Domenic Troiano Guitar Scholarship
After Domenic Troiano passed away on May 25, 2005, I was asked by his brother Frank to assemble a group of guitarists who would oversee the applications for Domenic's Guitar Scholarship. It is such an honour to be a part of Domenic's legacy. The group of judges includes myself, Alex Lifeson, Rik Emmett, and Kevin Breit. We are very proud to be included. You can find the link to the Domenic Troiano Scholarship on my Links page.

New Rush book
There's a Rush book out by Jon Collins called Chemistry. There are some great stories in it, including the story of the birth of The Orbit Room, The Dexters, and "Big Al" Dexter. The book is released by Helter Skelter Publishing. I'm proud to have been interviewed.
