actually a class performance class that were together for a year. Four peice guitar band two electric and two acoustic. We performed an instrumental number by a band named W.A.S.P. (I do not readily recall name of song). I also did an impressive rendition of Jeff Beck's "Big Block" off his late 80's album guitar shop. Started experimenting with keyboards as well. We had an elaborate stage set up and had professional musicians fill in the performance with other instuments.

Gideon Sessions - Mechanicstown, Ohio USA

| Composer, Performer | 5/1/1995 to 8/12/1995
|
Helped and encouraged original song writing. We litterally borrowed stuido equiptment and recorded three songs that had been written, some previously and some just prior to recording. We played every night for a captive audience and turned the band into a step in the right musical direction for each of us. It was a paranthetical in my journey, but a very strong and meaningful milestone.

Chapel Band - Canton, Ohio USA

| Guitarist | 2/25/1995 to 12/25/1996
|
Large 7 peice band with 2-3 person sound team. We performed every Thursday night for a growing campus crown that swelled from under 25 to over 400. Occassionally we played a chapel band gig before the entire school. Most of us involved ourselves with the Copperhead studio project and did much work at Muses studio every week. Much synergy took place as everyone tapped into the creative side of things to compose origianl music. Every week submitted an origianal song recording, jingle or video.

Started playing garage bands and graduated to performance for private parties and auditioning with local acts. I continued writing songs that are far buried and doubtful to ressurrect, but have some recordings called "the Dalton-McCoy Effect" which was a three peice studio band with a "Meddle" Pink Floyd sound that impressed parties. During the Witmore Park years we formalized "Kashmere, Misty Mountain, Houses of the Holy, and Rock N Roll" by LedZeppelin.
