I started writing because I couldn't stand to listen to any of the music that was out there with the exception of Progressive Rock. Having heard most of the greats many times over I was craving something new. I just wanted something good to listen to and I've always adhered to the old adage: "If you want something done right, do it yourself." I am a guitar player and singer. Having written a host of "proggish" tunes I began my search for the other players I would require to play on my recordings.. Living in a small town near Rochester, N.Y. I soon found myself in a position where absolutely NO one in or around the Rochester area was willing to take the risk of "wasting time" getting involved with a project other than playing "covers" in bars for a measily few bucks and some free beers. "This is fucking pathetic!" I said to myself because I was the only one around who wanted to hear it. These musicians are scared to death to try something new and innovative. Granted, many think that Prog is simply dated but just as many still love it as if it were still at it's peak. And so, having written off western New York as a giant chicken coop, I found myself, with the help of technology, playing and singing all the parts myself. Then I had it mixed and digitally mastered by a friend, Gary Holt at his studio. Now after considering the final product a success I have tweeked the old adage to suit my own situation: "If you want something done AT ALL do it yourself!" I want to thank the few who believed in me and supported my efforts including Gary, Buzzo, Jeremy Bittle, Georgene, Ted Paris, Brian Terho and Betsy-Dawn Williams. |

Welcome to |
How do you tell people that they have given a whole new meaning to the word "greed" without sounding like a whimpering crybaby? How do you communicate with megalomaniacs? And how can you do it with music that is characteristic of the days before our culture began to die out? |
You Are Here |
