My First Guitar

We all remember our first…guitar that is. This is mine — an original 1960s Sears Silvertone, which later became Danelectro, and yes that’s the original case with a small amp built right into it.

FInal Bow for ‘Austin City Limits’ Studio

Here’s something interesting we came across last week.

As this week’s article in the New York Times about the legacy of the famed Electric Ladyland recording studio notes, the success of a recording studio has more to do with the ‘vibe’ than technology, staff or good coffee. Fortunately at Stephen Arnold Music we have all three — especially when it comes to vibes. [...]

“So Do I Need To Tell The Brass Players To Go Home?”

Even the best of recording gear occasionally needs a tune up. After the LCD display on our DM2000 console bit the dust major surgery was required. Fortunately we have some of the best techs in the business. And in case you’re wondering, everything is back up and running.

Big Thang Happenin’

Football is the biggest show in town in New Orleans – their team is #1 this year and there’s a tremendous amount of local pride that comes with that. The New Orleans Saints are having a banner year, closing the NFL regular season with a 13-3 record and a first-round bye. The local affiliate WVUE [...]
