact that
i can still record mostly analog.

This time my friend Bruce Gordon is not only engineering
the project but he plays the bass too.

The two new songs i completed yesterday are called
"Urban Embrace" and "She feels so Good".

By completed i mean that i recorded the vocals and i will now have to remix them.

But remixing is something i like doing so it`s gonna be fun!

Although the Fender Bassman reissue is not my ideal
amp for these two songs and i had to fight it to assimilate
the sound i had in my head the somewhat compromise
brought up some interesting results i was happy to hear
yesterday.

For the sessions i`ve used my early 70`s Fender Strat
and my early 90`s Blade.

For stompboxes i`ve used my modified
Ibanez Tubescreamer TS10
my Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face
and my Dyna Comp compressor.

The drums Tom Papadatos played
are Ludwig and they sound warm
and huge reminding me of John Bonham`s sound
on Led Zeppelin`s second album.

The lyrics for the first song "Urban Embrace"
were written by my wife Kathleen Cromwell
and they reflect life in my neighborhood Times Square.

"She feels so good" was written by me and
it reflects the triumph of Love over Time.

NYPL.

The New York Public Library is one of the
best things i have encountered since i moved to NYC in 2003.

It has been a constant source of inspiration and a great place
to spent time reading and borrowing CDS,Videos and DVDS.

Whenever i feel uninspired i go to the library and borrow
CDS to listen to.

Recently the Performing Arts Library Records Collection
at Lincoln Center Plaza
has been my new discovery since i have found there
an amazing CD Collection that would satisfy
my constant hunger and curiosity for new music.

I was sad that i left all my precious vinyl collction in Athens
but i cant` be that anymore since everytime i go there i discover
more of my old records and i get inspired by new.

I could not beleive it when i saw The Original Fleetwood Mac
there, a record that has been a major influence to me
and one of the reasons i started playing guitar,
remastered plus four bonus tracks.

Savoy Brown`s "Looking In" album
was another one i really liked listening to when i was growing up
and now i could enjoy it again remastered and without the scratches.

On my latest visit i borrowed the following albums that are now
constantly spinning on my CD player.

The J.Geils Band
Small Faces,
Roy Buchanan "Deluxe edition"
Big Bill Morganfield "Rising Son"
John McLaughlin "Thieves and Poets"
Freddie Hubbard "Red Clay"
Miles Davis "Sorcerer"
Stan Getz "The Best of Two Worlds featuring Joao Gilberto"
Grant Green "Ain`t it Funky Now!"
Herbie Hancock "Perfect Machine"

Allan Holdsworth.

Saturday night was a foggy one here in Manhattan.

I had reserved two tickets for the evening`s second show
at Iridium and i was so excited
to see and hear one of the most amazing guitar players
in recent history Mr.Allan Holdsworth.

First and last time i saw him live it was two years ago
when he was giving a guitar seminar at Manny`s.

But i first heard his guitar sound and amazing playing
way back in 1973 when i bought the first and only recording
by a group called Tempest
where he was recruited by ex Colosseum
drummer Mr. Jon Hiseman for his Cream-clone project.


Later on the same year i`ve got me a Soft Machine
recording titled "Bundles"
where his concept was fully formulated
and even got better on the 1975 Tony Williams Lifetime
first release "Beleive it"

I was thrilled to hear him play "Fred" from that album.

His playing on violinist Jean-Luc Ponty`s 1976 release
"Enigmatic Ocean" still sounds so fresh and so musical as it did
when i first heard the album and i love it.

Holdsworth`s concept continued to expand on the now-classic
release "Road Games" from 1983 and on 1985`s "Metal Fatigue".

Allan Holdworth`s sound is unique and instantly recognizable.
It has a violin like quality combined with oboe and saxophone
and his legato technique is legendary and highly imitated.

After the show i bought his latest release "Wardenclyffe Tower"
where his playing is even better than ever and a pure joy
to listen to.

You`ve got to check him out!

Blues Detour.

It was three months ago when i`ve got a friend request
on my Soukis space page,
from Blues Detour.

This guy John was taking a new direction
by starting a website Blues Detour
dedicated to blues fans and blues musicians.

A place where Blues musicians could sell their music
and Blues fans could find new music to buy
and new bands to check out.

I liked the idea and we bacame buddies on my space
while waiting for the new website to materialize.

Two months later John proudly announced the website`s launch
and asked me to send him my "Transblues" CD to sell.

Since i was still recovering from my ordeal
with another company K.T.Recortz
and a scumbag,crook and a thief company owner Jim Dill
i was sceptical to get involved into something new again
but after some serious thought and because i liked
the work he was doing and the musicians he was aproaching
i finally went for it and sent him my cd to put it on the shelves
and sell it.

