This page offers links to the websites of some of my friends and fellow musicians I have worked with and have had
"the pleasure" to personally know over the years.
All of the back catalog of Black Top Recordings of Mike Morgan and The Crawl featuring Lee McBee are available through Mike's website and here is the address:
Autobiography of a Yogi
The Complete Online Edition -
Paramahansa Yogananda's 1946 Spiritual Masterpiece.
The Science of Self Realization and Meditation is a major vital part of my life and this work is my literary most influential inspiration next to "The Good Book" and my main Hero "Big Daddy Jeez." It is not a Religion but is a way of life and I want to share it with you as those with eyes can truely see.
Several of Yogananda's students included George Harrison & Elvis Presley and as the spiritual aspect of Elvis used to say about this book..."it's there to make you think."
Lee does not as yet have a website set up BUT through this website at www.patrickrecob.com you can keep up with Lee's current activity until that time happens. There is always questions as to "how can I buy Lee McBee's music?"
so
Here are the links to order Lee McBee CD's:

This is my buddy (and former Commanding Officer) Gary Primich's Official Website. Gary has been more than a great influence in my world as a musician and is one of THE most respected Blues musicians in the world today. This is fact.
Not only has he been one of the most influential people in my life musically, he is one of my most dearest and cherished friends and his friendship has not been taken for granted. I can't say enough about him although he'd be the first say -
"Reeeecob....Enough!"
John JUKE Logan

Anybody that knows this cat will tell you that he is truely one of the hippest people any person would ever have the priviledge to know (this is the same individual who did the legendary intro to the live Icepick James & The Boys CD "Strictly Live in '85 - The JAAAAAAMES HARMAN Band" as it wreaks Juke coolness all over it!)
Juke is one of my most valuable heros and I love this cat with my heart and soul! His song writing is prolofic and so hip that it can even cool down hell!
He is the man! Juke also owns MOCOMBO RECORDS and this link serves as the Official Website for that label. Playing Bass behind Juke as part of Gary's Band for the several tours I did with him is a cherished honor.
Mike Morgan & The Crawl's Official Website
Mike Morgan is one of my most influential heros in Blues music. His album "Mighty Fine Dancin'" was one of 3 contemporary Blues records of that day that solidified my love for Texas Blues. Lee McBee was the original recorded front man for The Crawl and my love for Mike & Lee's music has landed me my current position within LEE McBEE & THE CONFESSORS in Kansas City, Missouri.
Many thanks go to Mike for helping me along over the last 15 years in many ways musically. Every one of his Bass players have been big influences and good friends!
Johnny Moeller's Official Website
Johnny is pure bred bad ass and is one of the most requested and respected guitarists in today's world of Blues Music. He plays it real, rich and has soul.
I became friends with Johnny when he was 19 and playing guitar for another hero and good friend Darrell Nulisch. Johnny helped send me on my way as a National Act bassist by recommending me to Gary.
Memo Gonzalez & The Bluescasters Official Website
(FUMPFF!!)
Memo...my brother and frequent roommate on the '95 European Tour package! He moved to Germany years ago from Dallas and has hit it big in the world of Euro Blues and is loved dearly! His European band THE BLUESCASTERS are some of the most bluesiest musicians I have ever heard anywhere.

Preston Hubbard -
The Bass Master!...El Guero Loco Prez!...
Preston Hubbard's Website -
(The Official Website of the Legendary Bassist of The Fabulous Thunderbirds/Roomful Of Blues and many modern day great bands!)
As Bassist with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, it was then that in conjunction with Keith Ferguson & Tommy Shannon that it was my life's calling to play Blues Bass after hearing this great Bassist. Preston has always been cool to me and is one of the most influential real Bass players of all times. This guy is one of THE most special people walking the planet today.
Steve Guyger's Official Website
Steve is one of my favorite Harmonica performers and most authentic Bluesmen on the scene today.
JOHN RABBIT BUNDRICK's Official Website
John Bundrick is one of the most incredible talents my ears has ever heard in any style of music! Rab has been a tremendous personal inspiration to me musically and also became a friend to me in the process. His playing has been recorded worldwide with many well known musicians including Paul Rodgers & Free and although a true legend in his own right, he has been known worldwide as keyboardist for THE WHO the last 26 years but more specifically, was a key and vital part of the ISLAND RECORDS houseband in the 1970's that helped to fundamentally formulate the Reggae Movement sound. It was Rab who played the brilliant keyboards on the reverential and landmark recording of "CATCH A FIRE" by Bob Marley and The Wailers and single handedly created that trademark clavinet sound so copied in Reggae today.
Kurt Crandall -

Kurt has been a longtime close friend and musical collegue of mine that is starting to make a name on his own. We played in The Recob-Bourne Band & The Mistreaters together and is now living in Chicago playing with many of that areas finest musicians. He has reunited with my former partner Mike Bourne and have formed Kurt Crandall & True Story
The ACOUSTIC SOUL STRING SHOP in Wamego, Kansas is owned and operated by Julie and Kurt Morrow. There is no weblink available as they don't have a website yet but the contact info is here. Kurt is a seasoned String Bassist who personally understudied with the legendary RAY BROWN firsthand. Kurt not only knows what makes up a top of the line String Bass, but he also knows how to properly repair and restore it to give the instrument its highest potential. This comes in addition to repairing all other stringed instruments so for those of you looking for a String Bass look no further. If you live out of town....it doesn't matter.... if you have a String Bass and need repair on it....again, look no further. The customer service and output that Julie and Kurt embody is impeccable and they will certainly make your quest and journey a smooth one until you have your Bass in hand or repaired. Rarely have I EVER found a dealer and their store to be both of the highest quality. These people are high quality professionals and I refuse to allow anyone else to work on my Bass. So, here are a few photos of their Shop. If you overlook them you shall find a lifetime of regret as they have a great shop, great product and they are great people! They have recently began dealing in art of selling fine & uniquely desirable vintage Basses & Guitars.
