I appeared on KGO-AM’s (810) Ronn Owens on Friday Dec. 21, playing two hours of Bay Area music for a show entitled “The Best Music You’ve Never Heard.”

For five years I did the show with Pete Wilson, who died last July, and Ronn wanted to revive it in his honor. It worked. Something was shining down on us. Must have been the oversized image of Wilson’s head they put on his old studio chair.

For two hours we got no turkeys, just really great unsigned bands, including Sherry Austin, Mighty Mike Schermer, Colby Pollard, Lauren and Judge Murphy, the Attila and Dave Project and the Wicked Sons.

You can get the list and links to their sites at www.kgo.com. You’ll be surprised at how much great talent there is in the area, and how many great musicians can’t get signed to major labels anymore.

We’ll do the show again in 2008.

Well, it was close, folks. We entered our version of "Mercy". Congrats to Jennifer Lee. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of submissions, we were honored to be one of the 25 tracks selected for the voting loop today. Thanks KGO!

Weekend Los Gatos rock event helps musician moms realize their dreams.

Lauren Murphy, lead singer of Lansdale Station, http://www.LansdaleStation.com , one of the bands performing at the festival, says she feels honored to be part of an event that is working to support these undervalued societal roles. I have learned it still is very difficult to be a woman in the entertainment business. When I heard of the event, I thought that it's really cool that someone wants to honor not only women in music, but mothers. It's so hard to juggle career and family," Murphy says.

DJ Big D sure has a good ear. He just added "Mercy" by Lauren & Judge Murphy,(Lansdale Station) to his playlist.... This song is written by New Orleans's own Grayson Capps, and to have Big D add this to his show is a great compliment, as he is very familiar w/ the indemic Capps' compositions. Rock on' Big D! Thank you!

Dear friends & family,

It is with great pleasure we announce the addition of Sam Price on bass & Sam Johnston on keys , pedal steel, & harmonica.

Chip Roland is taking some time off , and Lansdale Station wishes this musical brother all the best.

It is our great fortune to be blessed with the addition of the versatile Sam Johnston , who's amazing voice can be heard on pedal steel, keys, harmonica, and upon occasion, accordian. See "BIO" link for Sam's full list of accolades.

Liam Hanrahan is currently involved with Zero and taking some time off of Lansdale Station to explore other musical endeavors.

Before Liam's departure, he recommended New Orleans bassist, Katrina Refugee, Sam Price for the bass chair. This Delta boy's Gumbo of styles and experience is the perfect spice to Judge & Lauren's Bluesiana Rock. Go to the "BIO" link to see his full story.

Hey Ya'll!
Come on down and join us at our new My Space Site.

It is with deep sorrow that I face this new day with out my friend, Vince Welnick. A fabulous pianist, organ player, & incredibly skilled vocalist. This guy made the "Chance in a Million " recording sessions Pro. His fine vocal work on 'Home on the Range' 'Horses' & 'Chance in a Million' gave these songs a special soulfulness. Vince was a very caring , sensative, & kind person, & I count myself lucky to have known & worked w/ him. Our most recent show together was the Chet Helms Memorial in Golden Gate Park. I think we need to rally the troops and do a Memorial to Vince now. The Music Business has lost a special player. Fly on Little Wing.
~peace,
Judge
