My music is my second love... it's never lied,cheatted, or walked out on me...and it's just me, and a drum unit nothing else.or NO one else...hope you like it. Did you know this about me. ? I was born in a small village in up state n.y. I come from a family of 9...that's me #9...7b's & 2g's...yes the baby of the family...my real father had just died 3 month b4 i was born...r.i.p. Dad...he was 32...my mother had her hand's full...2 year's later...my mom gave my brother Marty up for adoption to my aunt joan...i never blamed her for that...for i was to young to know... when i turn 10...i got my very first guitar... and in the fall of 68...My mom taught 3 of us boys how to play...i played for the very first time in front of 200 kid's...and sang the song called, Wendy...who wound of known in just a few year's later i was playing in front of 300 people or more...in 8th grade...i had won my first talent show... a year later i wrote my very first song called...Bonnie... in 1977 it was time to get a job...so i went to Rome, n.y. but in just a 1.5 yrs...i had a bad accident... i had lost half of my right thumb...I was just 21 yrs old... i thought my music career was over...i didn't want to play anymore...i hated everything...and everyone around me... but because i loved music so much...i learned how to play the guitar all over again...i had just lost 11yrs of my life... yet in my heart, i could still feel that love for music inside me... with just the 4 finger on my right hand...i knew it would take time b4 i would play again in front of a lot of people again...so in 81 i came back to upper n.y area to find my music Roots again, and try to get back what i had lost...i started a small group called..try-rock...just 3 of us... until one day at practice...one of my old friend's came up to me, and said... Dude...your ready. and with the blessing of the 2 other guy's who agreed that it was time for me to move on... i was on my way...they had helped me achieve a gold that I never thought I would ever reach again... thank you my friends...so i joined a band that we called... Kickback...there i found my new home a place in life.. i was very happy again...so after 11 year's of very hard work it began to pay off...just 3 months later we were playing out...all i wanted to do was play until i dropped...i knew that i was back...and yes like anybody who has played..and fought so hard, i finally had made it... as a boy growing up...all i wanted was to be a Rockstar... i think everybody has had there own dream's before... well that was mine...ok...so i never made it...but i have made a lot of good friend's...and now that the year's have past me by...i have no regrets...for i still have the heart,the soul, and the magic to play music...ty mom... for giving me life...and all the music that i have... and all the music that i'm yet to write...my mom just past away 9/13/08...she was 80... so now at the age of 50... i have wrote 16 song's... and i hope to write a lot more...or whatever it takes... i have just one gold left in my life...I hope to sell just one song and make my music life complete...and leave a mark in my life... it's not about the money...for i have none to give... and none that i want...I am the creator of 'Slop-Rock'...'Slop-Rock' is a style of music for us people who never made it big, or just wasn't good enough... That's me... p.s. now at the age of 59. I had about 30 Song's in all. and I hope to write more... Sorry if i've bored you my friend's... Shadowkeeper...
