Stephen B..."The Bassist"

In May of 2008, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with a colleague of mine from "back in the day". Bill Pascali was a member of STEAM in the 1969-70 years when I was in a group called UTOPIA PARKWAY. We played the same circuit in NYC and found each other almost 40 years later in Lakeland, Fl of all places.

Here I am sitting in with "The GHOSTS OF ROCK & ROLL". Bill is on keys with Jaybo Key on guitar and my "rhythm section brother" Pug Baker on drums. Also sitting in, but not well seen, is Tommy Zvoncheck a brilliant touring pianist who played with Blue Oyster Cult among others. This song was a request and we figured we'd give it a shot. Not bad for an unrehearsed tune.

I think at some point, every musician gets a chance to be in a "Beatle Band". This was mine. I did a brief stint in a group called "The Lads of Liverpool". And afterward, I stole the drummer, Daryl Leoce, to work with me in my current project ORANGE SUNSHINE.

In this video from January, 2010 we do one of my favorite Beatles tunes , "The Night Before" from the movie "HELP!". Battling a sore throat, I got through it. Though it certainly isn't my best work vocally...LOL!
