Producer Paul Sabu joins Secretz in Producing an EP with lots of interest from film makers to use songs in a movie similar to Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Results...... a great recording but...... the film deal did not materialize, just as the video for one of the songs produced by MTV did not.   Next? an album recorded by  Legendary English producer Geoff Workman (23 Platiinum credits) at the infamous Cherokee studios in Hollywood (exec. prod. Darrahl  Foley).  Another great recording but, through the use of one of Hollywoods infamous Entertainment Lawyers this too would never be released.  IN 1989 Secretz did hear  4 of their songs on the big screen in the production of "Fast Food" starring Jim Varney and Tracey Lords.  This movie is shown Internationally to this day on HBO, Showtime, TMC, and. It's on "On Demand."

Billboard on the side of "the Roxy" Sunset Strip
Sometime between Stars N Bars and Powerline I was recruited to do a CD with the "Riff Rockers"  called "Pop's Got the Blues."  The band made up largely of  members from Legs Diamond / Roger Romeo and Jeff Poole.

Keeping the South alive while out in Hollywood!

in the end, Stars n Bars went 3 piece and changed the name (to be more politically correct ) to POWERLINE.       And.........on the way had an original tune placed on Compilation #4 "Best Unsigned L.A. Bands" CD on Rock City Records.  And, were fortunate enough to have MTV's Series "Live Through This" producers ask if they could use this same song "What You Give To Me" in espisode #11 of their series.  NEXT........... Well, after an attempt to move the band to Atlanta, it ended up only my moving.  I've kept the name going in Atlanta with 2 of the finest musicians I've had the opportunity to play with.....Tony Langham and Johnny Long.  Check them out on the Powerline Global website (Link below)

The link above is to my business.  This keeps me out of trouble.  If you have a Piano.....I should be your tuner.  I've tuned for some of the best.  Check out my site above.
Me and some of my buddies were in a made for Playboy movie called "Forbidden Highway" staring Kira Reed.  We've got our Harley's in it, and of course the bar room brawl was fun.  Check it out, or even buy a copy at this link.
