Greetings folks!

I hope everyone is getting thru covid-19 intact. It still has put a damper on my activities, but has provided some time to catch up on stuff. As promised, like 8 years ago hahaha... video from Mastermind's Progscape '94 concert, November 20th, 1994. That's 28 years ago, today!! I actually remember most of it pretty well.

This is the full show Playlist, 90 mins in all. Not the highest quality, but a fair historical record of the original Mastermind line up. Read the blurb on the Playlist page for more info. This was the first live performance of the Tragic Symphony album and a fair snapshot of what we were about at that point.. It has it's moments! I hope you enjoy.

In other News... no other News! Well, maybe.. I am working on a new album, the first new material I've written and recorded in 10 years and think it's quite good. Not Mastermind, but rock with some depth to it, maybe? Not guitar instrumental music either. I intend to get it out there somehow early next year. Wish me luck!

My Brazil band will be playing at least one festival next April, but that's all that's on the book at this point. It is making me kind of CRAZY not playing!! I hope to do SOMETHING about that soon. Before next April. Again, wish me luck!

OK cheers from Brazil! TTY again soon(er or later)!
