Lance Reegan Diehl
'Maniacal Cavern' - This will mark the 15th studio album that Lance has produced.
And this will be the 29th record that he has recorded on, played on,
been a session guitartist, and/or otherwise been a part of!!!
'Maniacal Cavern' - is a vast under taking and culmanation of guitar parts
and compositions that have been brewing in the Artists head since 2018.
It is all finally coming together in 2023.
This recording has many guest players on it. Taking risks,
reaching further in harmonic struture and time.
This has always been a personal flight, of bee like nature for L.R.D.
What does it sound like?
An important friend, and Super Fan put it this way in his correspondence with L.R.D.:
".....An endless flow of varying gestures, textures
and harmonic overstructures on a purely visceral level...."
With that kind of a commendation.
Let's see what your ears think. Get your copy now..........

in his humble home/studio/office, and lets his bass guitar with toooooo
many strings on it, take him on many musical voyages. This is 'GREAT'to have
'Ski' perform on a good part of this record. In a way, this has made a teriffic
re-union of those crazy times, in the early days of Seoul Rock n Roll.

Liner Notes
The gratitude and friendships you lead and live in life, often shape
and affect you in life, and throughout life.
I am very happy to thank and acknowledge these two significant musicians.
Rob Denni and Peter Krasulski.
Their performaces joining in from Augusta Georgia and Baltimore
Maryland respectively. Represent a music connection we had in
2002 and 2003 in Seoul, Korea.
We played: RUSH, Floyd, all kinds of rock/metal, The Police, funk,
80's, 90's, 70's, 60's....some Baby Boomer 50's, Blues, Jazz......
just about anything we wanted to. And in many ways during
2019 up to 2023, we let those influences flow, and had quite a bit
of back an forth between us while creating these recordings.
I need to dedicate part of this pages to these two guys.
L.R.D. Band 2002 to 2003. Lance, Megan, Rob, and Ski. We rocked in Seoul,
and all around the Pennisula. Thank you fellas. Hooah
First off, thanks to my family for handling the late nights that it took
to make this recording happen. Forever your ‘Dada’ always love you.
Karl, Svenson, Jay, Andrea, Kevin, Jeop, Tracy, Tom. I appreciate your
contribution to this record very much. Every one of you have shared stages
and time in my life, and we have made a difference to each other.
Not matter how great or small.....we changed each other.
You don’t often realize how much your thoughts and your idea’s can
make/change/or break you. And I think these recordings needed to be done,
for all of those reasons. I thank you all for being a part of this!!!
A ‘part’ of our journey.
Thanks to : Andy ‘J.J.’ Kim, Chapman Guitars, Graphtech Guitar Parts,
Olympia Strings and Straps, Sound Drive amplifiers and digital devices.
Thanks to 'Owen Moss' for his Photographer skills, and
taking the photo’s of Lance Reegan-Diehl.
Mixed and mastered at DEELEEBOB Music Studio.
