Omega is the final letter of the Greek Alphabet...so ...

Yes live is where we live. Love to play live. Once we performed for 25,000 people in Freemantle. Awesome!!!

The future of the retail music industry lies with downloadable songs and albums. The infrastructure is slowly being built through broadband access and the end-users are equipping themselves as personal computers gain wider adoption. Additionally, expect to see game consoles and set-top cable and satelite boxes enabled for this in the near future. This will take some time but it is the way we are all headed. Digital rights management will eventually be sorted out for newly released content. The music that has already been released is not secure and never will be. The definers of the Red Book CD standard didn't see what was coming and failed to implement security.

yes...

RON ANDERSON: Drums-Percussion and Vocal-Percussion

Ron brings a 30-year package of experiences. The credit list includes Ramsey Lewis, Lou Rawls, The Captain & Tennille, and in the Summer of 2000, a tour of Australia with SINE…The Band and The Metropolis Youth Symphony-led by accomplished Classical Performer, Conductor, Producer and Arranger, Robert Ian-Winstin-for the Olympic Torch Relay.

Ron’s mentors include Billy Cobham, Steve Gadd, Lenny White, and Tony Williams, to name a choice few. Like these music legends, there have been many occasions where Ron would “sit-in” with a band, and it would sound as if they’ve been rehearsing for years. Jazz/Rock-Fusion is Ron’s first love, but good music comes in many forms, and he doesn’t shy away from any of them.

ROBERT DODSON: Bass/Guitar/Songwriter

Robert has played guitar in several local bands in the Chicago area, including a stint with the traveling band backing soul legend Otis Clay. As time progressed, his perspectives continued to expand, encompassing a keen interest in all genres and forms of music from classical to country, bluegrass to bebop and everything in between. A natural extension of his guitar playing was the addition of bass guitar. As a bassist, Robert, along with Ron, in the Summer of 2000, toured Australia with SINE…The Band and The Metropolis Youth Symphony for the Olympic Torch Relay. He cites as influences many of his favorite artists including Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, Marcus Miller, Ron Carter, Carlos Santana and Jaco Pastorius to name a few.

Gibson, Fender and Ibanez guitars; Warwick, Zon and Fender electric basses, Kay (1950's) and Martin acoustic basses; Tama drums with Zildjin cymbals.

May there be Peace on Earth and goodwill to ALL!!!
