Hi there. I'm Stan Cotey and I've been lurking around these parts for a while, happily reading, checking out new and old artists, and generally being immersed in music I've loved since I was a kid. I've played some of it too along the way and perhaps some of it has made it as far as here - from Giraffe and Kevin Gilbert in the '80s, 'sort of' Giraffe at Progfest in '94, to the fun Shaming show a few years ago.
So why am I here, now? I'm looking for prog coconspirators somewhere near Phoenix where I live to meet for prog beverages, talk about the music and see about creating some of it. I play guitar, keyboards, sing, write, record and mix and at this point (what you'd call zero) I'm open to any ideas or other instruments.
As far as what I'd like to do, I really like symphonic music but am not particularly drawn to trying to recreate the '70s. I also love Zappa and some fusion. I would eventually like to form a band/recording project with the idea of releasing music and playing the odd gig here or there.
So, anybody in my neighborhood interested in checking this out?
