Not knowing what the salary is for a progmetal keyboardist, somebody not so well known, but exquisitely talented is a must. The wish list would seem fun enough.
Domi, Joey Izzo.

I like quite a few Beato videos, he has a good understanding of theory. And he is unapologetically passionate about the music he loves. I mean who else gets giddy about an AC/DC riff, and then gives...

Hope fully folks get to hear this release, it truly is a masterpiece, a timeless, ageless. I could easily use this album to define "progressive" music.

With great pleasure I have been following Lyle 's music for a long time, he is an extraordinary talent. Yes he is an excellent guitarist and composer and his work with Frank Black, Bourgious Tagg,...
