Whoa! You missed it. That was a great session Thursday in Michelstadt at the Hüttenwerk. Andreas Martelle was on guitar and Wolf Simon on drums. It was pure Blues and Rock. We had the pleasure of supporting Charlie A’Court and his band. These guys are incredible. I mean you got to hear this man sing. Charlie is definitely one the leaders of the new generation of North American blues and soul singers. Along with Brian on Chapman Stick and Toby on drums, they rocked the house and are a fresh wind for todays music. You GOT to check them out. (www.charlieacourt.com ) Also there was William Lee Ellis form Memphis, Tenn., who opened the evening on solo acoustic guitar….it was just wonderful music. I would literally give my shirt to these guys......Keep up the good work!

---------------------------------------------
I'll be in Einbeck playing solo this Saturday 23 Oct., and in Bad Oldesloe on Sunday 24 Oct unplugged with Sefan Gwildis and next Friday 29 Oct with Deutschland Phunk in Braunschweig.

The dates at Schalke 04 with the band PUR were a big success, 180,000 screaming fans over a course of 3 days. Many thanks to Hartmut and the guys, to Stefan Gwildis , Heinz Canibol, Roman Rybnikar, the Schalke Arena crew and security team, and last but not least to my man Martin Langer, Mirkman, and Hagen.

The workshop at PPC in Hannover was also a major thrill, thanks to Chris and the PPC team and to the fans, players and customers that were in attendance. It was booming.....

And so was the workshop in Sulzbach/Saar. It was a giga-boom-bang-event well worth the the long ride down to Saarland. Greetings to Dani, Hanni, and to the players Andreas Schmitt-Martelle, Martin Engelein, and the six & four staff.

Hi folks, I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season.
It’s back to work now!
I’m still in the studio working on my Cd. Most of my time in the beginning of the year will be dedicated to that. As I said before I am recording in Landsberg am Lec, a small
town near Augsburg in Southern Germany. There Stefan Stoppok has his studio.
The studio is well equipped, with a 24 track analogue tape machine, a Mackie desk, and nice rooms for recording. The basic tracks are recorded live without a click track, which is only possible with great players such as the ones that are playing with me. I mean seriously I wanted the absolute best players available so I called all around the world……..unfortunately nobody was home so I had to take these guys: Mario Schultz on guitar and Wolf Wolff on drums.
And in the meantime I found out that these guys belong on that list of the best! Every now and then Stoppi will jump out of the control room and slam some funky guitar or banjo on us.
I will post some sounds up by the middle of Febuary.

Have a good one,
Reggie Worthy





.........I wil bew giving a bass clinic in Lüneburg at Pro Musik on the 18th of December. I hope to see you there!

I am still in the process of recording my album. 6 basics are finished and they are kicking. As soon as I get some vocals on them I'll put some samples online so that you can hear something. It's fat though, sounding like something between a rock and a hard place. Thanks to the guys....Mario Schultz on guitar, Wolf Wolff on drums, and Stoppok on guitar and everything he can get his hands on. The project should be finished by the end of January next year. Peter Sömmer is already preparing a German tour for me for spring of next year. Maybe I'll come to your town. If you got any suggestions please contact me or leave a message.
