Hello Dreamwalkers out there,

So much going on in the world. How do we cope? Music. I saw the Canadian Truckers playing music and dancing during their protest. Bravo. We are working hard to put our performance together. There is a flow in my head about how the songs might go. How many originals and covers? How to keep everything moving outdoors on a beautiful night? 

We know this venue and it's been very kind to us twice, so please join us. For people who have already seen us, there will be some new songs from Debbie Stern and myself, and some new cover tunes to feature Dave Ross and David Dolnick. 

Put March 19 in your calendar. It's going to be a memorable evening. Bring a lawn chair and cooler and relax amidst our own "Dreamstock."

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Hey to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

Thanks to my son, Daniel Schulman of Schulman Media https://schulmanmedia.com for some great photographs of the band. We are getting ready for our gig March 19 at Myakka Moonlighters. Should be a lot of fun.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Good morning to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

Dreamwalkers Band is getting ready for our March 19 gig at Myakka Moonlighters and we hope you will all join us. The rehearsals with drummer David Dolnick are filled with energy and new life pulsing through the songs. The entire group is inspired and the result is an excitement infusing the songs with passion and bringing in new original songs and covers.

David Dolnick will be singing several songs he loves including covers of the Grateful Dead's "I Know You Rider" and "Friend of the Devil" along with Chris Issak's great "Wicked Game." Dave Ross began working on "Soulshine" a wonderful Allman Brother's tune and we played David Bowie's "Space Oddity" which Dave takes the lead on. We all listened and played with awe of Debbie Stern's rendition of "Runaway" the classic Del Shannon song covered by Bonnie Raitt. Debbie's leadership in harmony singing (after all she is the Queen of Harmony) is bringing our efforts to a much higher level than ever before. When harmonies are on point, the effect is sublime. Two part harmony is sweet, but three and even four part harmony will vibrate your being.

The band also worked on a few new original tunes by Debbie and I. While the covers are a blast to learn and play, our core as a group is original music. Debbie's contributed a new song, "Only One" and we worked on my own "So Many Stars." It's really amazing to be singing your own song with the support of great musicians, and have them jump in with ideas and suggestions that move the process into a higher realm. 

Finally, it's so cool to play alongside Tony Sheppard, a true guitar hero of mine. Smile for the camera, brother. 

I'm having so much fun with the music and our band is vibrating with the Cosmos in such a sweet and powerful way. See everyone soon.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Hey Dreamwalkers,

As part of my podcast with Dr. Mark Sylvester, "Alt Psych," I have the experience of speaking with interesting people from all over the world. Today I had the privilege of interviewing Dan Bacon who runs a site called "Modern Man" in which he works with men trying to understand how to have better relationships with women. When we had finished the podcast we were just chatting and we started to talk about music. Dan had a band, Alter Ego, back in the day. I sent him the Dreamwalkers web address and he honored us with a review of the album. Here's a highlight:

"The guitar intro to The Outsider has that 70s mystery and depth I really like. It captures the wild, free and rebellious spirit of America that people from all across the world admired, loved and felt inspired by back in the day. A cool song for driving on the open road." 

Thanks Dan. 

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Good morning to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

A quick hello to all those guitar geeks out there. Some call me a guitar collector. I'd say I'm a guitar geek. Turns out band members Tony Sheppard, Dave Ross and Dave Dolnick are also. Here's a photo of my newest precious music maker, a copy of George Harrison's famous "Rocky" psychedelic guitar. 

 Fun is why we do this. . . and the music is so uplifting.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Hey to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

We are at a time in our culture where there is great transformation brewing. Our band is in the midst of that presently. We are so very happy to have David Dolnick playing drums and during Monday evening's rehearsal I could feel the synergy happening in real time. We are making wonderful music and having great fun doing so. 

Both Debbie Stern and myself have brought some new original material for the band to work on and Drummer Dave has contributed several covers he loves to sing. Tony Sheppard is so versatile with his guitar playing, and he just seems to be letting loose with great creativity and power. We are starting to tap into Dave Ross's talents as a singer as well. The spirit and vision of the band is expanding and transforming.

I came into rehearsal very stressed from a long and difficult day. I left uplifted. We have a great group of people, talented, kind, quirky enough to be fun, all generous musicians. 

Peaceout,

Dr Dreamwalker
 

Hello to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

The band is rehearsing to play out and new band member, drummer David Dolnick, is giving us some great energy. We are looking for suggestions for a venue for this event. Please contact me through the website or by e-mail: dr.richardschulman@yahoo.com. All ideas are appreciated.

Hey Dreamwalkers,

The first review of our Music Is The Ride album has been posted in the "Reviews for Music Is The Ride" section of the site. If you get the album, or hear it on the website and wish to review it, let us know in the "Contact" section and I'll post it. 

Thanks to Joe R. of Sarasota for such a positive review.  Here is part of it. . . "I really am enjoying your songs. The lyrics are remarkable and very inspiring. Great sound! Feels like I'm at a concert. Kudos to the engineer and sound people, nailed it. The vocals are well done as well as the harmony."

We will definitely be playing out on March 19, but hope to see everyone before then.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Hello to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

Today was a good day for the band. We welcome drummer, David Dolnick to the Dreamwalkers Band. David, who did a guest gig on the song Crazy Movie on our first album has officially joined us. We have rehearsed with him twice and he is a big part of our band's transformation.

David's drumming is precise, lyrical, and intuitive and he seems to "get" us. We are making great music and having fun together. He also sings and we have started to arrange and rehearse songs with him in the lead. He will be involved in singing harmony as well. This is an exciting time for the band, and with a few more rehearsals to integrate David into the band, we will have our long awaited album release party.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Hey Dreamwalkers out there. . . 

It's been quite a few days in the life of our band. First, after all this time, we got our album, and it's really terrific. But we still needed a groove and an old friend appeared, David Dolnick sat in on drums with us during Monday's rehearsal and he was just fantastic. David was on our first album doing some impressive drumming on the song Crazy Movie.

The band had been like a car whose transmission didn't work right and we could kind of get around town but couldn't get on the freeway. As soon as he began to hit the skins, the transmission worked better than ever and we were flying. We had such fun and you could hear the spark and positivity in our singing and banter. A great weight had been lifted. Music truly is the Ride. We look forward to playing out again soon. 

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker
