Top musical influence:
Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Judas Priest. Guys like Alex Skolnic of Testament and Alvin Lee of Ten Years After and of course The Yardbirds and all the other incarnations of it.
Led Zeppelin-Page/Cream-Clapton/all the Beck projects.

CD`s I`m listening to or refuse to put away:
Mr. Friendly - Forgotten Wars
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Testament - The Ritual
any Motorhead, Avenged Sevenfold and Coheed and Cambria are ones I`m watching.

Current Original Project and Tactical Outlook:
I`m actually the lead guitarist/lead vocalist for the band MR.FRIENDLY which is also all original. Randal has provided me an opportunity to reach a broader audience with my guitar playing. Mr. Friendly has just finished recording our first full lenght CD, and we are in the process of mastering it for distribution.

Long Range Overview:
I`m also helping the boys here in Randal to record their demo. This is turning into quite a enjoyable experience as Randal has extensive road time but limited experience in the studio. Look forward to many, many performances with Randal in conjunction with Mr. Friendly`s CD debut.
