Hey everyone! Still working on the site and cultivating my musical interests. Please visit my two sister sites as well: imaginationrecording.com and LessonsWithJack.com. "Imagination Recording" is what I have called my recording studio since I was about 13, nearly 30 years ago. If you are interested in analog recording the way it used to be, also at yesterday's prices, feel free to contact me.  Additional information can be found here.  I am still playing out, occasionally to be found at Tiffany Tavern on Thursday nights with your host, Flex McMahon. There will also be a gig in April at Paradiso in Alexandria, Virgnina with the newly formed band "ActIV." Meanwhile I have a couple of different acts in the studio working on their debut CD's. I have just finished producing a CD for Dave Berry.  Dave's debut CD of Irish Tunes came out in November and can be purchased here.

In other news, I am back to teaching guitar and bass again, mostly because I love watching people learn and contributing to that in some special way. If you would like to take lessons or know someone who might you can find out more information about lessons at LessonsWithJack.com.

Future gigs and studio time will be posted on my schedule

 

That's all for now - hope to see you at my next gig!

can be a worthy example for others to follow."

    Hello Everyone!! I am making some progress in learning how to use this far more difficult website format that Googlepages forced on me about a year ago. So hopefully I will be able to restart my blog, although it won't be as nicely formatted as before because the tools to do that simply aren't here.  Hopefully soon I will be able to embed my caledar so everyone will know when I am performing and where. Ciao! Jack
