Album Notes

I have been recording melodic rock n roll
since I was seventeen and my sister Leslie was twelve. My first album "Spiders in the Night", recorded for Kama Sutra is still considered a cult classic and has gotten excellent reviews as recently as 2008, on DrasticPlastic and playitagainmax.

In 1980 Leslie and I recorded "Opportunity Rocks n
Rolls", which got an excellent review in Rolling
Stone.
We could not come terms on a recording contract with
the majors, and we recorded independently until
1986.
The music that we recorded during the 70s and 80s formed the basis for our 2000 2CD retrospective "Somewhere Near Pop Heaven".

In March 2001 Ed Ward wrote a Sunday New York Times Arts and Leisure section cover story on us and the making
of our retrospective album "Somwhere Near Pop Heaven".

After the Sunday Times Arts story appeared, "Somewhere
Near Pop Heaven" received a four and a half star
review on allmusic.com, written by Thom Jurek.

In 2003-2004 "Somewhere Near Pop Heaven" became a
surprise radio hit in Croatia. The song "Someday
Forever" legitimately went Top Twenty.

In April, 2007 I went to Media Recording and
with my friend Steve Young produced my new
album "Hold Up the Sky", which was finished in
May, 2008.

Leslie sings multiple background parts on the
album.

I am very proud of it.

Ken Tucker reviewed "Hold Up the Sky" on NPR's 'Fresh Air'
on September 17, 2008. I want to thank him for the
great national review.

In the October issue of Rock and Rap Confidential,
legendary music writer Dave Marsh called "Hold Up the
Sky" 'remarkable'.

On the December 16th, 2008 NPR "Fresh Air" , Ken Tucker
chose "Hold Up the Sky" as one of the Top Ten albums of
2008.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98327691
