Paralounge #12 was relocated to a cool campground outside of Mayo, Fl- River Rondezvous. Secluded grooves in the woods on the Suwannee river. Pretty neat stuff. The groups were about three to four dozen for my workshops. Lots of healing drums, that didn’t quite get recorded. But this Saturday group was great. This is pretty good so if you want a full length 2 hour DVD. Let me know. buddy@buddyhelm.com.
Just coming across Tampa Bay after teaching a seminar on the Music Biz at International Academy of Design and Technology, Roy Drikow’s class of genius music students. Jacques Rene decided to show me a cool out of the way restaurant on Lake Tarpon. The gull was a happy accident. A resident gator came up close to the pier. Lunchtime!
Here is a groovey djembe jam in the night with Cyndy Bailey, Jacques Rene, Buddy Helm. It’s art!
“Dancing on the Titanic” was a favorite song for Rodney Bingenhiemer-the greatest DJ in the L.A. He called me and asked for another fresh CD of the song I wrote quite a few years ago. He played it on KROQ at midnight Sunday night. Just like he did in 1983.
Here is a sample of the song.

Vanderbilt University helped to sponsor the event and attendees received continuing education credits to keep their therapy license current.

Here is a historical piece:
I helped invent MTV back in the dark ages of video. I got a job doing free lance video in an after hours night club on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA back in the early eighties. It was called “At Sunset”. It was right next to the Whiskey Ago-go which was shut down during those years. All kinds of cool people both famous and unknown came in through the back door and I ended up interviewing them because no one else could do it for various reasons…. I cut the segments into half hour shows and aired them in the club. This was before cable took off. Lots of people saw them and gee, I guess they got the idea to make a rock n roll party network. I’ll post the vids next, just to let you know where the real deal originated. It was fun. Too bad I don’t own the rights to the idea….I got a million of ‘em.
Here is our last song from the open mic at Boulevard Music. Check out this venue if you are on the west side of L.A. Boulevard music has rel music and real people.
