I have a diverse musical palate, with an appetite for many different genres and styles. However, I most enjoy guitar-centric music, so Rock and Metal are my “go-to items” on the menu. Maiden, Priest, and Sabbath are my favorite traditional Heavy Metal bands. Maiden is probably the best at infusing classic literature, world history, and social commentary into its music; a veritable history class… The band’s vivid imagery and legendary artwork also helped tell each tale, deliver each lesson.

“The bugle sounds, the charge begins…” Steve’s galloping bass is unmistakable!
