Where do I begin??



I've been playing guitar religiously for almost 25 years now. Up until June of 2005, I hadn't done anything musically for about 15 years. I continued to practice but I didn't write any new material. I concentrated mainly on my family life (wife and 2 kids) and full time job.



Then, as fate would have it, I was selected as one of the 10 finalists (out of over 3000 entries) to be in Guitar Player Magazine's "Guitar Hero" competition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last June. I ended up as the first runner up and things have been a bit different for me ever since.



I was inspired to write and record material for a CD. I recorded everything at home on my computer which is located, of all places, in our kitchen. I am just putting the finishing touches on the final mixes and working on a cover and insert. My hopes are that this recording will spark some kind of interest of some labels out there that might want to pick it up. But until then, I will attempt to distribute it myself.



The above four songs are from my new CD. I welcome all of your comments. Enjoy!
