DESERT DREAMS PRODUCTIONS AND REAL II REAL PRODUCTIONS

Desert Dreams Productions, LLC and Real II Reel Productions are proud to announce a Strategic Alliance to record and develop quality artists and to provide the highest level of professional production and recording services, songwriting, musical direction, and career advice to aspiring artists.

Marshall Block and Dick Wagner at Real ii Reel Studios, Fenton, MI aka the Ponderosa

The alliance brings together Dick Wagner, aka “The Maestro of Rock”—songwriter and lead guitarist for Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Lou Reed, KISS, Peter Gabriel, Meat Loaf, Lita Ford, and more — with producer and recording engineer, Marshall Block. Marshall has produced three "Best Albums of the Year," as well as music for major motion pictures and television shows, including the Academy Award winning film, "The Fighter," staring Mark Wahlberg. Marshall was also the executive producer for Dick Wagner's seminal album, "Rock Hitstory," which is currently being remastered for a second release.

Says co-executive, Dick Wagner, “Marshall Block and I have agreed to pool our considerable talents, industry contacts, and years of experience in recording and producing music, to provide multi-faceted services to artists desiring to work with lifetime music industry veterans.”

“Our artists will record at Real ii Reel Studios, Marshall’s beautiful and sophisticated recording facilities in Fenton, Michigan, with a team of highly credited professionals working in their corner.”

"We’re not gonna focus on high budget, cost-prohibitive production that would be difficult for aspiring artists to afford. Our alliance will provide artists with the highest quality professional music production and songwriting, at modest and affordable cost.”

“Our artists will simply have to be willing to invest a little in themselves, to work hard and be dedicated to their art, and be willing to listen to the advice of those of us who are and have been there before.” says Dick Wagner.

Co-executive Marshal Block adds, “With Desert Dreams and Real ii Real, you will find a place where an artist’s best interests are at the forefront of our thoughts… And besides, we love seeing an artist’s reactions after they hear how they sound in the studio…and their smiles after hearing a few great road stories told during the process,” Marshall states.

 

Recording at Real ii Reel Studios, with Marshall Block, Dick Wagner and artist Cassie Wilcox

 

 

 

“I call my studio in the Fenton Woods “The Ponderosa,” because this studio is both my home and also our alliance’s work facility. This means that our artists are provided with all the comforts of home, along with the extraordinary opportunity to interact with the Maestro and his wealth of musical knowledge, as well as be regaled by stories of days with the Jackson Five, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and the entire Jackson family by Susan Michelson, Desert Dreams partner and the Maestro’s personal and business manager.”

You are invited to come meet us and work in the wooded peace of lovely Fenton, where wild turkeys roam the grounds, where deer peek in and play at the edges of the property… and where, from the first day with the Maestro, you will learn more about musical performance, creativity, and songwriting than any commercial class can teach you.

‘NOT ONLY WOMEN BLEED,
Vignettes from the Heart of a Rock Musician’

***
Legendary Guitarist and Hit Songwriter Dick Wagner, "The Maestro of Rock," Releases
Rock & Roll Memoirs. Foreword by Alice Cooper

Honored by Gibson.com for one of the Top 50 Guitar Solos of All Time, legendary lead guitarist and hit
songwriter Dick Wagner releases his highly-acclaimed memoirs ,“Not Only Women Bleed, Vignettes
from the Heart of a Rock Musician.”

Wagner, the often "Invisible Virtuoso," takes readers on a literary journey as he shares a lifetime of
experience as lead guitarist and songwriter for international rock icons including Alice Cooper, Aerosmith,
Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Air Supply, and more. In his captivating, witty, literate, and often touching
memoir, Wagner delivers colorful tales of reckless behavior and intimate debauchery with an emotional
reverberation that resonates with a wide reading audience. It’s not just "sex, drugs and Rock & Roll.” From
industry successes and failures, to personal struggles with family and relationships, “Not Only Women
Bleed” is a hard-driving, heart-driven life scripture, vividly and joyfully conveyed.

