  • Bio

    .. Fuze is a modern electric jazz-rock band that creates all original songs and spontaneous improvisations. The sounds coming from this band can range from rock and blues to jazz and funk and many other influences that the band draws on as they create in real-time. Each player is versatile and a multi-instrumentalist allowing them to always find new territories to explore using keyboards, synth guitars, various percussion, and whatever else is at hand. .. In addition to their live jamming and improvisations, the band also writes instrumental songs and records their own music in a modern studio of professional quality. This gives them the freedom to always be creating new music without getting bogged down by going into someone elses studio. The studio has become an extension of their instruments. In 2002, the band release DiG, a self-produced CD with a collection of their best studio songs. In 2005, there was a member changeup with Craig moving to bass and Dave joining on lead guitar. ..

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN JULY ...

    Don't worry about summer's RECORD HEAT,

    the DROUGHT, and those high ELECTRIC BILLS ...

    “There's more, much more, to CHRISTMAS

    Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship

    That BRIGHTENS ALL YEAR.   It's thoughtfulness

    and kindness, It's HOPE REBORN AGAIN,  For peace,

    for understanding, And for goodwill to men!”

    MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS JULY MY DEAR FRIEND!

    Give the man some RESPECT Fuze!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS THE HUMOR OF RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...

    "I tell ya when I was a kid, all I knew was rejection. My yo-yo, it never came back!"

    "When I was a kid I got no respect. The time I was kidnapped, and the kidnappers sent my parents a note they said, "We want five thousand dollars or you'll see your kid again."

    "Last week I saw my psychiatrist. I told him, "Doc, I keep thinking I'm a dog." He told me to get off his couch."

    "One night I came home. I figured, let my wife come on. I'll play it cool. Let her make the first move. She went to Florida."

    "I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."

    "I was so ugly as a kid, my mother had morning sickness AFTER I was born."

    "A hooker once told me she had a headache."

    ~ Rodney Dangerfield

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

    LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!

    OVERCOME LIFE'S DIFFICULTIES Fuze!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES ...

    "DIFFICULTIES are meant to ROUSE,

    not DISCOURAGE. The HUMAN SPIRIT

    is to GROW STRONG by CONFLICT."

     ~ William Ellery Channing

    YARD BY YARD, ALL TASKS ARE HARD ~

    BUT INCH BY INCH, THEY'RE ALL A CINCH!

    Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way Fuze!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND TRUST ...

    "FRIENDSHIP - my definition - is built on TWO THINGS.

    RESPECT and TRUST. Both elements have to be there.

    And it has to be MUTUAL  You can have RESPECT for

    someone, but if you don't have TRUST, the friendship

    will CRUMBLE."

    ~ Stieg Larsson

    TO BE TRUSTED IS A GREATER COMPLIMENT THAN

    BEING LOVED!  WITHOUT TRUST THERE IS NOTHING!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Have a GOOD LAUGH Fuze!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE GENIE IN THE LAMP ...

    A man had just gone through a bitter divorce.

    One night, he discovered what appeared to be an old oil lamp.  He rubbed the lamp, and sure enough, a GENIE appeared right before his eyes.

    The GENIE, knowing about the man's recent divorce told him that he had 3 WISHES - on the condition that the man's ex-wife would be given DOUBLE whatever the man wished for.

    For his first wish, the asked for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.  Suddenly a briefcase appeared, and opening it up, the man discovered ONE MILLION DOLLARS in cash inside the briefcase. At that very moment, 2 briefcases suddenly appeared in his ex-wife's house containing a total of TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

    For his second wish, the man requested a new Rolls Royce automobile, and at that instant a brand new Rolls Royce pulled into the man's driveway.  Just across town, 2 new Rolls Royce automobiles pulled into the driveway of his ex-wife's house.

    The GENIE folded his arms and asked the man, "What is your THIRD WISH?"

    And the man replied, "GENIE, I want you to BEAT ME HALF TO DEATH."

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

    MY NEW CD "LOVE'S SWEET SONG" HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED AND IS AVAILABLE @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    Happy Halloween Fuze!

      
     
    "Darkness falls across the land
    The midnite hour is close at hand
    Creatures crawl in search of blood
    To terrorize yawls neighbourhood
    And whosoever shall be found
    Without the soul for getting down
    Must stand and face the hounds of hell
    And rot inside a corpses shell

    The foulest stench is in the air
    The funk of forty thousand years
    And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
    Are closing in to seal your doom
    And though you fight to stay alive
    Your body starts to shiver
    For no mere mortal can resist
    The EVIL OF THE THRILLER!"

     ~ Vincent Price in Michael Jackson's "Thriller"

    With LOVE and RESPECT my friend,
