Here's a classic photo from the early 1980's of a influential group of Memphis Music 'movers & shakers' gathered at Cotton Row Recording Studio located in the heart of a city known worldwide for its contribution to global music. (L-R) (#1) Niko Lyras, Engineer-Producer-Studio Owner-Recording Artist; (#2) Martha Ellen Maxwell (1928-2014), Exec. Director Memphis & Shelby County Film, Tape & Music Commission, and Former Exec. Director of the Memphis Symphony Orch; (#3) Edwin Hubbard (1935-1997) Performing & Recording Artist-Flutist Extraordinaire; (#4) Danny Jones, Engineer-Producer-well-acknowledged Musician; (#5) Phillip Rauls, owner of Rauls Music-Promoter-Publisher-Executive Producer-Photographer. Please note: If by chance you are not familiar with any of these music business individuals, try Googling their individual names for a wealth of updated information. Whereas at the time, the local newspapers, local magazines and TV media did not bother to acknowledge these individuals for their distinguished accomplishments.

Having departed a hastened lifestye in the record business for over four decades, I wanted to do something different. That's when I became a urban dropout and moved 65 miles Northwest of Seattle into a rural setting. Upon relocation, I reinvented myself and experienced a pleasant transformation. Often I get asked about my background in the music business. For those inquiries please visit my Web Site posted in links section. I enjoy living in The Great Pacific Northwest. You have mountains, ocean, fields and valleys. My residence is located hillside on an island overlooking snow-cap mountains and the ocean. Hobbies include motorcycling on country roads and relaxing at sunset with camera in hand. I'm still a music-bum and a relentless basketball nut. Sometimes back I archived all my photographs and music for reference. After boxing them away for years, I finally retrieved them for curiosity. After blowing off the dust of my treasure chests, I found some very interesting memorabilia. In 2005 we launched this blog while using my own photos & original stories. While building on that success, we now have a new book out titled "The Rock Trenches."
