The song 'Black Diamond' - sparked the desire within my soul to play guitar ! 'Rock Bottom' - The Melodic intro just gave me chills up and down my spine : Ace & Paul on that double-neck 'Rules', because they opened the door which led me toward the 'inner-realization' of how ones soul could be 'expressed' on the 'Guitar' far more 'eloquently' than words could ever utter ! The problem was that my parents would never share the same 'feelings' I felt for KISS or 'Alice Cooper' or 'Hard Rock & Heavy Metal !' And In order for me to Play & Learn the guitar - my best friend 'Walt Blaze', would sneak up in my attic at night with a copy of a Les Paul in one hand and Kiss Alive I ! And the Alice Cooper Show ! In the other. And so, he began to teach me how to play by ear. However, the struggle was that he was and is 'right - handed' & I on the other hand was and is 'Left - Handed' so, therefore, I had to learn to play completely 'upside down' and I still play that way to this very day. Of course my music 'influences' as well as 'diversity' grew. For example, the band 'ANGEL' ~ Punky Meadows, had a very powerful impact on me and my approach to 'style' as well as 'melody' and then, I also began my 'obsession' for the 'classical style' because of the band 'Triumph' - particularly 'Rik Emmett' - The album 'Just A Game' had an enormous influence on me & my playing ! And of course 'Jimmy Page' from 'Led Zeppelin' - At that point I wanted to be able to play 'Classically' styled phrases & lines and yet still be very much in the 'Shock Rock' or 'Acid Rock' genre 'stylistically !' Although, once I had been exposed to 'OZZY' with 'Randy Rhoads' then and only then had I truly found not only my direction but, my passion as well !
