Bill Pagel

I wrote my first song in 1965. I was 16. I played an acoustic 6 string Harmony and started to put more songs onto reel to reel tapes. As years passed, the reel to reel machines got better and my experiments sometimes went overboard. A 12 string Harmony was a great addition and eventually I got a 6 string electric and a bass. Finally got the Rickenbacker 360-12 I always wanted and used it on my version of The Byrds' "Bells Of Rhymney". Then I sold it. more...

Hard Day's Night

The Cavern Beat
is an exciting early Beatles Tribute that is wowing Beatle fans all over the globe with their amazing likeness to the sound and energy of the real Beatles. The group is based in Chicago and without a doubt is emerging as one of the finest early Beatles tributes you will ever hear.

The band was started by Al "Ringo" Wagner seven years ago. Al, being the perfectionist that he is, envisioned a band that would not only capture the incredible sound of the Beatles like no other band, but also capture the contagious energy, enthusiasm and humor that the original fab four were so well known for. more....

Jay K. Brindo

“... and now ladies and gentlemen ... here they are ... The Beatles.”
That’s how it all started for me. After hearing Ed Sullivan say those words, I begged my Dad for a guitar and lessons. He bought me a small ukulele and gave me two weeks to learn twenty songs. I played all those songs for him and my Mom one week later. Only recently did Dad tell me that as he sat listening to me play the uke all he could think about was how he was going to pay for the guitar lessons. So here I am, years later, not letting my parents sacrifice go to waist ... I love creating music that people love. Thanks Mom and Dad.

So it was in 1964 when Jay got his first electric guitar, and he's been playing beautiful music ever since. His style is very soothing and soft ... a little folksy too, but always meaning to be light and full of heart. Most will agree that Jay's music fits the new name of his website www.cirrusdaymusic.com. He and his wife, Beth enjoy a large family where music is a major part of their daily lifestyle. Listen to several pieces he has written and maybe you will catch the "Jay Bird."
