About Larry



Larry Williams has been playing guitar since he was five and has been performing in bands since he was thirteen. He began his professional music career at the ripe old age of 18 playing three nights a week in a local dance club. He was also a guitar instructor for about eight years, teaching up to 50 students per week.

After graduating cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh's Music program (Theory & Composition), he went on to study Film Scoring at Duquense University's graduate school.

He then attended the world-famous Musician's Institute in Hollywood (guitar program) and earned a Certificate for their one-year program. He then began a recording engineer career at a pro 24-track facility in Hollywood, starting as a gopher and working his way up to engineering and producing sessions on his own.

The studio was sold after a period of time and so he put together a series of cover bands and took them on the road, further honing his chops playing six nights a week.

He performed with Maxine Nightingale as her guitarist for over a year and has shared the stage with many notables such as Edgar Winter, David Campbell, Karen Black, Peter Schless, Thad and Liana Corea, and has performed on numerous recording sessions for others.

Always an arranger and often the musical director, he is usually found directing the spotlight to others and orchestrating behind-the-scenes activities. He has been writing jazz, pop, and country tunes for many years, and has written a film score for an independantly produced movie as well as two theme songs for TV pilots. He currently has songs scheduled to be included in two Showtime documentaries.

He has been devoting most of his time to composing and producing. He is a BMI-affiliated writer and currently works with several co-writers while producing solo artists in his studio in Valencia, CA.

He is also the moderator for two online discussion forums at Just Plain Folks (www.jpfolks.com): "Recording Studio and Gear" and "Guitar". (Just Plain Folks is an international site devoted to helping songwriters). Check out the site - it's great for all songwriters. AFABW member Harriet Schock is one of the mentors there.

Most currently, I am the Musician's Technical Liaison for this site.

New Rhinoceros Children's Book

I've been having a great year and creating lots of new things with Jenny. Over Christmas I was missing my guy Jack, so I wrote a book for him, then Jenny illustrated it. It's called The Toughskin Rhinoceros Wrangler Company. It's a simple story about the lengths we are willing to go to to see the people we miss. And there are dancing rhinoceroses. Here's some of Jenny's art…See More

The Threshold Bookcast : Chapter 13 : Keys To Ascension

Chapter 13 : Keys To AscensionRahu Lüli, the teenage monk from Kõrgus, is once again the central character of the weekly instalment of the Threshold Bookcast. This time, we find the novice reminiscing as he explores unknown territory uphill, following a hunch that has occurred to him prior to the morning ritual. « « Gazing up, the apprentice had detected an odd detail. Something was decidedly wrong about the view, and it couldn't but have a meaning. Over the years, the pitch black walls of…See More

Art is my World

During my earliest year in Elementary School, the only hobby that steals my time is sketching on my notebook. While my teacher is discussing and writing on the board, I am in my chair at the back busy in sketching.In that time I believed that learning could not be taken only from school, and knowledge is not only about speaking and writing but also drawing.My mother exasperated every time she checks my notebook because what she found was not my homework but those faces of my favorite anime like…See More
