| 1. Your 'Under Construction' CD got some good reviews, how's it going with
that album? |
Things sold very well! And here and there people are still hearing about it
and wanting to purchase it - I am also including signed photos now with the
order.
|
| 2. How did you get to team up with Michael Schenker? Didn't you tour with
MSG? |
Yes! I toured with MSG- it was a lot of fun! Michael and I met at an Eric Johnson concert (where Amy was singing / playing guitar)
|
| 3. How easy was he to work with on the album? |
Michael was wonderful and gave me such creative expression and we got lots
of laughs and we worked together quickly and smoothly - seemed many and
often times, our minds thought alike on many ideas. |

I am currently working with Doug Stapp and we hope to tour with this project

| 6. Going back, when and why did you first pick up a guitar?
|
I picked it up around age 14 and still have the very first guitar I ever played! I loved the way it felt in my hands and thought: "I would love to
play this!"
|
| 7. What were you listening to then? And who are your main influences?
|
I was listening to Kiss, but did not have too many influences that I remember - I had a couple of favorite players however.. Randy Rhodes, Uli
Roth, Eddie Van Halen..
|
| 8. What was it like to meet people you grew up listening to? |
Amazing!
|
| 9. Is rock'n'roll still a male dominated scene?
|
Seems like it..and I have to work extra hard..But I do think that in the TV
industry, music and most things are male dominated, and most likely always
will be.. That's OK, but I wish they would do away with the commercials and
embarrassing ads towards women that are always all over the TV ! I feel
certain that if the industry was FEMALE dominated, these disgusting ads
would be far and few between.. just my opinion, but, I could be wrong..?
