Steve it is good to hear you are still chugging away at what you do best...make some Cool tunes.....cannot wait to hear the new tune-age!!!!

Yep, chugging away on the low B (and the other 6 strings) is what I do best!!

And I just got the new Ibanez catalog and...my name is on the back
I could be famous after all

Another update...I have a brand-new line-up!! Joining me on drums is the incredible Clarence "CJ" Jackson and 5-string bassist Kosaku Nakamura. These two gentlemen also have their own original band, Brokensoul (Ko is the guitarist in that band).
Also, the long-talked-about new album is finally being recorded!! We started on it last Sunday. Got all the drums done in 3 hours, and most of the rhythm guitar parts. New album will be called ABOUT TO EXPLODE! and I am purposely not setting a release date. Why? I'm tired of jinxing myself LOL!!

good luck

MORE NEWS...MORE NEWS!!

I am now an inside sales rep for DR Strings! Yep, the string company that I've been endorsing since 2003 asked me to jump on board as a rep, and I happily obliged.

Also, my new cd is finally done as well. Just writing up the liner notes and working on the cd sleeve but otherwise it's good to go.

And as if that wasn't enough, I am already working on my fifth album. Scary, huh?
