About Me:
I guess I'll get this out of the way first. I'm an all eras fan and Hacketteer. I'm probably an all solo fan as well though I have not yet heard everything from the many faces that made up Genesis over the years. Other than that music and movies are a big part of my life and I like a wide range of both. I have an interest in all/most artforms (theatre, paintings, sculpture, architecture, etc...). I have (but don't practice much (if at all)on a drum set and bass guitar. If anyone is interested in having a guitar contact me - it's nothing special but it works fine. I thought I should also mention here that the mixes to the left in my playlist are not mine. They are done by a very talented individual known in this community as theknife, enjoy!

Christmas for the Genesis Fans!

Ok this is an awefully silly post but didn't want to waste everyone's time by making it a discussion. If you'd like to discuss though please feel free to do so. Ok getting to the point I have two actually First, since I have no where else to put it really, I just have to share with you all that while jamming out to Los Endos on the WIR DVD earlier today I noticed that shaking a newspaper around sounds an aweful lot like the sound from "Steve's guitar sound" you hear just before the drums come… Continue

Life's been good to me ;)

Hello all it's me Bill/SpctrlMornings back again with a little update in my neck of the woods. Times are certainly tough for me (financially speaking), but I'm staying focused and doing what I can to get by. As most of you know I lost my job at Highwood back in April and unfortunately had to make a pit stop for my big future plans. Listening to alot of Genesis/Steve solo music has helped keep me sane during all that has transpired over the past few months, and getting out of the house has helpe… Continue

It's in your eyes on July 4th

Ok so I was celebrating my July 4th as I have done so for awhile now 1. Cookout with the family 2. Then off to a friend's house for more food and beer 3. Then to the local festival to watch the fireworks display And to my amazement (and I had to share this with all of you) during the fireworks they played the live version of "In Your Eyes" (it made the fireworks just that little bit more enjoyable for me lol) Has anyone else heard something from Genesis, while celebrating their 4th of July rec… Continue

Hi, Bill!! I just wanted to stop by to thank you for your comments on my crazy Genesis tale! I'm so happy you liked it and caught all the references! I figured you'd like the Steve stuff best; I thought of you when I wrote it! Thanks again for all the inspiration! I am gonna look it over and after writing individual letters, I will send it off to each of the boys (on the same day)! I hope they won't think I've completely gone off the deep end and ban me from ever seeing them or ever coming to Europe! o.O*

I hope you're doing well! It's almost Friday! YAY! I can't wait! :D Take care, Bill-meister. ^__^

Hugs from the cornfield! ;)

Aww, glad to see everything is going well for ya! Keep those future plans in sight! I'm just glad things have worked out for ya. ^__^

Oh, dude, take your time on reading the fanfic; it's not like it's going anywhere! Read it at your leisure. I just wanted you to know that it's done. :D

Enjoy your DVD, too! I never got a fanclub DVD (I don't belong to the fanclub... *sigh* :*(), but I've got the regular WIR, and it's SOOOO amazing! I know you'll like yours!

Catch you later, keep on rockin', and thanks SO MUCH for the inspiration! You're the bomb! :D

Yo, Bill! I just wanted to pop by and tell you that I am finally DONE with the superhero fanfic! It should be up sometime tomorrow morning/later today (whatever you prefer), so keep an eye out for it! I hope you'll like it. ^_^

Hope all is well for ya, buddy! :D

Yeah, yeah, yeah, live Rush, whatever... isn't it enough that I now own most of the Hackett catalogue? Isn't it?? ;-D

Hope you're doing well, Bill!! :-)

LOL! Hee hee, I thought you'd like that. I have 3 (or maybe 4) Steve songs on there... they're the only ones I know! ...wait... I don't think I put "Star of Sirius" on there. !!! How could I forget?! I love that song!! I need to add that very soon... Haha, oh, well, I'm very glad that you like my tunes. :) Aww, and thanks for the compliment on my long ramblings about my irrational love for the guys! LOL! Glad you liked reading it! I wondered if anyone would, hee hee. ;)

"Used to do more than that" ... HMMM! What do you mean? Did you play 'air guitar' on the highways? Or maybe 'air drums' on the freeways? Or maybe even 'air didjaredoo' in town? Wait a sec... none of the guys play a didjaredoo... or DO they? o_O*

Glad to see all is well with ya! :D I told my goofy friends at 'home' (I moved a week and a half ago) that I was writing a fanfic, and they immediately made fun of it. "What are they gonna do? Come out in their wheelchairs and roll over them?" GRRRRRR... >:C

*sigh* No one understands... -_-* ...Well, except you and everyone else on here! Thank God for this site! :D

Hey Bill! M's M beat me to you, but I also wanted to thank you for joining the Singing Drivers group! Truth be told, she came up with the group; I just came up with the name (based on PC's "singing drummer" description.)
At 8:30am on August 1st, 2008, Mike's Mechanic said…
Hey, Bill! I saw you got your singing butt over to the Singing Drivers group and joined! Good to have you on board! ^_^ I also love your top 10 list - great choices, especially the 'adrenaline rush' songs. Now... how fast are we talking about here? Do you drive so fast that I should probably avoid entering the state of PA? ;)

Haha, thanks, you should seriously try the 'new' IKWIL lyrics; I do it very often, especially when the windows are down and I'm in a town of some sort. HEE HEE HEE... >:D

Oh, and remember that Genesis superhero fanfic? I'm working on it! It's actually coming together! *shhh* Don't tell anyone, but the major reason I posted that 'most annoying music artist' discussion was to get ideas for more super baddies! ;D I have... 2 or 3 that aren't listed, but they're too funny to NOT use! ;)

Well, I hope everything is going well for ya on the east coast! Have a Steve-tastic day! :D

Haha, aww, Bill, thanks! I'm glad you liked it and didn't think it was creepy. o.O* I didn't even know you were a fan of Superman! YES!!! :D I remember when my crazy older brother and I would watch the cartoon series of Superman (I think it was "The Batman/Superman Adventures" or something like that) together on Saturday mornings. I still do every now and then.

You know, I was thinking last night before finally going to sleep... what if the G boys were superheroes? There would be Super Steve, of course... I'd have to think of the others. HMMMMM... I smell another fanfic! >:D

Oh, and I checked out your page, and I gotta say, I think it's STEVE-TASTIC! I really like the colors and layout, and people will definitely be able to see whom you admire the most! Good work, Bill! *'respek' knuckles!* ;P

Okay, Bill. This is just for you. I know it's not really good, and I hope it doesn't give you nightmares...

*gasp!* Hey, what's that in the sky? It's a bird... it's a plane...

It's... SUPER STEVE! :D

Oh, that's okay! The site used to freeze on me all the time when I had my ol' archaic computer in college. ECK! @_@*

Let me know when you think you have the finished project, would ya please? It's looking great so far. In the meantime (in between crazy spurts of packing), I'm gonna work on something special for ya! :D
