The first edition of the band "Signs of Life" consisted of 4 members, Danny
Greenburg, Keith Kohrs, Steve Tanzen, and myself. This was an excellent band
just like the rest, because everyone knew everyone, and we were all
experienced musicians. That of course is key in the make up of a good band!
This band was set apart by the fashion statement it made. The first set or
two of music was fifty's and sixties and then we would change into spandex
and do new rock and really blow the crowd away!
"Sabre"
First Original band for me in the 90's
Well now this band I must say was "EXCELLENT". These guys were top notch,
they had quite a few awesome originals one I remember called "Gina"
(loves the night). I remember all of them but this one stood out it was on
vinyl! If you saw us you would have to agree I am sure, that this band
rocked! Left to right, Larry Osborn, on
drums, John Viscardo, on lead guitar, Eddie Warren, from Metro electronics at the time...lol,
on Keyboards and rhythm guitar, Me in the back, bass guitar, and Hutch, Lead
vocals
"MINdZEYE"
The Band everyone talked
about
Now how can I begin to tell you about the best players around. I had the
best drummer in the Tri-State area as I mentioned before in a previous band.
And I am remembering now that a Band called Yesterdays news I played in for
a short time broke up, and that consisted of Tom Hawkins, Lead guitar and
vocals, Myself of course, Tom Grosse Lead guitar and vocals, and Matt
Messenger, Drums which joined this band later right as it was ending. So I
mentioned to Tom Grosse, that we should just do a power trio with
Matt, and we did. This band had some awesome original music written by Tom
Grosse and performed by Minzeye. In fact I think I will post it on my music
page, Tom would be tickled, I think!
Silver Creek
This was in North Carolina I was "A
little bit Country and a little bit Rock and Roll"
Living in N.C. was awesome and I learned allot, when it comes to music.
Playing Rock for many years wreaked havoc on getting a gig in a place where
Country music was huge, but I learn quickly and I picked it up fast. I
played in a few bands and then landed this gig with Silver Creek. Good bunch
of guys Chris Fogelman - Lead vocals, Myself on Bass/vocals, John Nichols -
Lead guitar/vocals, and Joe on Drums. They actually like my Rock style of
playing that went into the Country Rock music we played!
"CIA"
(Caught in the Act) The first cover band
after I came back from NC.
