The Story Behind ‘God Created Rock And Roll’
I will not be delving into my views and beliefs on subjects of religion or politics. That said, you cannot help but have hints of it show up in the music, especially with my roots. This song is autobiographical and mirrors real experiences. When I was born, the first thing my Father said was that [...]
Recording Bad Way – 2
I was still in the recliner, still physically in the exact same place, but mentally in a much better place after writing the lyrics to Bad Way. The power of the mind is amazing, and when determined, the impossible becomes possible. From the moment the lyrics were complete, I couldn’t wait to start recording it. [...]
The Birth of Bad Way – 1
Life is a collection of days, and none of us know the size of our own collection. It is that mystery that should make us find some magic in every day. Some days though, it is difficult to see through personal struggles, the pain of a broken body, heart, and spirit. I have learned that [...]
My two cents
Impressions
"Phenomenal musician, thorough professional and one heck of the nice guy. Happy to have Lonnie lend his writing and performance talents to my projects and look forward to working with him in the future"
- Arun Shenoy, Grammy nominated songwriter and record producer.
"I have worked and played with Lonnie for many years and on many different musical endeavors. Lonnie is very humble and down to earth in his approach. Yet, he brings world class musicianship to every project. He has been like a brother to me, and I would not hesitate to bring him in on a situation, or jump into one of his. He is honest, trustworthy, dependable, talented, and most of all a great guy."

“What I love about Lonnie is his small town ego and his big time talent! When it came to finding music for my nation-wide cooking show, I knew I needed a distinct sound. One of my fans took what I “felt” about Lonnie’s music and put it to words. See what Dave Maves from Phoenix wrote to me about LP: ““The music you choose for your program, I repeat, is superb. As an engineer I can speak about tone (frequency) and timbre (harmonics) and probably write an equation to describe the essence of the music. However, your friend (Lonnie) has taken advantage of the magic of the melody, the memory of it's flow and anticipation of where the music is heading. That cannot be reduced to an equation. You are truly blessed by his gift to your presentation.” (Dave Maves from Phoenix, AZ)”
