About Me

THIS IS ANOTHER SITE OF VARIOUS BANDS I HAVE BEEN IN THROUGH THE YEARS STARTING FROM 1972 , THATS WHEN I GOT MY FIRST BASS GUITAR IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD . I STARTED PLAYING BEATLES TUNES AND PROGRESSED INTO LED ZEPPELIN , BLACK SABBATH AND DEEP PURPLE THEN I SAW ELP ON TV AT THE CALIFORNIA JAM 1974 AND THAT WAS THAT. I GOT INTO PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. IN 1975 WE MOVED TO CANADA AND I LIVED HERE MOSTLY SINCE THEN , BUT IN 1981-82 I WENT BACK TO LAS VEGAS ON MY OWN AND JOINED A BAND CALLED "FUTURE" PROGRESSIVE METAL REALLY BEFORE ANYONE HAD LABELED ANYTHING LIKE THAT, UNFORTUNATLY WE COULD NOT FILL THE VOCAL POSITION AND I QUIT TO JOIN A BAND CALLED NOTORIOUS OF ALL NAMES, AND MY FIRST GIG WAS OPENING FOR MOUNTAIN AT THE TROUBADOR IN VEGAS AND THAT WAS VERY COOL BECAUSE I GREW UP LIKING THE BIG HIT OF THERE'S CALLED MISSISSIPPI QUEEN SO TO ME IT WAS AN HONOR.THEN I DECIDED TO COME BACK EAST AND I HAVE BEEN BETWEEN BUFFALO MY HOME TOWN AND WHERE I LIVE NOW JUST OUTSIDE OF TORONTO.IN BUFFALO I PLAYED IN 3 BANDS , ONE WAS CALLED "SUN" AFTER THAT I JOINED A BAND CALLED " BUSTER ROXX" A HEAVY METAL BAND , THAT DID NOT LAST LONG AS I REALLY WAS'NT INTO THAT SO I MET UP WITH CARMAN RUBINO AND JOHN BARCELONA AND FORMED " EKTRA" WHICH STANDS FOR " ETERNITY KEEPS TIME REACHING AFTER" A PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND, EVENTUALLY I HAD TO COME BACK TO TORONTO, THINGS IN BUFFALO JUST DIDN'T PAN OUT. IN TORONTO IN THE 80'S I PLAYED IN A BAND CALLED "NRG" AND ALSO PLAYED IN "CERAFIM" AND PLAYED THE CLUBS AROUND TORONTO AND ALSO PLAYED AT THE ONTARIO PLACE FORUM WHEN IT EXISTED AND AT CANADA'S WONDERLAND IN 1987.IN THE 90'S I DID ALOT OF STUDIO WORK AND PERSONAL PROJECTS.
