Music and Italian Bikes

Very cool! I spent a few weeks in the mid-80’s with Steve recording his solo record, “Mercy”, at Cherokee Studios in L.A. A very nice guy and funny as hell. At the time he was getting into Harleys, as he would be for the next few years, and he loved old Brit bikes, but I don’t think Italian bikes were yet on his radar. I know that some years later Pro Italia hooked him up with a customized Ducati (I believe it was a Sport 1000). Bill Nation told me that Steve was doing some promo work or something with Ducati. I believe he may have finally moved up north out of L.A. I wish him well!

As of last week I hear he is having some serious health issues at the moment..I don't know him personally, but people I  do know well do know him personally and say he is a good guy and as you said funny as as hell, (as is my friend in a self deprecating brit  way) ....I enjoy his shows...and appreciate his guitar skills ( being a Brit of course he loves old brit bikes )

Thank you. I hope he’s well. The man has been through a lot, and has earned his place.

Here you go, Paul!

Cheers,
