Heys Folks,
I need a little help. I own my own project studio and want to move back to Nashville and produce some music. What I need is 1st a place to live and set up. I would like to find a place on the outskirts of town to keep cost down. I would also want to live there as well. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful. Please contact me here and let me know if you know of a place for rent where I would be able to do this. I am not looking to buy a place at this time, just rent. Please read my bio and get a better idea of what I can do and get back with me ASAP.
Thanx

Local musician's forgotten musical gems get second chance





By Don Thrasher


Contributing Writer



Friday, March 20, 2009


Musician Glen "Dole" Shaffer of Springfield has amassed a healthy discography over the years. Sadly, much of this output was released in the 1980s in limited runs on vinyl or cassette and has been out of print for years.
On the up side, Shaffer recently inked a deal with Las Vegas-based Retrospect Records to reissue forgotten musical gems by his former bands Scram, No Reason, The Press and Beards Ghetto.
"I got an e-mail in 2005 from this guy asking about Scram," Shaffer said recently. "He said he owned a record label and was searching the Web, heard the old songs and liked them. I was thrilled and excited, but I was more surprised than anything.
"You get these sites sending you e-mails wanting you to sign up, and the next thing you know you've got yourself into something you're paying for. I was leery so I did some searching and Retrospect is legit. Some of their bands are kind of well-known."
Retrospect Records was founded in 2003 with the mission of reviving lost hard rock albums. The label is home to little-known bands like Atomik Cocktail and Tainted Angel and better known bands like Mariah and Cleveland cult act The Electric Eels.
The first release in Shaffer's deal is the self-titled LP from AOR-hard rock band Scram, which was released on vinyl in 1980. The re-mastered CD version will be out in April. The second reissue, the self-titled 1984 offering from guitar-heavy pop-rockers No Reason, will be released this summer. The CDs from The Press and Beards Ghetto will be out later this year.
"Retrospect Records is bringing back the '80s and the '90s, more of the classic rock sound," Shaffer said. "We go through generation changes, and we've been through the grunge, the rap, the punk or whatever, but good old rock 'n' roll is something that always fills that gap."
Shaffer, a former studio instructor at the International College of Broadcasting, is also a producer. He re-mastered the reissues with Phil Mehaffey at Cyberteknics Creative Studio in Dayton, where he is finishing up the latest albums from local folk duo Frozen Feet and R&B artist Al Holbrook.
"I'm proud of what I've done," Shaffer said. "I'm not rich, but I'm content. I'm able to take care of myself, the phone is still ringing and people are coming to me, so that makes all the difference in the world."

It has finally happened! I have been signed to a label. Not just one album, but four!

And no, one of them is not the TREES.

I have had several offers with that one but I am no longer in the band.

But you will see me on Retrospect Records with most of my previous releases.

SCRAM is already in production as well as THE PRESS and soon to be for sale on CD.

I had the honor of re-mastering the Scram album and it was a thrill to revisted my early work.

THE PRESS is being handled by Jeff Gastineau and I am currently re-mixing NO REASON and BEARDS GHETTO.

Check out retrospectrecords.com to buy CD's

Current mood:  blessed
Category: Life


What is real LOVE? It starts with peace within. We spend to much of our time concerning ourselves with what others think and very little energy working on ourselves. This is the way we actually destroy ourselves. Peace is not stopping a war, it is an emotion we choose from within. We should spend more time changing our own hearts and not judge others. When we change the heart, the mind follows. I don't care how tough you are nor do I care how cool you moght think you are and I could careless how much money you have. You are still searching for unconditional LOVE but IT MUST START WITH YOU!  Learn how to help others, take a good look at someone who may not have life as good as you. Then you just might realize how blessed you really are. And there is a big difference between LOVE and lust. It is human foolish pride that makes it hard to admit that this is the REAL problem with the world.
Do you want REAL LOVE? Start with your heart and put your way of thinking in check, and you just might discover the greatest emotion of all! REAL LOVE!!  Then may we all could sleep better at night!
Dole Shaffer
