And there you have it…a brief clip of today’s rehearsal, the last one for 2021. Decided to film a bit of “Stranded On Pluto” from MOOD SWINGS, and of course the Attacker rhythm section of Mike Sabatini (drums) and Brian Smith (bass) are, to put it mildly, “killing it”. We are going to resume rehearsalsContinue reading “LAST REHEARSAL OF 2021”

SNEAK PEEK AT LIVE BAND
You are watching a teaser clip of the song “Force Quit” from the new cd MOOD SWINGS featuring the rhythm section of NJ metal band Attacker: drummer Mike Sabatini and bassist Brian Smith! We have been rehearsing very hard (but having SO much fun at the same time!) I asked if we could film aContinue reading “SNEAK PEEK AT LIVE BAND”
EIGHT IS ENOUGH?
Finally got around to taking a group portrait featuring all eight of my studio albums. Is eight enough? Nah. Hard to believe that my first cd TWISTED METAL was done way back in 2003. And here I am, promoting MOOD SWINGS, which came out August 25 this year. I imagined back in 2003 that maybeContinue reading “EIGHT IS ENOUGH?”
IF YOU TOLD ME…
If you told me last year that I would have a new album out, a new signature pick, rehearsals with two bands and another guitar in 2021, I would have said “Really, dude?” But what a difference a year makes. In this picture, I am holding an Ibanez Mikro, which is a short-scale guitar thatContinue reading “IF YOU TOLD ME…”
I’M SO PICKY
I can finally announce that a new endorsement deal happened as of November 12, 2021. I am now a signature artist with Pick Guy, Inc. based out of Detroit, Michigan! After many years with another pick brand, it was time to move forward. I chat with Carson Randolph, the owner of Pick Guy, and heContinue reading “I’M SO PICKY”
AROUND THE SUN AGAIN
Another year around the sun…I am now a 52-year-old dude and proud of it. My birthday was November 2nd but am still continuing the festivities. I’m allowed to! Got to spend time with family, which is most important. Gave myself a bit of a break from teaching and rehearsing, both things I enjoy doing butContinue reading “AROUND THE SUN AGAIN”
SO THIS HAPPENED…
The unthinkable happened last night. I pulled my gear out of the basement and stood in front of people. And played. And life was good. After a few rehearsals, it was time for Naked Glory to take the stage (well, the floor) and bust out 30 songs over three sets. Started off mellow, ramped itContinue reading “SO THIS HAPPENED…”
A BREAK? WHAT’S THAT?
I got to breathe yesterday. Once. Today was back to busy mode and no complaints here! Did an interview at BulletProof Music Studios in Hazlet, NJ to continue promoting my new cd MOOD SWINGS. Michael Sabatini joined me, as he was asked to be interviewed as well, so that worked out fine. Doing the questioningContinue reading “A BREAK? WHAT’S THAT?”
IF I WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT…
If you felt the Earth tilt off its axis earlier this afternoon, now you know why… If I want something done right, like get back on stage in 2022, this is how its done! The rhythm section of the metal band Attacker will be pounding the songs out (and how!!) We had our first rehearsalContinue reading “IF I WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT…”
MORE OF…MORE
October is shaping up to be a very busy month. Ever since my new cd MOOD SWINGS came out on August 25th (that long ago?!), my life has been in hyperdrive. Not complaining at all, but at least today I get a bit of a breather. Inhale, exhale! The trio of interviews that I didContinue reading “MORE OF…MORE”