Early encounters with such legends as Little Richard, Roy Orbison, BB King and Les Paul highlight
moments of achievement in personal musical growth. Poignantly recounted stories of youthful days on the
road and years of hit recordings contrast with emotional tales of drug abuse and addiction that led to near
fatal health issues. After two heart attacks, a stroke and brain surgery leave him disabled and “drying up
in the desert,” Wagner finds enlightenment in the intensive care unit and takes the reader on a miraculous
journey of courage and commitment. His return to live performance is an inspirational celebration of packed
venues, overjoyed fans and critical media acclaim.

In his foreword, longtime collaborator Alice Cooper proclaims, “Dick isn’t JUST a guitar player... He’s
a gifted writer, and I wrote most of the Alice Cooper Hits with him.... Most of them all Top 40 Hits. My
personal and musical friendship with Dick goes on and on, and thankfully it’s not over yet.”

James Campion, The Huffington Post: “The invisible virtuoso, guitar legend Dick Wagner bears his soul
in his tightly presented new memoir, Not Only Women Bleed."

Industry professionals praise Wagner and his memoirs:

"It's witty, artful, literate, sometimes cheeky, often philosophical and profound, gentle and loving, wistful and
exuberant but, above all, musical.” Bob Ezrin, Producer (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Kiss).

Producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban): "Name your all time favorite rock guitar solos and
chances are at least one of them will include the legendary Dick Wagner."

“Wagner takes the reader on a highly entertaining and compelling emotional roller-coaster ride that
seemingly leaves no stone unturned.... A carefully crafted, vignette style book, that is not only easy to read,
but more importantly, almost impossible to put down.” Ryan Sparks, Classic Rock Revisited.

An Anonymous Church Lady exclaims, "It's wicked, but I loved it."

Available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, the official website www.notonlywomenbleed.com, and
other fine booksellers.

Great interview with Dick Wagner on University of Windsor, CJAM 99.1

Bob Ezrin's review of Dick Wagner's book:

5.0 out of 5 stars Just As He IS, January 6, 2012
By Robert Ezrin (SAN FRANCISCO, CA, US)


This review is from: NOT ONLY WOMEN BLEED, Vignettes from the Heart of a Rock Musician (Kindle Edition)
It feels a little self-serving to write a great review about a book in which I am a character and I would never normally do this but...I am SO proud of Dick and this amazing accomplishment that I have to weigh in here. This is no pandering or self-serving, ghost-written "auto-biography" that sanitizes the past to protect the "author" or amplifies the glamor and excesses to sell units. This is a thoughtful recollection of slices of Dick's life. It's witty, artful, literate, sometimes cheeky, often philisophical and profound, gentle and loving, whistful and exuberant but, above all, musical. But that's Dick in a sentence. Reading this will certainly entertain anyone who has an interest in the "Roman" era of the music business. But it also offers insights into the complex and often insane life of the musician celebrity; the one close to, but not quite at, the top of the entertainment foodchain. In its honesty it does encompass sex, drugs and rock'n'roll - but also pain, yearning, sacrifice, adventure, growth and the joy of creating.

Aside from being my go-to musician and writer on the majority of my projects in the 70's and 80's and now again in the new milennium, Dick Wagner is also my dear friend and a good man who has more than paid his dues over the years. To see him healthy and back in form again makes me very happy. To read this wonderful book makes me very proud.

Bob Ezrin

Silas Gore, A Film Trilogy

Dick Wagner and Alice Cooper are writing together for rock horror film, Silas Gore. Recording to begin at Harmonie Park Studios in Detroit. Tentative schedule begins October 1st in Detroit. Stay tuned for updates.

WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE 2:

Alice Cooper, Dick Wagner and Bob Ezrin are together again for the reprise of Alice Cooper's  "Welcome to My Nightmare." The new album, "Welcome To My Nightmare 2" was introduced by Alice at his June 19, 2010 press conference in Clisson, France: "I'm very happy with working with [producer] Bob [Ezrin] again. It's 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare', and it's the next nightmare. Thirty years later, he has another nightmare, and this one is even worse than the last one.

