About this project

Not much is known about these two albums "Good As I Been To You" and "World Gone Wrong" because there were only three people involved: Bob, Debbie Gold and me. I am writing a book describing my experience of working with Bob and Debbie. The memories are funny, sad, enlightening and demented. He is either the most intelligent artist I have ever worked with or the luckiest. He is certainly the most interesting.
During the writing of the book I will submit it to publishers who should be interested in publishing and distributing it through major outlets. I have determined that I should be able to write the book within six months of steady work and my instincts tell me that this will be of considerable interest to numerous publishers.
The money is for living expenses during that 6 month time frame while I write and seek publishing.

In 1985 my family and I (my wife and three small children) migrated to North Hollywood, CA. I engaged in the trek with the expressed purpose of getting "involved in the music business". Easier said than done. After 4 months of delivering bottled water I was discouraged, to say the least. Debbie, a native of Kansas, wasn't having any part of my discouragement. "You dragged me all the way out here with three little kids. We're not going back!" I guess that settled it.
One morning a call came in to my company's office to set up bottled water service at a new studio in Burbank. I curiously strode into the facility called Take One Studios and met the owner, Steve, a man who looked like he had been awake for three days and was running on empty (which he had been and was). I volunteered to come back that night after I had delivered my bottled water and help. "I can't pay you" Steve was quick to point out. No matter, I had an opening at a recording studio. Little did I know where this would lead...
Since that time I have traveled around the world pusuing my dream of being "involved in the music business". During that pursuit I have worked with Gun-n-Roses, Megadeth, LA Guns, The Screaming Jets (Australia), Bob Dylan and many, many more. It has been exciting, harrowing, mind numbingly boring, and excrucuatingly painful, but it has been the ride of a lifetime. One part of that ride was the two albums I made with Bob Dylan in 1992 and 1993 called "Good As I Been To You" and "World Gone Wrong" respectivly. It is this experience upon which I have based the book.
