There are so many people I had the awesome Honor of meeting in my Career. In 35 years, a Long and Winding Road of Notoriety of Attitudes, some I€™ll never understand? I fly the, Colors of Freedom. I want to thank everyone who supported all of my Musical Endeavors both Playing and Producing such Legendary Artists like David Crosby, The Band, Gregg Allman, Stan Szelest €œYour Music Lives on Forever€? Mark Farner,ect. Music unlocks the Doors of Reality from Days long gone to the coming Zenith of Time. Grace Slick told me she€™s to Old to Rock but she keeps Moving to the Sound. Steve Marriott, the Humble Pie told me €œHey Ronnie you better play your music before you get much older now€€? €œTo Hell and Back€? , Contains a CD €“ Rom Video Production of The Original Peer Pressure Project. Pro- Video by Jim Renaldo. For that era the Format was. A/V Master Produced on ¾ Inch Tape T.V Quality. 2004, I decided! Here€™s the way to go.
Digital Non - Linear Editing Post - Production, yea that's the ticket I said, so I gave Steve from TME a call. One of the best, Audio Video Effects Technicians in the Business. Never Before Seen , Video Footage of the Original Peer Pressure Project with Effects. The, Act opened for more National Touring Bands than any other Act in the History of the Buffalo Music Scene in the shortest amount of time. Lacking any Real Management in the Buffalo area, I had to take the initiative. Promoting, Producing and Opening for Nationals. Tour Bus Stories, ask me about them. The saddest thing being a producer is, when you see the Tour Bus leaving and goodbyes were said, off to another show, or home, and did I Win or Loose?
A Very Special Thank you goes out to Big 7 Production€™s from California www.Big7Productions.com My New Label. A very Special Thank you toDennis Sanfilippo for believing in me and giving me the Opportunity to Work with a Major Music Company, Representing The East Coast Region of the U.S.A.

"To Hell and Back" is Ron's latest CD, recorded live at Long Meadow Park in Sinclairville, New York. With a band consisting of Ron on vocals, harp and guitar, Mike McCean on bass, Jim Prime on lead, and drummer Rick Dranger, they come up with a sound that Ron describes as "a Southern blues/rock reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws and the Marshall Tucker Band." I agree. Says CD Reviewer and Author of The Original Wild Ones Book and DVD with Sound Track by The Charlie Brechtel Band, Billl Hayes of the Syndicated Motor Cycle Magazine €œ Thunder Press €œ