"I [hadn't] worked with Bob in a long time. After the 35th anniversary of 'Nightmare', I said, 'Why don't we start writing something else?' And he said, 'Why don't we just do part two?' We'd never done part two, so I went, 'That's a great idea. Let's get me and you together, I think we can still get Steven Hunter and Dick Wagner. We'll put some of the original people on it and add some new people." ~ Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper Dubs Her 'The Other Girl Next Door':
Sultry Singer-Songwriter
WENSDAY
Brings Her Fiery Fusion of Edge and Sophistication To New Downtown LA Hotspot BORDELLO
With Monthly Residency Every First Wednesday Of The Month Starting March 7th

Arizona-based singer/songwriter Wensday will be bringing her fiery fusion of edge and sophistication to downtown LA hotspot Bordello with her new monthly residency every first Wednesday of the month starting March 7th. Playing alongside Wensday at this free preview show will be Fred Mandel on keyboard (Elton John, Queen, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper) and guitar virtuoso Sid Jacobs (Buddy Montgomery, Harold Land, Eddie Harris). A sultry and sweet chanteuse one minute, a bold and edgy rocker the next, rock legend Alice Cooper sums it up best, _Wensday is the other girl next door._ She brings a magical multiple personality to her explosive debut album whose title forges an exciting new musical hybrid: Torch Rock.

Her diverse musical backgrounds as a jazz and rock singer, combined with her blues and classical training make Wensday simply way too cool to peg. Since graduating with a drama degree from NYU_where her social life gathered around weekend raves--she_s complemented her sophisticated jazz gigs with work as a body piercer in renowned tattoo parlors in Miami and Atlanta, in addition to taking on multiple roles as teacher, director, vocal coach, playwright and Associate Director of All Childrens Theater in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island.

Located at 901 E. 1st St., Bordello, formerly Little Pedro's, flirts with the notorious past of its infamous location, as the oldest bar and brothel in Downtown Los Angeles, by reflecting its legendary status as a theater of the unusual and provocative. The completely renovated and colorfully redecorated venue has been appropriately renamed by famed L.A. club owner Tony Gower, celebrity designer Dana Hollister, revolutionary urban planner Elizabeth Peterson and innovative restaurateur Jim Venetos.

WHO: Sultry singer-songwriter WENSDAY

WHAT: Performance in support of debut album Torch Rock

WHERE: Downtown LA Hotspot Bordello, 901 E. 1st St., Los Angeles, CA 90021 (213) 687-3766 (former location of Little Pedro's)

and Wensday have returned to the studio, recording tracks for Wensday's debut CD. Included among the many new "torch rock" songs written by Dick Wagner and Wensday, is a blues/gospel rendition of "Only Women Bleed," the Top 10 Hit originally written by Dick Wagner with Alice Cooper in 1975. A groundbreaking song in support of women in abusive relationships, Only Women Bleed remains powerful, topical and relevant to the defense of women around the world. In a reprise of the original 1970's production, Wensday's new recording includes a guitar solo featuring producer/songwriter Dick Wagner. Also featured on the 2006 recording is Fred Mandel, whose dazzling keyboard virtuosity was featured on Alice Cooper's 1970's Welcome to My Nightmare tour. Wensday's CD is due for release in first quarter 2007.

May 2006 finds Dick Wagner in production and songwriting collaboration with Dr. Gary Telgenhoff. Dr. Telgenhoff is creator of the SkinnerRat project, a look at the dark side of life through the eyes of the "rock drummer" and senior medical examiner of Las Vegas. Truly brilliant, slightly twisted, out of the mainstream music.

April, 2006 brings Dick Wagner to a creative meeting and co-writing session with Alice Cooper, the result of which will be potential new songs for Mr. Cooper’s next album (CD). After a long period of time, these two master songwriters are once again joined in what has always been a fruitful and successful collaboration of creative minds.

April 2006 also finds Dick Wagner in the studio with young and gifted singer, MissWensday, producing the initial tracks of her first CD. The CD will feature songs written by Mr. Wagner and MissWensday. MissWensday is a soulful Jazz/Blues/Pop singer from Providence R.I. with fantastic cross over appeal

An auspicious beginning for the Desert Dreams Team!

More to come!!
