Ken Parker, an extraordinary guitar maker and human, has asked for help. It's a Fuck Cancer moment. (I played Ken's guitars starting in 1993 when he founded Parker Guitars, and he was as generous as he is innovative.) Thanks to all who can contribute and/or share. 🎸❤️‍🩹

2/2 ...Out of Sight being remastered for PBS Passport. I think one has to go to VHS for Taliesin: The Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright (1990), prod/dir by Steven Snow, and I'm not sure if a Drug Wars episode I scored for Frontline is available. Hard to own/control/access your own soundtrack work!

Thanks for your interest. People often slot me as "a guitarist" only, and miss that I write and produce (co-produced Earthling & Hours with Bowie, e.g.). My soundtracks aren't separately available, David Sutherland's film The Farmer's Wife is available via PBS, and Out of Sight is being... 1/2

Hey, thanks, and thanks for listening. Typo fix: the Sales brothers -- Tony Sales, Hunt Sales -- were in Tin Machine. Not the Hunt brothers. But you knew that. 😎

Because I'm a composer & songwriter too. Beyond a half-dozen each of songs and instrumentals that I co-wrote with David Bowie for Omikron: The Nomad Soul, I composed 24+ instrumentals. I also wrote PBS & film soundtracks, e.g., The Farmer's Wife & Out of Sight, both by David Sutherland, and more.

Guitarist Reeves Gabrels poses in March 1993 with a Parker Guitars prototype, a visually striking mahogany, modernist-shaped instrument designed by Ken Parker and decorated by Gabrels with drawings and found objects. Gabrels, who worked with David Bowie in the 1990s, has a bleached-blond buzz cut and shadowy eye makeup; he is dressed in black with a black feather-boa guitar strap. The photo is by Karjean Levine and available via Getty Images.
