----------------------------------------
"Decay & Decadence" is a bi-annual all-day jam featuring local musicians (Long Island, Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Pennsylvania), of all skill levels, covering our favorite hard rock/heavy metal/classic rock tunes.

The inaugural event was held in June 2019. This is the 13th rendition of it (11th for me). The group takes a majority vote as to what songs make the cut (35 this time), then musicians are assigned to select songs.

This event was in tribute to our fallen brother in metal, Mr. Larry Forman, frontman for Jackpipe (RIP)

For D&D13, I played guitar on 5 songs (^)
