I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


IS: Samuel Stone on vox, Bill Peck - guitars, & Clint Larson on drums.

Two of their latest are "There for Me" and "Reach". Bill's guitar work (or I should say play) on "There for Me" is incredible - especially his solo - he indeed got to "play"... and Sam's vox are strong and soar through the lyrics with emotion; but make no mistake... this is definitely rock.

In "Reach", Bill plays just as skillfully, however he doesn't allow it to overwhelm the even more powerful emotions conveyed in this song. I suspect that's partially due to an excellent mix by Gridlock Studios, as Bill plays enthusiastically in every song and aches at times to let go and shred like mad - just my opinion :)

I should mention that though I personally love all ETR's songs, the writing in these two tracks is more intense and seems to show that gift maturing with time and experience. That said, Sam delivers these lyrics with a passion you can feel... in a package that as I said, remains ROCK.

With the collective talent of these 3 guys and producers Justin Thomas and Brett Hestla (Dark New Day/former Creed touring bass) - the sky's the limit.
Now to get the word out! :)

Talent is God-given. BE HUMBLE.
Fame is man-given. BE GRATEFUL.
Conceit is self-given. BE CAREFUL.


About Me...

I'm basically a settled down chick with a bit of a WILD STREAK left over :) I have a son, Alex (22 yrs old now & 1st in my friends list). He'll always be my baby, ya know?

I am a Christian and my faith is important to me. And although there ARE things I won't tolerate at all & things I do that I know I shouldn't (I'm human)... I don't judge (only God has the right to do that) & I don't try to force my beliefs on anyone. I'm just not ashamed of them. That said, hopefully you know where I stand.

I drive this:

An Azure Blue '04 MACH 1 MUSTANG - It has the '02-'03 .281 Cobra engine in it :) Limited edition - only produced in '03 & '04 (the '04's being Mustang's 40th Anniversary year). Approx. 7000 made - but only 280 exactly like mine (although I've added some things since my pics) and I absolutely love it!! Bet ya couldn't tell...

Gotta have that power... I'm a muscle car freak.I found the results of this lil survey I took amusing... :)
Your Driving Is: 71% Male, 29% Female

According to studies, you generally drive like a typical male. You're confident in your driving skills, and hardly any situation gets the better of you. And while you may have a few tickets under your belt, you're still a very good driver.

What's gonna happen to my dog one of these days when the light turns green LOL ...

I love all things fast lol... GOTTA HAVE THAT RUSH.


Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist
(Dunno bout the intelligence part ;)
...but it seems to describe my strengths pretty well.

This means you are highly intelligent & have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.

My Interests

Big LOVE here - CARS - especially American Muscle baby!

Other kinds of music... R&B - older (like Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding) and newer; too many to name... some Rap (especially Christian) but not most hardcore.

Newer country like Tim McGraw - GAWD what I could do to that man...

oh yeah - music....

HEROES? My MAMA.

Other than that - our Military

Brandon in Kuwait b4 going back to Iraq:

Also our founding fathers who went thru hell to start a great country.

In spite of our troubles - I love my country and though he's not perfect; I respect and admire our President.

For those of you who "hate" him... It's my opinion that if you can't bring yourself to respect the MAN in office, at least respect the OFFICE.

This is the US of A, people. We're fortunate to live here. Stop whining. OK - getting off my soapbox now; especially since I normally don't go there to begin with. Carry on.



Not a native - but I'm adopting this flag too ;)

BOOKS? Anything by John Grisham and good legal thrillers by others...

The Bourne Identity series by Robert Ludlum

Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkins, Max Lucado

The Bible and various devotionals.



QUOTES:

"The real world is chaotic; rationality is merely the system we as humans try to impose on random events to make them appear orderly." ~ Robert Ludlum's "Jason Bourne"

"Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself. ~ C.S. Lewis

More precious than peace are freedom and justice. We will fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to prevent justice from being destroyed........We will pursue this cause with determination and humility, asking divine guidance that in all we do we may follow the will of God. May we Americans all live up to our glorious heritage. ~ Harry S. Truman



This is a what a BABY looks like at 16 - 17 wks of pregnancy; it is a baby - a human child... I don't understand how ANYONE could see it differently.

AMAZING ...

I'd like to meet:

MORE BANDS TO CHECK OUT :)

Chris "Blackie" Starks was formerly in Field of Grey and KARMA in Charlotte NC near where I live. I have their last cd and it totally rocks - can't wait for the new stuff!!

Blackie is in the process of completing the final touches on the new Karma album but has a new band called "8 Years". I'm excited about spreading the word about that too!

The song is called "The Garden".
