RSP #7 - Pissing off Barry Manilow with Tom Erak | Randy Meisner | Push
There are so many unknown musical legends out there, it's sick. What is always troubling to me is that those same legends rarely get their due, whether it's on a record (I know, because it's happened to me numerous times) or live.
Session guys rarely get the financial reward or the fame. It's a bummer, but I'm trying to change it a little, in my own small way. It's time for you to meet Tom Erak. A tremendous talent on the bass guitar, Tom tore across the musical landscape in the 1970's and 80's.
He's a stud on his axe and has played with the tops of the tops, on record and live in the studio. His son, Thomas Erak, has found fame as a guitarist for the mathcore band, Fall of Troy and is currently working with many amazing artists in his own right.
Long story short, Thomas wouldn't exist as a person or a player without the legend of his father. Tom Erak is a friend, and I consider him family.
