    He played bass and shared vocals (the high stuff) with David Coverdale

    I started on a LtL one a while back. I figured it would be a great
    way for me to learn to play the song and (of course) it was. Then I
    got to a point where I'd decided to put in some drums. (AAAAAAAH!)
    I completely fear Mike's drumming. Trying to put all that into my
    keyboard almost fills up the polyphony. :) After spending countless
    hours air-drumming the tune down the freeway, I might be able to give
    it a whack again, sonce I know how some of the parts go Good luck
    on that ACoS one. You've got bigger balls than I do. :)

    Someone who at the end of the last jam was cracking on Dragon Attack
    for being too "wanky' :( (This is *why* I like it, and why
    I liked Working Man, too. Who wants karaoke?) asked about a
    few people. Robin McAuley used to sing with Michael Schenker's
    MSG, which got changed to "McAuley-Schenker-Group" for a few
    cds there. I liked them. That tune "never-ending nightmare"
    was cool. Glenn Hughes, whore that he is, has been everywhere
    from Purple to Sabbath to a quickie on the Marc Bonilla cd.
    Plus he has his own stuff, most of which I think comes from
    Japan. Tony Franklin, he of the farting bass II, I thought was
    in Blue Murder, and of course the Firm. I could be wrong about
    the BM thing, as I don't have any of their material. I thought
    I remembered seeing him there... back to your Sunday morning pancakes.

    actually, dont bother checking tunnel, not only do they not carry items in
    stock, they dont even offer to get you guitar talkin' any more. they had it
    listed at one time, but as of now they've removed it from their cd-bank for
    some reason... the search continues...

    Firstly, it should be EllioTT with 2 T's, and secondly, you did read this
    correctly, but it only means that he will be going home on this day, after
    the tour, NOT playing in Long Island.

    I had read a few jams ago that a few people were trying to get the Lie
    CD single. Well, I saw it today at the store and picked it up today for
    something like $11 just for some lucky jammer. Will forward it along
    for my cost plus shipping. For US, that should be about $15 (check,
    cash, MO) packaged and postpaid, first class. First e-mail gets it.

    Great tale - as the proud father of a 10 month old boy, it's the sort
    of story that makes my heart go gooey.

    When my own son, Samuel , was born, I was playing a tape of Images and
    Words in heavy rotation. In fact, my wife, my baby, and the nursing
    staff heard it many times during a 27 hour labour. One of the midwives
    went away a fan - too early to say for Sam, but I think there's hope.
    Seems to show a preference for Sepultura (Roots Bloody Roots) and
    Pantera (Fucking Hostile) so far though!

    for 25 bucks and by the time the jam came out it was way too late... a word

    "Dinosaur" and "Walking On Air" that weren't released on "B'Boom".
    I'm asking $25 for it or best offer.

    I'm tired of doing homework, so I'm going to take a study break and
    review some stuff I've gotten my hands on recently.

    +Live+: Secret Samadhi

    It's passionless. There's no emotion behind the music. It sounds as if
    they just went through the motions of playing, for the sake of getting it
    on tape. The songs aren't poorly written, just poorly performed. As
    usual, I have no idea what the words are about.
    C+

    Galactic Cowboys: Space In Your Face

    Wow! This is one great album. The very first notes just grabbed me.
    This album has everything I want out of music. Heavy guitars, really
    catchy hooks, incredible harmonies, and humor. It's speed metal with
    great singing. I didn't know people could do that! Downside: the two
    hidden tracks on the CD are fucking annoying to get to. Good songs, too
    bad they're so buried in the extra tracks at the end.
    A

    Collective Soul: Disciplined Breakdown

    I don't like Collective Soul, and I finally figured out why. The songs
    are ok, the instruments are performed well. The melodies and hooks are
    catchy enough. But there's only one thing that sets CS apart from all
    the other bands out there playing this type of music, and unfortunately
    it's a negative. I can't stand the production. It sounds so sterile!
    The guitars sound as if they were recorded by plugging them into the
    board, with no amps. Guitars are supposed to sound threatening, vital,
    alive. Even Jewel's guitar sounds more like it's there in the room with
    you than CS's guitars sound. And there's a lot of electronic percussion
    and stuff that I really don't like. You're a rock band. Use drums.
    Anyway, I think if you already like CS you'll like this album. I just
    don't.
    B-

    Spock's Beard: Beware of Darkness

    Oddly enough, when I first got this, I was disappointed. But I was only
    disappointed insofar as comparing it to "The Light." More songs, shorter
    songs. They didn't grab be as immediately as the songs on "The Light"
    did. But after about the third listen, I got it. Or, rather, it got
    me. It hasn't left my CD player since I got it. Killer harmonies, great
    songwriting, and those analog synths just give me goose bumps.
    A+

