My first meeting with DaVinci was almost comical. The occasion was in the West Hollywood Whole Foods supermarket parking lot. I stand 5'8," but the rock n roll gunslinger who'd pulled in next to my motorcycle must have been almost a whole foot (not whole food) taller! To make things even more absurd, I was riding virtually the same "hog," only mine was the bigger brother model to his. Hmh—:) He was dressed to the nines and looked every part the rock 'n roll dude. Tall, super skinny, spiky blond locks, head to foot in black leather with the requisite r 'n r shades. Me; well, imagine a shaven headed techno dude from the UK with requisite hoody, and there ya haves it: Chalk vs Cheese! :)
DaVinci was the complete opposite of his image: a really mellow buddhist. Very gentle & precise in his diction. To cut a long story short, we found a mutual interest: He was a guitarist producer/I was a singer & music producer. We seemed to make a connection and so decided to try out a collaboration together.
In Hollywood there is much schmoozing and often, things do not materialize, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a Reason (music software) track in my email inbox. After a couple of false starts we hit a neat run in pretty catchy pop rock songs. This song was recorded on my second Artie Q cd, but I was never really happy with the beats. So, I recently returned to it to give it a lil bottom end oomph.
Since arriving in LA, I became introduced to Primal Therapy, by a good friend, and fairly much believe if I was to try therapy, this is the road I'd go down. Anyway, I have become much interested in PT, and think that it's founder Dr. Arthur Janov has shared a rocky road with conventional therapy, but resolutely stuck to his guns. Anyway, the subject matter seemed to fit nicely in my collab tune with DaVinci:
Love Now, Love Then, Love Yesterday NICE!
