 Mannheimer Park formed in 1990 as a studio project for Michael Parks songwriting efforts. "When Paul came into the studio, we really gelled as a band and we started playing live to larger and larger audiences." -Mike Parks

Here's a track I co-wrote with Jim Mannheimer from the album "Mannheimer Park - Next Exit"
Misty Moonlight

Here are two songs from Liveon Liven.  Liveon is a European Pop singer now residing in the US.  We have just finished recording his first full length CD in English for release in the US and Europe.  I'm currently playing in the live show as well, which also includes two guitars, trumpet, trombone, saxophone, keys, three backing singers, and drums.  Liveon is an entertainer in the style of Tom Jones, and prefers the live show to the studio.   Sparrows Of The World is a ballad about the loss of innocence in the world today. From a bass player's perspective this is a good example of the use of an extended range instrument in a supporting role. The intro features a finger picked melody, the instrumental sections of the verses are two-hand tapped both below and above (but not in) the range of a "regular" bass. And there are even a few spots in there that could be played in a normal fashion on a normal bass.

"Steam", also from Liveon Liven. This song shows the funkier side of the band.

Here's a photo of my band T.C. Blues:

 T.C. Blues is a blues band that has been active in the Northwest for over 12 years. We play down and dirty blues to the rock and roll classics of the '50s and '60s. T.C. can be found playing weekends all over Oregon and Washington, often in conjunction with the auto racing events that spawned the band.

This John Prine classic features Jennifer Major on vocals, and has a touch-style bass solo behind the second (chorus) part of the sax solo. You have to sneak 'em in where you can.
Angel from Montgomery

 Guitar Julie and the Rumblers was the first band I put together after my hand injury.  It started out as a Sunday night open jam in my home studio, and the trio of Julie Uomini on guitar, Ron Wood on drums, and myself on bass soon proved to be a winning combination.  We later added Dan Collins  (of T.C. Blues) on harmonica and Andy Strange (of Screaming Jay Hawkins) on rhythm guitar.  We only recorded one CD (1999), but it's a classic here in the Northwest, and pretty hard to find these days.  Julie and Andy Strange are now married and perform as "The Strangetones".
