MY ROCKSTAR DREAMS WEBSITE

My name is Shaun Williamson. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have spent the last 25 years working as a professional singer/songwriter.

I’ve created this blog with hopes of it becoming a great source of “NO BS” information and tips to help up-and-coming artists and bands weave their way through the many perils of the music business.

There are a lot of sites out there promising sure-fire ways to be successful, and sorry to say, there is no such way. Everyone’s road is different. All I can do is provide information from my personal experience. I think it will be great to have some of my musician and industry friends submit articles to share some of their expertise as well!

Some of my credits:
BANDS:

• THE ATLANTA RHYTHM SECTION (Lead vocals 1986-1989)
• KING KARMA (Centurion/Universal) (Lead Vocals 2002-current)
• BACKBONE SLIDE (Mausoleum) (1990-1993)
• THE SUNNYLAND BLUESBAND (INAKUSTIC) (1994-2001)

RECORDING PROJECTS:

• Classic MOODY BLUES HITS (Feat. Justin Hayward & Friends)
• JAMES BROWN (The “Keep James outa jail record”..didn’t work)
• Various studio projects including jingles, background vocals, etc..(I can’t remember all of them, so I’m not going to try..haha!)

TELEVISION/FILM:

• VAMPIRE WARS (Sci-Fi-Lionsgate films 2005)

PRODUCERS:

• JIMMY JOHNSON (KING KARMA)
• EDD MILLER (BACKBONE SLIDE)
• BRENDAN O’BRIEN (JAMES BROWN)
• RODNEY MILLS (JAMES BROWN)
• TOMMY NEWTON (THE SUNNYLAND BLUESBAND)
• THOMAS SCHMITT-ZIJIN (THE SUNNYLAND BLUESBAND)

PUBLISHING:

KARMA FARM MUSIC (ASCAP)

Lucy's Medical Update Oct 3rd

Hi Ya'll - Well I was at my heart doctor yesterday and he has been re-arranging my heart meds which

became messed up during my 6 day stay in hosptial for the ovarian cyst.  I also saw my knee surgeon today who was hoping his surgery

that he did on me was well healed, but due to my meds being messed up now need to have  my legs checked for

blood clots. If they appear clear I will start with a new therapist who will give me treatment 3 times weekly.

It's amazing how much happened to me in 6 days without surgery, can you just imagine if the surgery would have taken place what state I would be in.

Other than that all is well and Rob and Samara are helping me full time at home.

I still do my updates as needed. Keeps my mind busy too.

Talk soon. Love to All Lucy

Medical Update. 1st Oct

Hello friends of ARN, I am delighted to be home after spending 6 very long days in hospital

As you know I was due to have surgery for a ovarian cyst on the 28th Sept

On the 24th I had a colonoscopy - during this procedure my cyst ruptured, which sent me directy into the emergency room

For the following days I had treatment for the cyst and was also treated for my  heart condition - Atrial Fibulation  which I am still be treated for, this is something I have had for many years but didnt say anything about,

but the wonderful news is the cyst was benign. !!!

  It will be still some months before I am back to normal but wanted to fill you all in and Thank all of you for your emails and cards you sent,

You sure know how to show your love and support. It really kept me strong,

I will update the site from time to time but still need some time for recovery

Love you all

Bye LUCY

London, UK (September 24, 2007)

 The Soul of Rock

 Paul Rodgers married former Miss Canada, Exercise Physiologist and Artist Cynthia Kereluk

in a surprise outdoor wedding ceremony on their 10th anniversary.  The guests were invited to a garden party at their country home and were informed that the entertainment would begin at 7 pm - at which time it was announced by Paul that the guests were actually attending their wedding.  So, under a rising moonlit sky of shooting stars, in Canada's Okanagan Valley, Rodgers and Kereluk exchanged vows before 70 of their closest friends and family.  The most humorous moment occurred when Cynthia was asked do you take this man to be your husband and she responded with, "Absolutely!" and then added, "I do."

"There is magic on earth." said Paul

Paul's Debut Solo DVD "Live in Glasgow" is currently #3 on the US Charts, #1 in Canada and hit #4 in the UK.The 13 camera DVD was filmed on October 13th 2006 at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland during Rodgers' sold out UK Tour."Paul Rodgers has been and still is by far one of the finest talents of our musical genre."Jimmy Page 2007

In October, Paul will be going into the studio with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor writing and recording new songs for a potential Queen + Paul Rodgers album.
