Started playing guitar again a few years back. Now just looking to write a fusion/rock/jazz influenced instrumental project. (Think 'Aristocrats/Guthrie Govan.. Alan Holdsworth.. etc..)

Not opposed to writing rock and progressive rock. Just don't want to deal with ego, divas, prima donnas or wanna be's. Ergo the 'instrumental' idea (unless you can write and sing like James LaBrie/Dream Theater. I would not be interested in a vocalist.)

I am older, with a job, and not looking to tour. Want to write, arrange, produce, record. realistically if you are under 35 and want to be a rock star, this would not be it. Need mature musicians willing to collaborate on original music only. NOT interested in covers .., period.

(Oh, the 'Vehicle' video has stills from the last gig I ever played up in Buffalo, NY was the only cover remake we did and we re arranged the horn section for sax, since Al Kroll was not only our keyboardist but one hell of a sax player )
