For a kid who drooled over the guitars in that magazine as a kid there is no bigger thrill to have achieved such a thing. Most importantly the 6 string electric guitar version, the Anti-Star VI, not only garnered a ‘Best Of NAMM’ from Guitar World Magazine but went on to win a platinum award from that very publication. I am currently playing my Anti-Star bass on the road right now. I was blessed to be able to bring to life both a bass and a guitar with my friends at Prestige Guitars in Vancouver. It continues to this day with new releases to come very soon. What started off as a project of sheer joy grew into touring and further recordings and releases. My brother, Brent Fitz and I along with our dear friends, Cory Churko and Shane Gaalaas released a loving tribute to our Canadian roots under the name Toque. In fact so many things occurred in 20 that I get confused on how, when and it what order they occurred. I immediately released a solo album, TKO, which was, in fact, a completion to my 2004 album, Go Time! which was truly rewarding. It serves little purpose to look back when the path only leads forward. On New Years day 2016 we went our separate ways and rarely looked back. Not even uncommon phrases.įrom my current vantage point the past couple of years seem foggy and blurry with so many miles traveled and so much ground covered both physically and otherwise.Ĭurrently sitting in a posh hotel room in Beijing, China supporting an album called Living The Dream with my brothers of 9 years, Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators it is hard to say if any of us knew we’d be together as such when last I wrote one of these… I don’t think either of those are common phrases.

So here I am without a clue how to start but to look back. Perhaps getting back on the keyboard is just as likely. With the new year comes that nagging sensation to get back in the gym. God knows there’s a solo album sitting half finished on top of a number of other projects for me to chase down. So why so long? No real answer to that question. I’m as surprised as you are to find me here. Yes it has been a long time since I’ve written one of these.
