• Classic Rock Q107FM - My association with this Toronto radio station has spanned three decades. Q107 first presented The White at the Masonic Temple in 1982 (a side note: Led Zeppelin played at that same venue in 1969 when it was called The RockPile!). Now in 2006 Q107 are still presenting our shows to sell-out crowds in Toronto. For the past 3 years one of my other projects 'Animal House' is the Q107 classic rock house band and plays on the Breakfast With Derringer show, one of the highest rated morning radio shows in all of Canada.
• Long & McQuade Music - What can I tell you about this music store. They are simply the best music stores I have ever shopped at. They have an amazing selection of musical instruments and accessories as well as the nicest and most knowledgeable staff and repair department I have ever come across. I first wandered into their Bloor Street store in the mid 1980's and was amazed when they offered me credit when I had none. They care about musicians and understand the plight most musicians face when it comes to credit... we don't have any... but sometimes we need some. That is a very cool concept that they live by and because of that and more they will have my support for as long as I am drawing breath. Thank you Long & McQuade for being there for us.
• Bullseye Canada - Canada's Premier Independent Label. I have been working with this label for about six years now in many different capacities. As a producer for some of their talented roster, as a mastering engineer for some of their projects and also as a artist distributed by Bullseye/Fusion III. Jamie Vernon label president is a HUGE music fan as well as a talented musician in his own right. It is refreshing to find a record label that is engaged in the art of promoting and supporting great music and lending a helping hand to bands and talent who are out there slugging it out in the bars and clubs performing live for a living. I have the greatest respect for these guys who have always been there for me whether it is to answer a few questions regarding the music biz, coming out to the clubs to support my projects or whatever I need from them. Thank you Jaimie, Lisa, Stacy and everyone at Bullseye.
• SF Marketing - Shure Microphones - Pete is a good man and has supported the Ultimate Jam since day one. A talented musician as well that boy is!
• Motley Crue - My old band mate Nikki Sixx and his crazy troupe of misfits. They make some good noise from time to time. They sure don't like one another these days though, each member opting to travel in his own separate tour bus while on the road to avoid having to share any offstage space with each other... ahh, the good times... segregated as they may be... Read my stories about my good, bad & indifferent times with Nikki Sixx on my 'Tales / Photos' page.
• George Lynch - One of my oldest and dearest musical friends. His new album 'George Lynch - The Lost Anthology' features one of our songs 'Night Boyz' that we recorded in 1975 in Long Beach, California (audio clip available on my audio page). George lost his copy of the tape the week after we recorded it. I on the other hand have been saving my copy for 30 years. I told him I had it and I gladly sent it to him to use on the album. He is an amazing guitarist and always has been. Van Halen used to open for us as well as many other bands from the L.A. scene who went on to fame and misfortune. George has always been ahead of his time... I was always arriving late... but then, I saved the tape, didn't I?
• The Official W.A.S.P. Website - Randy Piper's former band. These guys argued in my studio more than any other band. Fist fights for no reason, drunken brawls and psycho head trips all designed to keep each other on edge. I was glad to see them move out of my studio. They were one band that I can truly describe as insane!
• Animal House - We are the Q107 Classic Rock House Band and perform on the Breakfast With Derringer Show.
• Men In Black - One of my party bands. We play at Corporate functions and events.
• Buckeye's Led Zeppelin Page - The best Led Zeppelin site in the States.
• Electric Magic - The Best Led Zeppelin site in Canada.
• Hard Rock Café/Club 279 - Toronto
• Fiddler's Green Irish Pub - Cambridge
• Raxx Bar & Grill - Brampton
• Jake's Boathouse - Toronto
• Jeff Healeys Bar - Toronto
• Steven Houston is a brilliant artist as well as a kind and gracious man. We have been working together for three years now at the Ultimate Jam. He has been very generous to us with his time and the artwork he has completed for our event truly reflects his genius. Just checkout his work and I'm sure you will agree.
• Sunrise Records - These guys are great! They have a wonderful staff who are really knowledgeable about the music and movies you are looking for. They have a lot of hard to find titles as well. Not to mention that they are co-presenting our Discography Series in Toronto! Check them out for the Led Zeppelin CD's and DVD's you need. Great prices and they carry my CD's as well. The participating locations at this time are 336 Yonge Street & 784 Yonge Street only. Look for our display near the front of the store. Happy shopping!
