It all began sometime in the summer of 1977 hanging out at my best friends house with him and his older brothers. After my friend and I had thouroghly taken advantage of the "Spoils" of his brothers party we placed the stylus down on one of the most magnificent records ever recorded, Boston. After ten seconds I was hooked, and never before then or since then for that matter has anything ever compared to the first measures of More than a feeling. Please understand this, I have painstakingly addicted myself to Boston and not only the music but the meaning behind the music the message of Boston.
After eight long years of waiting and wearing out multiple copies of the first album and Dont look Back, Third Stage was released in 1987 and the Tour followed. At this time I was an aspiring vocalist and novice musician and I knew that I had to perform this music in my lifetime as it seemed to be written for me. In July of 2003 I married my soulmate and bandmate Yvonne and knowing me as well as she does, she purposely moved our wedding schedule ahead so we could see the Boston concert that evening that's right on our honeymoon! We were both fortunate enough to get to meet the band and I fulfilled a lifelong fantasy by meeting and talking to Brad Delp, Boston's lead vocalist and my hero and musical mentor. By the summer of 2006 I decided to take on the impossible, I was going to form a Boston Tribute Band. This is where the frustration began holding multiple auditions and rehearsals to find the right musicians to take on the challenge of re-creating the Boston Sound. In March of 2007, I recieved the devistating news of Brad Delp's death and although I was very saddened by this, I became more determined than ever to fulfill my lifelong dream, and Honor his memory and the magnificent music of Boston the only way I know. To have the Best Boston tribute Band ever to grace a stage. THIS IS FOR YOU BRAD and all the TRUE BOSTON FANS, Lets keep the music ALIVE.

Hey Bill, I heard that you got to sing with Fran and Anthony Cosmo Friday night at the KC Power and Light District. WAY TO GO!!!!! Wish I could have been there.
Awesome show last night, you guys sounded really "together" and tight. Foreplay was especially good! Too bad about the feedback, we know it was the fault of the sound guy. Can't wait to see you again! Take care!
Thanks for the add... While working today I ran across something that made me stop and think... hmmm...
