I used to do Acoustic shows in Glens Falls, there was a place called Savannah's that I used to play. I found the tape and had to slow the speed down and eq. This was an instrumental I wrote in a basement. It was relaxing so I called it Waterfall, I tried it out a few times then...

after graduation from High School, I moved to Long Island with 4 other musicians. This was one  of the songs we were playing called You're Gonna Like It. It's poorly mixed, but it may be the only decent copy out there to remind us of those days. 

Gonna Like It(mayhem-Long Island)

another version of an original I wrote, this time with 4 friends playing to it, giving it another dimension. Recorded on Long Island, Deer Park, NY Knockoutt Rehearsals. Scot Wood on vocal, Alan Vecchio on superb lead guitar and background vocals, Scott "Smitty" Smith on bass, James Domino on drums, and me on guitar and background vocal faintly in the background. 

Another Tomorrow(Mayhem)

I'm not trying to copy Hendrix, I was trying to copy Brian May... I used to be in chorus in High School(oh back in the 80's) . One day I took home sheet  music and played each part on guitar. Recorded each track separately on a 4-track. It reminds me of the soundtrack to Flash Gordon..

Star Spangled Banner

When I was like...15 I wanted to be another Joe Satriani , an instrumentalist. This was me in 1985 trying to create a musical head trip. It's before I ever joined a band, just me, a 4-track, a guitar,and some delay. As I listen to Yngwie's first album, I think I was trying to emulate Black Star, lol 

Euphoria

This song was written in 1988 or '89, there's elements of our favorite metal bands  all over it. I was trying too hard to be Geoff Tate. ANYWAYS...after settling on Long Island, this song was recorded and played out a few times. I was going for the songs of hope thing, a guy trying to muster up the courage to take a big risk and move to chase a dream. Alan Vecchio is brilliant on guitar .Scott Wood is on guitar although faintly mixed in the background. Scott Smith does a fine job on bass too especially in the middle. James Domino shines on the drums too. This was probably the best recording we ever got unfortunately we couldn't get the funds to do it more professionally. It's great reminder of happy days for us. 

You Can Never Tell(Mayhem Long Island)

A composition done on software synths, with some sound effects from a video game...I made this somewhere around 2000...

Space Dance

spent a good part of 2004 going to an open mic night in Saratoga, NY. It's not going today, but when it was it was fun. Garland Nelson used to play congas there, and I asked him if he would play on a cover of Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band. For fun I threw in a segment of a Marvin Gaye song..in the middle 

Grey Street(DMB cover) -Jeromie Charpentier

While promoting a song I wrote in 2011 called 'Something's Got To Change', I was lucky enough to score a radio interview  through facebook friends. It's a phone interview that describes how things went down, and then the song.
