Currently, my band consists of just myself. I write, compose, record ideas as they come to me. My music is really just a hobby and takes a back seat to my job, family.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Not really a band history here, but I've been playing metal for 38 years. I've taught some guitar on the side and have come to a point in my life where I wanted to release a CD of some self written material. With job, family and all, putting it together takes a long time. In fact, my music takes a back seat to job, family priorities but at some point in my life, I hope to release some original music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've played live before.. I love it.. it's a real rush. One time, I was playing in front of 400-500 people and my amp froze up. Very embarrassing. I finally got it to work, and finish the show, but not before some embarrassing tense moments that seemed like a lifetime. lol.....
