Diggin' into my music history/archive - KILLING CYCLE

Have recently been in contact with an ole friend and bandmate from my rock star days in KILLING CYCLE - Mark Morton. HE is currently preparing a project to memorialize that chapter in our lives and I have been digging into my archives for him . I found my first original typed lyrics for our recorded songs, and even an original contract! Crazy times- proud of this time of my youth. He went on the become guitarist in Lamb Of God, and I went on to become an experimental film artist. We have rekindled so many fond memories and it's been truly an amazing few weeks of reconnecting with him. KILLING CYCLE was our first love and where we both learned to write, collaborate, record and become seasoned artists moving forward. ..

                   Original Lyrics I wrote with my Smith-Corona typewriter (see below).
I look back at this stuff, and how I saved everything and worked so hard, and I can totally see how I would inevitably become a screenwriter, film score composer and film artist. I love 'creating'... and I now am reminded that I always did. I had forgotten about that.
