The Spark 

Some say you always remember the moment a spark ignites the flame to your lifelong passion.  For me it was when I was eight years old in 1964, lying on my parents living room floor, listening for the first time to the album "Meet the Beatles".  ​​

​

1960   - Growing up in Trenton, NJ

While attending middle school I met three individuals that would end up being my closest friends (Nick, Frank, & Tom). Together we embarked on a fantastic musical journey through several bands and several years. ​

​

1970   - Studio Time

In my early twenties, I met Tom Marolda.  Tom was (and is) a very accomplished producer/musician/songwriter.  We became very good friends and collaborators.  Tom co-wrote and produced my first demo album "Just Another Weekend".  Columbia Records was very interested in the demo and me as an artist. Two showcases later, Columbia politely passed on signing me and the newly formed band.

​

1980   - Road Warriors 

A new album and a new band of very talented musicians. Brothers in arms and battle scared, we played the Jersey bars of the eighties under the name Dash Weaver.  Scott Randolph, Keith Csolak, Dan Skye, and Steve Bross continue to create and play great music.
