They hadn't played together in close  to 6 years, but after 20 minutes of their initial jam, it was obvious  they hadn't lost a step... Ron remarked that even though they been away,  it felt like &quot;second nature&quot; to be playing with his former band mates  again... and the name stuck...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;To write a complete history of the forming of this band would fill a  book... the short version is as follows: Rob, and Ron, were both  professional club band members, doing sessions and covers for the better  part of the last 20 years in various groups. Both have extensive  performing and recording credits. Mike, on the other hand, had played  for more than 10 years in (exclusively) original groups, and had much of  the same recording and performing experience. Their initial meeting was  in a progressive original band Rob had formed, &quot;Scarecrow Messiah&quot; in  2002. Rob owns a mobile project studio (see DCRP &quot;digital chemistry  recording and productions&quot; here on Soundclick), and while playing in  various club bands, had also been writing and recording his own music.  He found Mike first, and knew instinctively that Mike could contribute  that &quot;thing&quot; his music was missing... with the addition of a vocalist,  drummer, and 2nd guitarist, Scarecrow Messiah was born...after some  &quot;growing pains&quot; with their lineup, he was forced to find a new drummer.  An extensive search locally was made, but it was a weird twist of fate  at a coffee stand where he found Ron... they continued on as Scarecrow  Messiah, to critical acclaim, and ended up winning a &quot;battle of the  bands&quot; leading to studio time for the band, but... as a lot of groups  go... the fire went out, and they went their separate ways...Fast  forward a few years... Ron had gone back to his Christian progressive  rock project &quot;Passage&quot;, Mike to his ongoing project &quot;Pirex&quot;, and Rob:  back to club bands, tribute bands, and, learning the art of  recording/engineering/producing... &lt;br /&gt;In the interim, he recorded several dozen songs, including a  critically acclaimed instrumental rock guitar album &quot;Reach&quot;.  &lt;br /&gt;While involved in an &quot;ACDC&quot; tribute, started writing some songs with  that bands' lead vocalist... people thought they were cool, but when he  played some of his own stuff for the same people, their reactions told  him which way to go... and, he'd matured as a musician to the point he  felt he could sing, and play the material to it's full potential....  well... now he needed a band... Ron and Rob had kept in contact over the  years, collaborating on various songs Rob was working on, but were  never able to find a bassist who measured up to the kind of player they  knew they needed... finally, they contacted Mike, who had been  experiencing some problems with his group, and felt that maybe a change  was what he needed... After 20 minutes of jam session, they knew the  magic and chemistry they had before, had never been lost... after 6  rehearsals, they recorded their EP &quot;Machine Made Man&quot;, and are actively  preparing for a long and fruitful relationship as &quot;Second Nature&quot;...  their future is very bright indeed...&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
