Know who is is. He once answered a newspaper ad from a Cleveland based band that need a guitarist. He got the gig. But he hated it. That Cleveland based band went on to be a one hit wonder. That hit however has become a staple at every wedding reception, high school prom, and general parties everywhere. He hated that disco song to his core, so he quit that band and started his own, to play what he wanted to play.

BTW, That Cleveland based band was Wild Cherry, and that disco hit: Play That Funky Music, White Boy...
