| I'm Done! John Latta Tulsa, Oklahoma I started playing drums when I was five. It was 1956 and the beginning of a magical time: Tulsa was on fire, musically. Musicians of all genres worked in T-Town during the last half of the 20th century. Tulsa is still a hot-bed of talent -- musical and otherwise -- and always will be. I retired from drumming in 1990 (after falling in love, getting married and having a daughter) but not before spending 30+ years of playing live and working in the studio with some of the best musicians, voice talent, songwriters, producers and engineers in the world (see the partial list at http://www.johnlatta.net) About two years ago I started writing songs again. In the last year or so I started cutting demos of some of my tunes . . . George Clinton (renowned producer and engineer of Booker T & The MGs, Isaac Hayes, Alabama, Charley Pride, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, KISS, Martina McBride, KT Oslin, Hank Williams Jr, and many others) produced and engineered the demo of "I'm Done!" David Teegarden (see Friends and Links Tab) directed me to Aristar Studios (and Ray Hamilton), where the demos of "Honky-Tonk n'Holler" and "Where'd Ya Get Those Jeans?" were produced. "When The Father's Gone" is being re-written. Look for a new demo of it sometime in April. Springbarrel of Nashville is actively pitching "I'm Done!" / "Where'd Ya Get Those Jeans?" / "Honky-Tonk n'Holler" and "These Good Old Days" through June of 2008. The tabs at my web site (http://www.johnlatta.net) will take you to these songs and a few select other places. The list will change periodically, as more songs are finished and added or when demos are recut or re-written. John's winning song is like Don Henley hanging with JJ Cale. I have a history with Tulsa musicians myself so I proudly pick John as our Sonic Bids Song of the Month. John will be posted at the new and revamped Tennessee Concerts, the sponsor for this competition. Good luck and enjoy the promotion. It don't cost nothing! ;-) Gary Allen (JJ Cale, The Charlie Daniels Band) http://www.johnlatta.net http://www.sonicbids.com/JohnLatta |
