I met Stan (like many of my favourite people on this planet) because of a certain producer named Raine Maida. Raine had already called Randy Cooke and Joe Karnes in to do the session and while recording, we started talking about getting a harmonica player for a couple tracks. Joe recommended Stan, and the rest is history. <\/p>\n<p>Stan grew up in New York and has played with the likes of Willie Dixon, Canned Heat, Ruth Brown&#8230;he&#8217;s even on a Four Tops record! You can also hear him in the T.V. show &#8220;My Name Is Earl&#8221; (among others). Stan is a supremely talented multi-instrumentalist and we had a blast walking around (and over) the canals of Venice while catching up (the guy has a million amazing stories&#8230;and such a sweet man).<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I wrapped up the last of the electric guitars for the firs batch of Billy and the Lost Boys tunes. I finally owned up to the fact that, left to my own devices, I will take all day to get ONE guitar sound. So, we asked a friend to come in and help for a few hours. Being on the clock and having a little input turned out to be exactly what I needed. I finished everything in about 6 hours and then it was off to see Anvil: The Movie followed by a very special performance by Anvil: The Band! (followed by Tofu Scramble at Swinger&#8217;s Restaurant. Yum.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Little Known Fact Day 12:<\/b> I have been listening to nothing but Ryan Adams records for two months straight<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_R8UxchXVROI\/SiWpnBmJz3I\/AAAAAAAAADg\/QFK2ZQsAiT8\/s1600-h\/DSC00128.JPG\" class=\"pretty_image\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[3642]\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_R8UxchXVROI\/SiWpnBmJz3I\/AAAAAAAAADg\/QFK2ZQsAiT8\/s320\/DSC00128.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342863020853415794\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I went to Venice Beach for the first time.
