I have been a musician for 34 years. I've been in many bands. I've played mostly in the Heartland but did a northeast & Canadian tour with my good songwriting friend, Peter Kovacs, who has also been on many of my original recordings as a keyboard player. Currently, I'm playing in a band from Cape Girardeau, Missouri called "The Thundertones" Ryan Matlock/lead vocals, Julie Arnold/Bass & backing vocals, Doug Brown/drums, Dave Pruitt/guitar & backing vocals, Clay Thomas/guitar & backing vocals. I've had a lot of help over the years with some talanted musicians & fans of my music. I am deeply appreciative to all that have helped me over the years by either playing music with me, booking me, attending one of my shows, or listening to my music on CD. I truly love music of all kinds. When I was younger, it was all about originality & creating new music. Now, it is just about music. My music, your music, our music. All good music is sacred & I love to create, learn, perform, record, & listen to it. We are all constantly evolving & growing as humans & artists. Thank you to all I've taken the journey with & those of you who have taken the journey with me. Keep rockin'!!
JUS' STOPPED BY TO SAY HEY & ALWAYZ, "THANX", FOR THE MOST GRACIOUS ADDITION TO YOUR SITE .......
GREATEST RESPECTS FOR YOUR WORK ............
ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MR>
