This is the song that gets me out of bed every morning whistling and dancing. Inspired by the song "MaƱana". It's full of drive, keeps building energy and then it lets loose in the solo.more
This track closes my third album which is a tribute to all my guitar heroes of the 80's. This song in particular is a mix of Y.J. Malmsteen and George Lynch's styles. Mr. Scary meets Mr. Baroque.more
