ABOUT

Electric guitar player 41 yrs exp. played w the American Mr.Meaner band 90's original hard rock band (not the current UK Mr.Meaner) also with Johnny Hotrod & the Flashbacks oldies but goodies rock cover tune band, lots of garage band rock'n roll, live shows (the old Bourbon Square/ FM Station venues and more), studio recording, Vinnie & Paul Shortino studios ; Tom Wier at the old Wier family studios - our producer was Bob Kulick from Kiss (before Ace and Bob's brother Bruce Kulick joined Kiss) - I used to teach guitar; been out of circulation for a while playing endless scales riffs leads and a 1,000 song ideas on my couch for a while; looking to get back into the mix now: projects, fun, record, live, duet, full rock band; anything to actualize my talents - to work with others again to make our art, and to enjoy our time doing it. I work well with singer/songwriter set-ups making original songs (as with Eddie Lenhart) or just ripping leads (as with William Thoos) I think they still have material up on the internet you can check out - It's time for me to shake the dust off and warm up all this gear I've got and get a project going. Let's hook-up and see what happens.
