This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

BIOGRAPHY:

Bob Welch was a fantastic guitarist. He was born Robert Lawrence Welch Jr on August 31st, 1945 in Los Angeles, California, USA.


SEVEN SOULS


Bob Welch joined LA band Seven Souls in 1964 (really?), but I haven´t details about their lineup(s) with him, except for one:

SEVEN SOULS #?

Bob Welch
guitar
Henry Thompson
bass
Bobby Hunt
keyboards
Tony Lytle
trombone
Henry Moore
sax
Fred Murphy
drums

I think Bob plays in their single from 1967, ´I´m no stranger / I still love you´, but I´m not sure. Does anybody know? There´s also an album by the band, but I haven´t it, so can´t confirm if Bob appears there.

Seven Souls also backed The Rainbows in some of their singles, but again, can´t find or confirm this info.

Other info on members of Seven Souls (I know up to 14 members)
To be covered (4): Bobby Hunt, Tony Maiden, David T Walker, Bobby Watson


HEAD WEST


Head West was formed by Bob Welch around 1969:

FLEETWOOD MAC


This was the new lineup for Fleetwood Mac in 1971, with newcomer Bob Welch replacing Jeremy Spencer and Christine McVie joined the band as a full member:

But Dave Walker didn´t fit in the band, so after recording an album, Penguin, he left in June 1973, thus the band coming back to the usual quintet format.

BOB WELCH BAND


And then, Bob started his solo career in 1977, initially with great success, helped by his past bandmates of Fleetwood Mac.

I still have to find more info about the live lineups of Bob Welch Band. Can someone help me, please?

AVENUE M


Around 1989, Bob Welch teamed with the band Avenue M for gigs, also releasing one song together:

AVENUE M #?
1989-91
Bob Welch
guitar, vocals
+ others unknown to me. Help!

They played on and off until 1991, with different musicians.


I was shocked when I read that Bob Welch commited suicide with a gunshot on June 7th, 2012 in Antioch, Tennessee. He was 66. He will be very missed. Rest in peace, Bob.

I first saw Bob when I looked at an old Fleetwood Mac concert on TV. They were the quartet lineup with Bob Welch. I was stunned as how fantastic he played (and sang) Peter Green´s penned ´Oh Well´. I became a fan, and I bought some of his solo vinyls when I found them.

George Marino (engineer)


BANDS:

BIOGRAPHY:

I haven´t been able to find biographical data about George Marino, born in 1947, except for the sad appearance in the news as a result of him passing away due to lung cancer on June 4th, 2012.

George Marino started as a guitarist, but moved to work in studio in 1967, at Capitol Studios in New York. Then, he moved to Record Plant, and then, in 1973, to Sterling Sound, all legendary places for people who, like me, usually reads all the credits in albums.

He has won 3 Grammy awards (the more recent one was given for his work at mastering Arcade Fire´s Suburbs). He must have worked in more than 2000 albums, so this page is just a starting point for George´s career.

NOTE: This is my first page about an engineer in the 15 years I´ve been writing my website, even though they´re equally credited in my pages as musicians. But their lifes are not so ´public´, it´s difficult to find biographical information, you usually don´t see their photos in rock magazines, and besides, they haven´t a rock family tree to display, so I just can stick to show part of their endless discography. Anyway, they are also a very important part in music, so here I am.
