IMPROVIJAZZATION Nation Review of Inertial conFusion
Quoted from: http://zzaj.freehostia.com/Z106Reviews.htm
CD's that have me playing on them don't often get reviewed here, but when multi-instrumentalist Tony Belcastro latched on to a few of the tunes I had up on my "Track Madness" project (27 solo compositions by me (still) available for download and remix), it was an instant conclusion that his final product would get reviewed here. Tony's masterful and energetic guitar work on Lava Flow West just can't be easily dismissed... excellent! Of course, my ears were jaundiced toward pieces like my comprovisation, In Harm's Way... Tony added percussion and drum tracks, as well as some superb (and fluent) guitar that will blow your ears away! We both had a lot of fun with Harpsichord Swirl (another one of mine), too; but it was the strong-rock-oriented Once Over the Edge that "took it to the limit" for me... my absolute favorite track on the CD. If you haven't listened to Tony's work before - you'll want to NOW, folks; though it's not "pure jazz", it has elements of the ebb/flow that transcend labels. I give this one a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.96.

I AM AUTISM
I am autistic. There is some debate over whether my diagnosis should be labeled high-functioning autism, or Asperger's Syndrome, as the diagnosis really can go either way based on my history. I prefer to refer to myself as high-functioning. My doctor just refers to me as being autistic. Others just seem to assume that I have Asperger's Syndrome because I can talk and am not always mute. My Autism-Spectrum Quotient is 45 out of a possible 50. I don't consider autism to be something I have, but something that I am.
