It took a while to get,but here is Paul's bio.


I was born and raised in South Jersey and starting playing the guitar around 1978. Main musical influences are Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top & Jeff Beck. I'm also a big fan of Frank Zappa, Rush, Genesis, Yes, Tori Amos, R.E.M., The Moody Blues, to mention a few.

I've known Shawn for over 20 years, and have played in various bands with him over the years. Most notably, we teamed up with Jeff and a few other guys and played in Nutin' Fancy from 1985-87. At the time, one of our "rival" bands was Asylum, with whom Bob and John played. After an 8 year stint in the Navy, I returned to New Jersey in 1995 and began playing again, finally regrouping with Shawn, Jeff & John in 1999 to reform Bad Influence. Eventually, Bob joined the lineup and after trying out a few singers and realizing we weren't going to get anybody decent, we settled for Chuck.
