When you see this blog, it will be July 5. Why is that significant? Read on… Let me paint the back story for you in a nutshell: I was with another string company from 2017 until 2023. Over time I had grown a bit (well a lot) frustrated with lack of support. Another way ofContinue reading “STRUNG ALONG…”

Last night’s gig with Rock Hard at Bardi’s was off the rails! But what’s a gig without a Spinal Tap moment? Right before soundcheck, my footswitch broke. Under my foot! Went to tap on it and…nothing. The sound guy tried fixing it and said “It’s done, man.” So with some quick thinking, I pulled theContinue reading “THREE T-SHIRTS AND A BROKEN FOOTSWITCH”

The pic taken on the left was snapped by Eve Lina of Evolution (more about that gig in a bit). The pic on the right was pulled from the Ibanez website (more about that soon too!) My life seems to be turning around since Memorial Day weekend. Anyone who knows me (all three of you)Continue reading “HOT HOT HOT!”

First show of my “tour” started last night in Red Bank, NJ with the cover band Evolution. And what better way to kick the summer off than by playing at a cool room with the doors and windows open! And a kick-ass sunset behind us!! I hadn’t been to Red Bank in a few years.Continue reading “THE START OF A GOOD SUMMER!”

Gigs can happen at any time. Especially when I’m not looking. Story of my life. Last night I was asked by Eve of the band Evolution if I was available for a show next Saturday June 15. Once I got my schedule under control, I said “I’m in!” So now I have three shows betweenContinue reading “TO SEE AND BE SEEN”

What happened to my website? Was it taken over by aliens? Was it sabotaged by disgruntled ex-band members? I like the aliens story. But no, yours truly felt the site needed a new coat of paint, a nip and tuck here, as well as hopefully regaining interest. Yes, I obsess over Google analytics and haveContinue reading “NEW COAT OF PAINT”

This past Wednesday, I was in the studio with DJ Metal Mistress for her Metal Meltdown show. Unlike previous shows, this one was definitely a bit different. I didn’t promote anything for once! We talked on air about music in general, fave bands, took questions from people in the chat room. Aside from talking brieflyContinue reading “I’VE SEEN ALL GOOD PEOPLE…”

Sorry it took a bit of time to get a video going for the newest single “Spherical Miracle”. But this thing called life kept getting in the way. It happens! But here you go, another video created by Metal Maiden Vicki using AI technology. And I discovered cool new effects to make the video aContinue reading “NEW VIDEO (FINALLY…)”

It’s nice to be invited places. Especially when it’s when the person inviting you is DJ Metal Mistress (pictured above with yours truly). She asked me to be a guest DJ next Wed May 22 on her Metal Meltdown Show. And of course I obliged. Hadn’t been there in quite some time. Yes it’s beenContinue reading “BEEN A WHILE…”

It’s already May?! How can this be?! I have to be blunt as always, this year has been pretty slow for me personally. Think I’m finally seeing signs of life and feeling better each day. I sound like a Hallmark card now. Above you see a nice flyer that the good folks at Caline TechnologyContinue reading “HOW IS IT MAY ALREADY!?”
