Emerson Swinford

Glastonbury with Ronnie Wood

Jeff Beck! Got to meet my hero and in my opinion the finest guitar player on the planet (since Jimi left anyway.) I'm not sure what he's thinking here, something like "how the hell did Rod Stewart's guitar player infiltrate my dressing room?!"

Hanging with one of my heroes Joni Mitchell.

Guitar legend and very gracious gentleman, Carlos Santana. (Notice Jimi Hendrix on his shirt!)

Rockin' With Rod. Making music with a rock n roll legend!  Something I'm honored and proud to be doing.

Another guitar hero of mine, the amazing and humble, Eric Johnson.

In NYC, taping the PBS show Soundstage with Idina Menzel.

Playing a solo under Rod's watchful eye, he doesn't miss a thing!

With Wendy Malick, Betty White, and Valerie Bertinelli on the set of Hot In Cleveland. (The other co-star Jane Leeves went missing just before the photo was taken…Jane leaves, get it?)

with J'Anna, my talented buddy in the RS band.

On the set of Hot In Cleveland with Jennifer Love Hewitt. A few years before she was a guest on H.I.C, I co-wrote a few songs with her and played on her record. (I've since had the creepy small boy's face removed from my shoulder, it's healing nicely.)

Ron Wasserman and I holding our ASCAP awards for Hot In Cleveland. He got an additional award for Spongebob Squarepants. 

On stage at the Glasgow 2014 Common Wealth games. 60,000 in the stadium and another billion watching around the world. My bass playing pal, Conrad took the photo…"hurry dude, we are about to start!" (from Wikipedia, "The estimated worldwide television audience was one billion, with 9 million in the UK."

I'm leaving Las Vegas....

At a Buddhist Temple in Chiang Mai Thailand with Sarah.

Carlos sits in on "I'd Rather Go Blind" and tears it up!

Clowning at the Curacao North Sea festival, waiting for Bruno Mars to play. He and the band were GREAT!

Rod and Don boogie, while I concentrate. Conrad wonders about his Apple stock, (i mean while playing great bass, he's like that.)

J'Anna, Dave, Conrad, Chuck and me at the Jeff Beck show in Detroit. Some talented band mates and wonderful people too. I love you too, Chuck!

cool photo by Tessa Angus! She also did the photos for my album and some throughout the website. 

Playing the United Center in Chicago, my original hometown.

30,000 people at the Dublin show. Yes!

My brother goes to prom and I hold my first great guitar and constant companion, a Fender stratocaster!

Maggie May solo. ("Hey, can you guys please hold it down back there, I'm doing the Ronnie Wood solo!"