In times like this, when cd sales have dropped considerably
and the big companies are suffering big losts,
we indie musicians are in need of online cites
like this to help us promote and sell our music.

So let`s keep our fingers crossed that more and more
blues lovers will find their way to Blues Detour
knowing that by buying our cds they help
blues music to gain popularity and blues musicians
to make a living playing the music they love.

Jon Paris and friends.

Monday nights at Lucille`s
you can see and hear a great guitar-bass-harmonica player-
singer songwriter Mr.Jon Paris.

And every Monday is a jam party going on there
where you can meet the who`s who of the blues
and rock New York society and many great players
from across the country.

And it`s not the usual kind of jam wher you go
sign your name and wait for your turn to play.

You have to know Mr.Paris or he has to know you
for to let you go up there and take his place and play his guitar.

The first time i saw Jon was in 1985 when i was living in
Stockholm.

He was playing bass guitar for Johny Winter`s
power trio.

Of course i had no idea that we`ll meet much later
in N.Y.C. and play together,
but that`s the beauty of it.

Life surpises you.

Everytime i go there i meet other local musicians i know
and then always someone new.

So the other night another great guitar player
came by with his guitar and played with the band
Mr.Chris Carter.

I hadn`t seen him for a while but i knew from my days
at "Ye Olde Tripple Inn" where he used to play with
Cracked Ice.

Then Jon invited on the stage a singer and they did
some old Free
and Led Zeppelin numbers.

When he came down we introduced ourselves and he told me
that he will soon perform at BBKINGS
with his band Cactus.

His name is Jimmy Kunes and he is the singer of the band.

When Jon asked me to join the band
and he offered me his Strat to play
we were both in shuffle mood so we did "Before you Accuse me"
and a Peter Green song
from his early Fleetwood mac days
called "Long Grey Mare" that Jon has covered
on a Peter Green tribute album titled "Rattlesnake Shake"
where he sings and plays harmonica together with
Mr.Harvey Mandel on the guitar.

That was a fun night out.

JIM DILL.(A CROOK AND A THIEF)

In May i submitted my SonicbidsE.P.K.
to a new indie label from Chebanse named
K.T. Recordz for to be considered on their roster expansion.

I paid $5 for the submission fee and half an hour later
i got a responce from the company`s owner Jim Dill
that he wanted my instrumental song "Kathleen"
for the upcoming compilation "Guitars of Tomorrow Vol.1".

Of course i was flattered and happy for his offer
so i said YES and paid the additional $5 fee for the song.

That`s when my troubles started!

He sent me the contract asking my permission for the song
and after i agreed with the terms and i signed it i sent it back to him.

Later on in May 2007 i was also accepted on the company`s
roster expansion which meant promotion,booking gigs,
arranging interviews and i was thrilled and excited.

I presented the new contract papers to my lawyer,paid his fee,
and after we both agreed that they were legitimate
i signed the papers and sent 10 cds,10 promo pictures,
1 dvd of a live performance, and two more cds with interviews
and live performances at radio stations
to the company`s owner Jim Dill.

While excanging e-mails with him i`ve discovered that the man
was complete illiterate, and after mentioning my worrying
to be represented by a total moron and illiterate dude was not
what i had in mind for my promotion, he reasured me that his
wife Lynn Dill was a writer
and that she was going to take care of all the serious
press releases and announcments and i was naive enough
to accept that that will be the case.

Ten days after he received everything i sent him,
and in the middle of September 2007, he sent a mass e-mail
announcing that K.T.Recordz was bought by other investors
and because he didn`t agree with their new policies
he is leaving the company and his dreams of the compiilation
and artists promotion behind for a while till he could be able
to finance and start a new one under the name "NUBLUERECORDS".

Meanwhile he was still collecting submission fees,
K.T.Recordz
as this document proves, till the middle of November!

I then contacted him noumerous times asking him to return
all of my material that by now he was illegally holding,
and after i finally got him on the phone in November
he lied to me that his "secretary" had sent everything back
to me and that was the last i`ve heard from him.

After that i contacted many frustrated musicians that
were on the compilation,who had never heard back from him either,
but through my investigation i found out that his main
artist Jimmy Warren was the one and same person as Jim Dill (every picture tells a story)
and that the whole scam of him collecting all these fees
from musicians around the globe was to promote Himself
and his "Music" by receiving songs from other artists
and making some serious bucks from stealing their money
and their intellectual property.

I also found out that the guy was a total LOOSER
with NO MONEY of his own to start a business
and totaly uncapable of promoting his artists
as his adds for financial aid posted in July of 2007
prove,Jim Dill!

I wonder and fear if mine and other musicians songs
have made it to illegally selling compilations around the globe.

Be alert and be aware of THIEFS=JIM DILL-LIERS-CROOKS like JIM DILL.
