I’ve heard this band on the radio since I was a kid. Aerosmith is one of my favorite Rock bands. I was fortunate to see them live in 1994, during my Summer at Sandstone. That year, the band once again found itself at the center of the music universe thanks to a great studio album (“Get a Grip”), some great videos, and a certain young lady…

In retrospect, experiencing numerous Rock concerts as a teenager and young adult, along with working on construction sites with fellas 12-to-15 years older than me, helped me rediscover some really great music and riffs from days gone by, especially that of the muscle car-driven mid-‘70s.
