is one of my feature articles in the new
expanded version of The Rust Belt
Chronicles. Stay tuned for a launch

Trevor Bolder
Recuperating
Uriah Heep bassist, Trevor
Bolder, is recuperating after having surgery on his Pancreas. The
operation and chemotherapy was successful in killing the cancer cells. We wish
Trevor the best. Word has it; he may be back sooner than expected with Mick Box and company.
It looks like they hit the “Nail on the Head” with this procedure!
Trevor is a superb bass player,
former member of David Bowie’s Spiders
from Mars band and has the closest playing style of Jon Entwistle alive today. Witnessing his bass solo on “July Morning” is something to behold and unfortunately many YouTube’s postings fail to focus on his solo. We found a
nice video displaying his prowess here, although
the sound is a little distorted.
Filling in for Trevor on Heep’s
upcoming tour is bassist, Dave Rimmer,
best known for his work with Zodiac
Mindwarp. You may send Trevor a card
or letter at this address:

Mystery Artist
A few blogs ago, I mentioned I was back in the
saddle backing-up a local up-and- coming artist. Who is this mystery man?
It’s the multi-talented artist, Rob Hemmick. I’ve had the pleasure of
watching this young man mature as an artist. I first was blown away by his “one-man
band” appearances 20 years ago and since then, Rob has produced his own material
and honed his writing skills to a
professional level.
You can check his latest release-
"Sad
Flight to the Sun", here.
The band features Eric Cicolani on guitar of The Thomas Edison Sound Machine and Ron McDonald of Mad Gathering on bass. The band is currently rehearsing for
opening slot gigs later this spring.
That’s all for Rock Lines this week and make sure to
watch for the new expanded edition The Rust Belt Chronicles to stay up on
the latest happenings in Rock Lines.
Until
We Meet Again,
