Producer, Writer and Musician. http://www.baselines.com - Former bassist for A&M recording artist Private Lightning
At the age of 7, Steve suffered through piano lessons at the hands of the good sisters from St. Josephs Parochial School. This did not dampen his enthusiasm for good music and taught him the basics of scales and chord progressions. Throughout the next three years, much to his parents chagrin, he kept hammering away at the piano, mostly the devils music, rock and roll. Of course, everything changed when the Beatles hit the scene, and Steve obtained his first guitar, a $20 piece of crap that badly deformed the tips of his fingers. Several instrument upgrades and local bands later, due to the difficulties finding a decent bass player, he switched instruments, and in 1975 answered an ad in the Boston Phoenix for a bass player. Along with longtime friend and keyboard player Eric Kaufman, he met Paul and Patty Van Ness who had placed the ad. This was the beginning of a band called Quick, which over the next year developed quite a sizable local following. The band went through several changes and eventually became Private Lightning. This band played for several years and signed a contract with A&M Records, releasing one eponymous album released in the early 80s. Private Lightning eventually broke up, and Steve played bass guitar in several other local bands before getting a real job. While he no longer plays out, he has been involved in recording both original tunes and also covers when the mood strikes. He is currently an active member on BandLab, and his music can be found on all of the popular release points. In addition to creating and recording music, Steve has gone on to learn the arts of Engineering, Mixing and Mastering, using tools developed by Cakewalk, Izotope, Waves, Native Instruments and several other companies.

Lyrics
What was I thinking when I pushed on that slide rule? Was it the magic wand that led me here? Ever since I was very small, telescope in my hand, That demon called my name Through renewal in the fall, watching the leaves blow A little snow begins to swirl Equations that mystify hold all the worldly truths Except how to fill the void. Christmas comes and then it goes HP made the slide rule obsolete April, May, June, Pomp and Circumstance It's suddenly not so clear. All the aces in my squad vied for the chance to get there first Noone had thought that honor would be mine Out 100 million miles and out of books to read. What was I thinking? Christmas comes and then it goes AI lacks that gentle human touch April, May, June Cognitive Decline It's suddenly very clear
