Randy Wizek Ten Years In 20 Minutes CD

' Kind of somewhere between Don Henley, Bob Seger and Vince Gill with the song writing sensibilities to match. Since 1988 he has worked as a Drummer/Vocalist and Guitarist/Vocalist in various settings: • 'I'm a drummer/vocalist first and foremost...Most cats want to be out front with a shiny ax in hand. Though that's pretty sweet too, I've always enjoyed driving the bands' rhythm section... and its challenging to sing while sitting down at the drums. A different mind set completely.

' • 'I really enjoy playing guitar, and the rehearsal for every song whether a cover or an original, is a labor of love. Writing with an acoustic guitar usually, these songs herein represent the ten year period from 1993 to 2003. A lot of heartache but also a lot of inspiration went into each one. Unlike many songwriters I don't live each song, but there were some that I did: The love triangle of "Heartache Waltz" is but one example. But notice, it's a triangle that never comes to be. "Love of My Life" was written many months before composing as a "what if" scenario...What would it be like to be involved with someone that just took my breath away? I shelved the song and discovered it after a few months with a little surprise, then remembered my "what if" scenario. The song then composed itself in about 15 minutes.

'• 'Yeah... I've been pigeon-holed for sounding vocally, like that famous "Eagle" drummer/vocalist/songwriter. But if you're going to be aligned with someone, why not him, right? As to our sounding similar, certainly not on all songs...and though flattering; it's not a mimic job. It just comes out that way. As to a work/performance ethic, Henley has been a great role model, truth be told.
