While hosting a syndicated nightly radio show in the mid 1980's it was imperative that I get my facts right. Without the aid of the world wide web Jocks couldn't do it today. I spent hours researching then writing a show that barely lasted 50 minutes. The nightly process was based on staying loyal to Radio listeners and fans of music.
Truth be told...they know and will forever know more about their music than anybody on the Radio.
I forked out a ton of money for thick reference books bleeding from the trees of true Rock.
My favorite was designed by an author that was heavily inspired by the unfaithfulness of musicians. The members of the band that hopped from stage to stage without feeling guilty of leaving behind the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan or Carlos Santana's backup band.
I'm seriously convinced there's no better drama in the world than within the shadows that make up music.
No wonder I'm fired up over a revamped collaboration!
Classic Rock Magazine reports that after more than 40 years of silence Neal Schon and Carlos Santana could be fueling a future project.
“I’ve reconnected with Carlos Santana now and we have been talking about doing something together again,” he told Noise11 (via Vintage Vinyl News). “We’ve talked a lot on the telephone and I hooked up with him before Christmas. You never know what’s going to happen. Life is full of surprises. It’s very exciting.”
Schon got his start in Santana as a 15-year old wunderkind in the Bay Area. He appeared on two of their albums, 1971′s ‘Santana III’ and ‘Caravanserai’ a year later, before he and keyboardist/vocalist Gregg Rolie decided to branch out on their own in 1975. Two years later, Journey released their debut album.
Schon has been busy of late on non-Journey projects. In addition to the potential upcoming work with Carlos Santana, he released a solo instrumental album, ‘The Calling,’ in October. “It has sections that are rockin’ and very electric and then there’s sections that are really deep and bluesy,” he told us on the eve of its release. “But I love the fact that there’s a lot of melody as well, for being an instrumental record.”
