I first heard about Aldo Nova from a friend of mine Rusty..!! Rusty and his band worked with Lance Quinn at the Power Station in 1981.. He told me he would see Aldo doing session work for that album.. Also John Bonjovi was present during that time at the studio and i believe he was a fan of Aldo.. I used to go to the Main Event to see The Rusty Roades Band , Oliver's Twist , Dreamer , Prophet , The Game, Yasgur's Farm to name a few.. Later on in the mid 80s I played with Eddie Testa and the cruisers and was part of Jam 86.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMUtpU5kZK4 J.A.M.

The 70s was a great era of music and a great time to grow up in..!! Linda Ronstadt was a top notch artist of her time.. In this solo I highlight the different tonality in my Goldtop Classic Lespaul.. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCS19GTNH--gibson-les-paul-classic-2019-gold-top

Having some fun with this track in the second position on my 77 Strat , split coil bridge Bill Lawrence L-500 and Middle 57/62 fender pickup..

Great Band and Intro Solo..

Great Album and Solo..!! Back in the early 90s on a project of ours we hired Billy's drummer Bobby Chouinard.. He did drum tracks on our multi-million dollar rock opera called Keep Me Covered.. Bobby was recommended to us by Marketing Pioneer , Bill Aucion { KISS - Billy Idol- Billy Squier }.. The 21st century Tommy , Blade Runner , West Side Story rock opera had taken interest at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992 in france.. Bill Aucion and Rosemary his assistant represented us on the project in London England at the time... In addition to the project we also had another ledendary drummer Erik { E-Rock } Ferro preparing to do drum tracks on our Rock Opera.. Bill Aucion once told us we had songs with hit potential.We also had interest / consideration with Joan Waricha of parachute press for the book series RL Stine's Goosebumps in the early 90s to do the music for the project.. That being said in 2003 a producer from Rome Italy Roberto Guarnieri had taken interest in one of our songs "Peace Without Honor" and potential distribution.. Consequently in 2010 my writing partner and myself attended a memorial at the hardrock cafe in times square NYC for Bill Aucion the other Memorial was held at Lee Tub in Hollywood Florida.. Check out this link , in 2010 these tracks along with Peace Without Honor were concidered by a film company out of Easton PA that does war documentries on A&E and the History Channel.. https://soundcloud.com/nick-jeff-joe/3-day-patrol-nick-bellarosa https://soundcloud.com/nick-jeff-joe/shots-fired
