About Me

Cover of Journey/Neal Schon - Into Your Arms from Time 3 by Steve
Ifyou really love music...Play It!
In the "sound clips" above, you'll find some basic four track recordings I've done recently for fun,working on my picking and legato phrasing,as well as some older live Rush cover material when I was in a tribute band many years ago. I like Modern rock as well,of course, and various other modern musical genres,aggressive and light, but alot of the influences you see to the left were what got me started in the first place.To me, they are the holy grail of guitar playing......... The Rush tribute band, Visions, named after a Rush autobiography and a word used in countless Rush lyrics, was based on myself and two of my best childhood friends Glen Wyeth and Rich Merryman. We were 20/21 years old in these tracks, 19 years ago, recorded via a video camera, of all things back then, at Saratoga Winners, a prestigious club just outside of Albany, NY. We headlined there for just over a year in part of our run over New York State and Canada. I now hear some mistakes of course and our youth playing things a million miles per hour, but the excitement of it is captured here, and I'm overjoyed by it. It's totally pure...
