Hi Les,

Say, thanks for the Joni Mitchell note....I think she is doing well....at least that is what I heard from David Crosby yesterday.

Also, THANKS for the nice review of the "live" version of my old blues/hippie anthem, "I'm The Ice Cream Man". It was recorded "live" at the infamous Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City back on 9/11/1971.
The recording was not the best, but pretty good...lots of interference from a radio station antenna 200 years away from the club and the recording board was a bit squirrely..... but it is a fun song and very popular "Back Then"......although, today, it would be considered as "politically incorrect". Is this world screwed up or what? This was actually a song I wrote back in 1963 when I was a busboy in an ice cream shop in the center of town. I was 13....and would play on Sunday to the ice cream crowd....then go clean the tables. No rest for the weary. It was a simple blues song.....that morphed when the late 60's came along and I was touring, I added the spicy and fun talking blues part about a "street corner ice cream salesman"....who sold ice cream and MORE.

Anyway, glad you liked the song. It comes from the only "live" show that made it through the years and the CD is entitled, "Black & White".

This and all my albums are available at Broadjam.

Best to you,

Chet Nichols

Actually, Tom Waitts heard the song and jammed with me on it back in the 60's. And being who he is/was, he was "inspired" to write HIS version of the song. He surely wasn't writing blues songs when HE was 13.

Hey Les, I almost forgot..... I recently did a "Studio Version" of, "I'm The Ice Cream Man", which I think you'll enjoy. It comes from my 2014 classic-rock album, "Band IN The Basement"..... I KNOW you'll like this 60's inspired album and the new version of the song.

Thanks, Les.

In light of the recent passing of Robin Williams, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and other gifted artists ... I'd like to suggest you stop by and listen to one of my new songs, "The Needle In His Arm".

It was inspired by others, too, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger and so many others who toyed with drugs and flew way too close to the flame.

Thanks Les! I wish the music supervisors thought like you do... Yes sometimes we find a particularly special sound when song writing, this was the case on "Falling Deeper". Yes we captured a pretty chill vibe on that one, thanks again for being moved enough to write to me, your encouraging words are very much appreciated. Dave



Hi Dave, Thanks for thoughtful review on 'Deep Blue Sea', I was told if you're going to program drums you have to think like one and what he would do in certain parts of the song ie verlocity's/feel. Im using Groove agent 3 now, helps heeps, alternatively get a live drummer, Are you available ?? :), Good to catch up, Take Care, Les

Hi Les, You're very welcome for the review. Yes using programs such as Groove Agent is a great way to achieve more realistic drum tracks and is way better than programming the old fashioned way with drum machines. Use whatever is at your disposal to get good tracks... which does include me if desired. Yes I can do nice drum tracks from my home studio (all set up for just that) and charge my bj family the bare minimum. Best of luck to you my friend. Dave - CenterPeace

Hi Les,
I Have a Girlfriend is a beta version. It will most likely be re-visited in the foreseeable future. I often put tunes with which I experiment on BROADJAM to get a better feel for them. It can get expensive...but "WHAT PRICE GLORY?" Thank you for your input and insightful review...and of course..it's nice to know you liked the tune:-)

Hey Les,

Thanks for the review!
If you check some of our other
music out, you'll find tht we have
a bit of a different style as we
attempt to circumnavigate about
6 different genre's...I wouldn't
have it any other way!
We just may be showing up on
your doorstep...well, not exactly.
Seriously considering a move to
NZ...I'd like to spend some time
travelling around to the schools
and speaking as an OLD American
jazz musician to the kids about the
history of our music! Do you think
that might be something the kids
enjoy?

Take Care!

I don't believe its taking me a week to retrieve my messages!
Thanks for the compliment and words of encouragement about migrating to NZ...recently (?) many Americans awoken to discover that the 'American Dream' was actually a nightmare! Things have become deplorable here! Very sad to witness a beautiful country such as the US is, be assailed by a bunch of thugs...but, that's what's happened...so, we need to find a new home...besides the multi-genre writing, arranging and producing that my family and I do, I've always keenly delved into the historical part of American jazz history...for a very small
fee I'd be willing to travel round New Zealand and even Austrailia to all of the schools that I can reach and by virtue of an excellent youtube file that someone put together for me, illustrate to the kids how this jazz thing
came together and who, over its approximate 100 year history, the movers and shakers were!
I have an outgoing personality, and I'm quite graphic and animated as a person..and don't forget the American accent....what do you think? Any ideas come to mind?

Cheers!
