A combination of some or all of my influences and Mark Gosney. You tell me by sending me a note!
I started playing music (The Piano) when I was 6 years old, and played it exclusively until I was a teenager. I then bacame interested in rock music and started playing my moms acoustic guitar and the rest is history. I played off and on until I was twenty three years old, which is when I started getting serious about it. I played eight hours a day. I started takeing guitar lessons from Darin Morris who is a GIT grad where I studied with him for about two years. I then met Joey Taffola the Shrapnel Recording artist through a friend and I took lessons from him for over two years. Under his direction I worked on my right and left hand technique, I worked on my sweep picking and studied the applications of arpeggios, modes, and other theoritical things to rock music.
Hi Mark Gosney, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
