We first performed together a few months later at Franco and Becky Tedesco's Bagels, Blues and Brews coffeehouse, as I molded some guitar and harmonica lines around Pamela's phrases.  Toward the end of the night I was digging into my bag of Beatles' songs and pulled out John Lennon's Ticket to Ride and You've Got to Hide Your Love Away.  Pamela joined in with some incredibly soulful original vocal lines and literally claimed the songs as her own.  To this day, I still get shivers when we perform them together.

Missing Lynx Productions had its origins in a series of gigs that Pamela, Katie Miller, and I shared during the winter of 1996-97, occasionally joined by another blues-influenced female vocalist, Kathryn Koch, who went on to co-found Redheaded Stepchild with guitarist David Nanni.  The gigs frequently became marathon sessions highlighted by a great deal of vocal and instrumental improvisation and jamming.

    Pamela and I performed together frequently during the June, 1997 Allentown Art Festival, including and electrifying opening set at Nietzsche's Allentown Weekend Music Fest which featured an inspired performance of Pamela's Charmed and Harmed and ended with a smoldering version of the blues chestnut Got My Mojo Working, a song originally recorded by blues songstress Ann Cole before Muddy Waters 'borrowed' it.  That weekend, Pamela definitely took it back.

    Soulryder, Pamela's self-produced inaugural CD, was recorded at Outer Limit Recording Studio in March of 1998.  I was extremely pleased and grateful when Pamela asked me to add guitar and harmonica lines to California Song and Charmed and Harmed, respectively, during the recording of the project.  A series of misfortunes delayed the release until the spring of this year, but Soulryder has been extremely well-received by critics and fans alike.
