About Me

Hey folks, well I'm crazy about my family & my music! Oh yes anyone that knows me, will already know that! ;-) My side of the family is back home in the UK, Rhonda's from here in Michigan & her family's so cool to me! Lucky guy. I play drums - Any drummers will note "Cozy" Al as this was a nickname I picked up years back, as Cozy Powell was my biggest influence! - jamming most times with my terrific wife Rhonda, who plays keys! Yeah, you rock girl! We are currently also jamming with Jesse & Dave (Taprat!). Looking for a vocalist & bassist though, classic rock stuff, but not always the hit stuff some album tracks thrown in for good measure. Yeaaah! Love keeping track of English footy, miss UK friends & family alike - Yes Jono, that includes you! - & old bandmates from England of course. Full Tilt, Medler & Just Before Dawn were all great fun & the very nearly band, Arrival ..., with Steve Newman & Ian Leach.Work in automotive, write CD/gig reviews for rock website: http://classicrock.about.com/index.htm & hey, I'm loving the life I'm fortunate to have! Welcome to my place folks! Good to ta meet ya! Cozy Al