    Spock's Beard: The Official Live Bootleg

    This was recorded at ProgFest 95 (or was it ProgDay? I can never
    remember). It's just amazing. The four songs from "The Light" and
    "Thoughts" from "Beware of Darkness." There really isn't anything more
    to say.
    A+

    Brad Gillis: Gilrock Ranch

    Any album that can combine the guitar pyrotechnics of Brad Gillis
    (ex-Night Ranger, ex-Ozzy), the keyboard wizardry of Derek Sherinian, and
    the vocals (on some tracks) of Gregg Allman this seamlessly gets high
    marks in my book. Add to that the drums of Michael Cartellone (ex-Damn
    Yankees) and Carmine Appice (ex-everybody) and a couple of other stellar
    musicians, and you've got a recipe for success. And it paid off. Brad
    and Derek wrote some great tunes, especially "Opus Winfrus." Some of
    these tracks actually have a hint of prog in them. If you like 80s
    guitar heroes (and who doesn't?), Derek (and who doesn't?), and the rest
    of these musicians (and who doesn't?), and you like this sort of
    instrumental stuff, get this disc.
    A

    OK, that's about it for now. Feel free to e-mail me for more in-depth
    info on any of these.

            as the recident finneus gauge "guy" here, i can tell you that no
    cd is out.

            they're in the studio (well, chris's studio) recording the
    album. they have 12 tracks ready to go to record (i think they have
    more, but they're only going to do MAYBE 12) now until may.

            remember, they're playing next week at ORION STUDIOS in
    Baltimore. D-Man and I are going down to see it (this'll make time #1
    for him, time #3 for me) so if any of you want to hang before/after the
    show, lemme know.

            as for still, chad (ghost) tells me the albums' done. the
    release party is supposed to be next month in philly. now, as for "what
    still sounds like", i'l very disapointed. i heard a soundclip of a song,
    and it was horrible. that could just be the one clip, but if you want
    tht echolyn sound, go to finneus.

            if you want allthe latest news, go to www.ghistland.com/finneus.html

    Hey, folks. I'm going to be on the Island for Spring Break starting
    Sunday, March 16th. We all have to get together, hang out, cause
    trouble, that sort of thing. So, everyone mail me, and we'll figure
    something out. Heather, Rachel, Chambers, Bonez, and anyone else that's
    going to be in LI that week, let me know, and we'll go out and do
    something wrong.

    Jordan & Rod have their CD coming out soon (I hope), Kip has a solo album,
    Paul probably crawled in a hole and died, and wasn't Reb touring with Ozzy?
     I thought I heard that somewhere...

    A couple of you guys have been asking what is up with Rudess Morgenstein.
    I have been written to him, and asked him for an update, and here is
    his response:

    _________________________________________

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for letting me know what's happening out there. Here is where we
    are at with the Rudess Morgenstein Project (RPM) ;

     The album is recorded- mastered and ready to roll from a musical
    standpoint. . The delay is in negotiations with this one particular record
    company . AAARRGGG!!! It all takes to f--k--g long. We would like very
    much to go with this company , so we are working it out. Meanwhile, Rod
    and I are moving ahead as we deal with it all. We have been meeting with
    the graphic designers concerning the CD cover and internal graphics, and
    are looking to have that completed in two weeks. We are hoping the deal is
    in place by then, but if it's not we will begin to organize an independent
    release (we will do it) while we look for another deal. I would say that
    within four months we will have it available. Maybe sooner.

     I had an idea that I should bounce off you and our friends at YTSEJAM.
    I'm thinking that while we wait for the record company B S to be resolved,
    I could burn some custom CD's myself of the album. It would be a CDR that
    Rod and I could autograph- it would have no formal graphics at all, but
    would be a one of a kind collectors item kind of thing. It would have to
    sell for more than a factory type CD because of the nature of what I would
    have to do to make them myself.. Maybe if I hear back that a reasonable
    number of people are into it, we can do that so as not to keep people
    waiting to long. You can mail me and let me know the response, or people
    can write me directly with there thoughts. I have not posted anything on
    my site because I didn't feel there was any definite word on whats
    happening. I am however re-organizing my site in the next couple of weeks
    to better inform fans and friends what is happening. I'm going to have an
    update section that I will refresh every week or so, as well as concert
    schedule posting.

     By the way I'll be performing the first live performance of "Switched on
    Bach" ever at the Beacon Theater on April 5th with Wendy Carlos and five
    other synthesists. Should be pretty awesome. Also Rod and I will play at
    the Berkeley school of music in Boston on April 1st coming up. There will
    be more shows in the northeast around that time and I'll let you know
    exactly when I get the details.
     Musically,
    Jordan Rudess

    Thats it. Thanks, and let me know what you guys think of the CDR idea. I
    am personally interested.
