Lyrics by Arnold Michael Valentino
Uploaded 9 years ago
How long have you been playing?
Forever.. since age 5. As a child, I remember waiting for the organ to warm up. lol It had the most annoying fan noise and constant hum. The organ sound would gradually start up/ become louder and turn on. Also.. the bass guitar LOVED IT!! age 11.. I remember learning music by picking up the needle off the record and playing it over and over. I played the bass so much..I started playing with a guitar pick, just so I could hear myself late at night. lol And.. played the soprano (horn) as a child for a number of years. I was deathly afraid of my music instructor.. we all were. Thanks.. I think.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
As a child, watching television as far back as I can remember.. seeing different acts/bands thinking... I want to do that.
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
Connecting/sharing with other musicians all around the world. Universal.. well, let's start smaller... globally. ;)
What gear do you use?
Currently -Yamaha, Korg, Nord, Apple and Roland Products. I've always been a stickler for reproducing/sounding as best I can. Also love working with/in graphic art/ imagery, and video design.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd - Classical music.. the passion..
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
How many bands I've been in? First band was at the age of 12. Drum and Bugle Corp... age of 5. Various bands.. also as a "sub/fill in" for hire. Pretty much all "rock" from 50's to semi current. Ya like that "semi current" term. ;)

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Would love the opportunity to work with Trans Siberian Orchestra.
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Not sure....but would be happy playing to arena size right down (or up) to singing/playing with just my daughters.
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
Anything from YES.. will never get tired of listening to them. A close friend of mine knows... should I die first.. to play the song "soon" from YES at my funeral/sevice. I guess everyone knows now. lol As morbid as it sounds... it's really the opposite.
