In the Beginning

In those long ago but never forgotten times in Hamburg when I first bumped into Ron Howden, I knew we had something special going on when we started jamming in the daytime hours at the Star club.

I have always loved rhythmical music and I guess my style of playing guitar shows that. Together with Ron who is a very rhythmical drummer it was a match made in heaven, as the next years of album productions would show.

I was never big into guitar solos; in fact I tried to shy away from them as much as possible in favor of rhythmic playing. Give me an acoustic guitar any day.

With Ron and I truly locked into each others styles it really didn’t matter who else was in the band because as yet I had never met them, however, it was of great surprise that the bass and keys players were of a distinctive style of their own and it seemed to gell quite well.

Got there eventually

Well I was told to start a blog as it would help promote the band Nektar..so this is the start
