Zack Wiesinger, guitarist extraordinaire/mad-hatter and I will be playing four shows in New York City next week. Although Zack and I are both from Pittsburgh, we didn’t link-up until I received an email from Steve Vai’s mailing list letting me know that Zack was going to be opening for Steve’s European and US tour. I checked out his stuff and dug the hell out of it. When we started playing together, I grew as a musician. We eventually found an apartment where we could make serious amounts of noise around the clock. Zack and I decided that if we were going to do these shows, every song would have to say something that hasn’t been said before. Otherwise, what are we doing?

I’m late to take a swig of grandpa’s blog medicine so here is the fizz on me and why you might want to check me out, in my musically inebriated state.
I’m a Los Angeles based Guitarist, Cinnamon Toaster Strudel connoisseurand internationally recognized Fall-asleep-on-the-coucher. As a guitarist, I’ve found myself in situations where all kinds of craazy sh*t is happening and I vaporize into a fly on the wall to witness it… but sometimes I knock over the pots & pans on my way out and that’s what this blog is about. I’ve…
hopped into a kitchen freight elevator to find a restroom and ended up eating banana bread with Alice Cooper before his show, I’ve complained at 5 AM about the feathered pillows at The Four Seasons while on tour; while munching on a Milano cookie, I overheard payola deals and music industry nitty-gritty, I’ve ‘been a geek in music and rocked out in corporate boardrooms at Yahoo!, MTV, Yamaha, Fender, etc. My strange luck & unerring clumsiness extend so far beyond music that I don’t know where to begin but the music memories are safe and sound in my guitar case and that’s what I intend to bring you. I play a lot of music but that’s not all I am capable of doing. I’ll tell you about my projects, mention a friend or two and post my schedule (top left) but let’s keep this random. Chicken pot pie.
