Group Participation in writing our material
I really want to clarify, the HUGE part that both Doctor C and Gary have in writing our material. I believe, I am credited as the "composer" of our songs, but without their input.......the songs would not be the same. Being the bass player and drum arranger is a natural combination. I can create the riffs used and send them a file of.....uh???....what sounds to me, like.....not much. The feel and sound that Doc creates with his orchestrations and chord usage, are all his perceptions of what I send him. What I hear when I get his samples back, is usually far from my thoughts, thus he has helped write the song. What Gary then adds, is usually even further away from my thoughts. I have to say this, because I feel we ALL write the songs....and I am not a sole composer. Because of the nice reviews we've received, I feel I owe Doc and Gary......a whole lot of credit. They have brightened my musical life immensily. THANK YOU ALL, SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!!! Doctor C - Keyboards, orchestration, engineering, song arranging, mix, editing and keeps me in check and somewhat calm Gary - Lead guitars, song arranging and keeps me sparked up Rob - Bass, drum arranging, initial compositions, vocals, and occaisional other stuff, and begging these guys to keep working with me :D Rob

This is a really cool statement Rob. -- A great expression of a gracious and noble attitude. Also, i can ditto what you say about Doc and Gary. Fine multitalented musicians- with a keen sense of taste in composing- i love their work, and distinctively appreciate Rob Grant's Vocals, Bass and productions.!!!
Gary has allowed me the chance to play around with his track Eye of the Storm. It's awesome,, anybody who hasnt gone to hear it on Carciello's page yet,, should try and get a moment to do so. In working with the track, i've had a chance to hear the version without Doctor C's keyboard additions, along side of the version with Doctor C,, and i've enjoyed realizing the perfect taste in which Doc has composed organ and keyboards into Gary's guitar based original.
Rob Grant and the others, all seem to me , to be fine composers in their own right- but each has the humility and coolness to be able to get a fluid blend of talents when joining forces.
sincerely
