iPod, iPhone, iMac......iCorey

Ok, I don't know how many of my readers know this. But back in the day I was a serious musician. I loved music, I still do to a certain point. I started playing guitar my senior year of highschool and by the summer of 2000 I was in a band. Of course things changed in that band. But around the fall of 2000 we had a singer (Jason Preece) Guitar Player(Me, Corey Harris), a Bassist (Kory Arcidino) and a Drummer (Danny Hoover). Boy did we think we were the shit! Well fast forward to present day and the only one of us that followed our dream was Kory Arcidino. His band "The Becoming" signed a deal with Tooth and Nail records and they have released their debut album Vol. 1. I hate to sound so corny, But I am so proud of Kory. He had the determination to go out there and realize his dream. I am proud of his band too. I think it is so great that some one that I know has found their dream and made it happen. 

As you all should know by now, I am a believer in making your dreams come true. I myself have been able to become an accomplished Magician and Professional Wrestler. I am also a decent musician, But will probably never play in a band again. So the fact that Kory made it, makes me happy. I only wish this for the other members of the old band (Primal Illusion) the same success. 

I think the best part of Kory being successful in the music business is the fact that all of us in the band used to give him such a hard time. Kory was just starting to play bass, and we used to tease him constantly. I remember on so many occasions making him cry. We were such jerks to him. What I always found odd though was the fact that when it was just Kory and myself, we got along great. Never had a fight by ourselves, But put every one else in the mix and it got rough. Maybe it became a dominance thing. I mean hell, I supplied all the equipment besides Kory's bass gear. I supplied the Drums, P.A. Mic's, Place to rehearse, etc.... Hell things got so bad between all of us that I actually got kicked out of the band because my grandmother was about to die and I couldn't make it to practice. But that was a conspiracy for a while when I was replaced when I had to take a break from it. Still no hard feelings, Though I am more comfortable talking to Kory still than I am the others. I feel the others are the ones that stabbed me in the back, not Kory. Hell, Kory was the go between there for a while. I would have loved for things to been different, but every thing happens for a reason. The breakup with me happened so I could become a Professional Wrestler, and for the band to grow as a band.
