    Oh hell yes. The band, Easy Street, 1970-1988 played across the US as far west as Denver Colorado as far south as Texas southeast to Florida and across Ontario.

    Shared the stages with some well-known acts probably the best-known of which would have been Carl Wilson, Gregg Allman, meatloaf, Tom Petty. also lesser known acts including Southside Johnny, Pat Travers, Joe Ely, head east, Michael Stanley, Artful Dodger and some others who have probably slipped my mind. I've been solo sincentives www.easystreetband.com

  • awesome.

    saw travers at the old richfield coliseum for one of three main act concerts i saw there styx, queen or kiss. can't remember which one.

    michael stanley was one of my fave cleveland bands way back when.

  • Mike and Kevin sing harmony on our album in 1982.

    Tommy was our last drummer for the last trip that I probably shouldn't have booked ..

    Hey, it's the offseason and we're all trying to fight off the boredom... 😴

  • Thanks Axe.

    I'd like this to be a little bit of a free-for-all board anyway.

    Movies TV music art Theater; hell, anything like that. I just finished my gig at Put in Bay and will plug in the earphones and have a listen.

    WSS

  • Well I hope you enjoy it 🙂 It's a lil different..

    I spent what felt like a couple lifetimes out on the circuit playing everyone else's stuff so I stay away from covers these days.. I have a fairly extensive lil home playground ( I will never again use the word "studio") where I can do everything myself music wise and do my Sat night radio thing as well.. I do collab with a Canadian Bassist on "Escape from Sheol" and the track in my sig..

    Thanks for listening 😁

    Battle Axe certainly was written in this mentality, almost 15 yrs ago 😁

    Pardon the intrusion to your thread.. I use Superior 2.0 for drums but honestly, Toontrack sent me EZdrummer 2.0 and I have to say I'm impressed! I didn't expect to be.. I don't know if you use this type of thing in your "In Home Playground" but if you have a use, look in to it..thumbsup.gif

    I do, actually. There are so many MIDI drumming programs. And recorded loops. I've tried a few of them and don't particularly love me. Session drummer comes with sonar X 3 and all previous versions.

  • Nice stuff you guys..Heres My soundcloud page of Demos I made..All My own compositions and ideas except Maggot Brain lol...Some of the mixes are crap but. hey..it was fun putting them together.
