Friend's Bands and Music Links

These are my very good buds Ron and Kathy. They have been gifted with awesome talent for mellow cocktail Jazz that will just melt you! They have two CDs that are great and you gotta see them live! As I said on their first CD...

Liner Notes:

When I first heard them, these cats were playin' cool and sweet, and the cherry on top was the kitten with the pipes. The songs came at me, slow and delicious. Old songs. Sentimental songs. Love songs sang from the heart to the heart. Songs from the past served up on a tight Jazz platter. Songs thought long dead, kept alive as only Dead Ringer can. I hope you'll love them as much as I do. You can't turn back the clock, but you sure can wind it up again.

— Sam Pawley, Executive Producer

Dead Ringer at JAX Bar and Grill in Glendale.

Matthew Von Doran

Von Doran is an artist with vision and an emerging style that makes him someone to watch. He is clearly his own man; there is no sense of compromise on a recording that is completely engaging, with plenty of melodic hooks, solid grooves and fine playing.

I should kick your @ss!

— Ted Nugent *

Matthew is the only guitar teacher that ever actually taught me anything. His love of what can be pulled out of a simple metal string stretched across some wood shows in both his music, and what he brings out of his students. If you ever have a chance to get lessons from him, pay attention. It's a gift that goes way beyond the few dollars you will pay for it. I have notes and sheets of music from those lessons that I still pore over and pull magic from.

If you ever have the chance to see him live, do it! You won't regret it! His songs played on fretless guitars will bend your mind.

* Yes, Ted actually said this to Matthew's face! Ask him to tell you about it.
