Rod Richards and I first partnered successfully when I penned the title song lyrics for his album, PANAMA CITY BLUES. Our symbiotic magic persisted, and subsequently the new CD, CHEMICAL INTERACTION was born, blending my words with Rod’s compositional genius. This album showcases Rod’s legendary guitar expertise along with his infinite range of associated talents, including vocalizations.

Because we both love Panama, we’ve included two new tracks about this mystical country we now call home. “UP THE CANAL” is a humorous double entendre song, and “NO MORE MISTY BLUES” showcases the positive wonderments of our adopted country.

CHEMICAL INTERACTION moves along from sexy rock beats, to classic blues, and onto an awesome instrumental piece featuring Rod and his favorite guitar. The final track entitled, DJ, PLEASE PLAY MY LIFE, chronicles Rod’s long and impressive history in the business, ending with a dynamite jam including Juanri Della Togna on bass, and Lilo Sanchez on drums. These two well-known artists augmented both albums producing a flawless blend of musical nirvana.
