   I didn't start writing songs seriously, which for me means writing entire   
   albums at a time, until over 6 years ago.   
      
   I got into my first band when I was 16 and 'naturally' figured that we'd   
   copy the Real artists' material until we 'learned the ropes' and became   
   familiar with how it all goes down, and at that point start writing our Own   
   Original material - so much for that, but I dared to hope anyway.

   There's a desperate Need for Original Music that's actually *worth*   
   listening to,  In other words Fresh material with Genuine Meaningful   
   Substance, written in the  tradition of all the other great tunes throughout   
   time.   
      
   I regularly get to 'field test' my Originals and the response so very   
   promising! I've even been told be a listener that he thought that material   
   like that was gone forever and that the tune was already 'stuck in his   
   head'.   
      
   It's so Tragic that thanks to the all too Real Zombie Apocalypse, the term   
   "original" is regarded more and more often with scorn, disgust, and and   
   premeditated disappointment, because  it's so often totally devoid of   
   innovative creativity and Meaningful Substance...but I don't care, because I   
   know my material will send them a powerful message - that there are   
   'originals', and then there are ORIGINALS!!!   
      
   And because I write entire 12 track albums at a time, and have 3 of them   
   already written and demo recorded, I can think about looking forward to   
   going on the "Opening A Channel" tour, to be followed by the "Ignite The   
   Sky", tour, and then the "Through The Eons" tour, by which time, maybe the   
   fourth album, which is currently half finished, with only 6 more tunes to   
   go, will finally be complete ;)
