After some intense rehearsals, my band and I are ready to rock Japan. First Freddie Nelson and Tony Spinner came to Portland to rehearse with me and work out our guitar parts and vocal harmonies. Then the three of us flew to L.A. to rehearse with Kevin Chown (bass) and Thomas Lang (drums.) The nice thing about rehearsing is that... It works. The band gets tighter, and my own playing gets better and easier. 

Zakk Wylde happened to be rehearsing next door to us, so it was good to see him too. He is one of the modern masters of vibrato... an accomplishment that I always admire.

Rock and Roll!
