We hung around the same circle of friends and musicians and to make a long story short, we had different playing styles that never really over lapped. He gravitated to the harder speed metal sort of arrangements while I was under a more Progressive Rock, Jazz and to a lesser extent Pop genre.<\/p>\n<p>My sister and John were closer in age and they both were in the same grade at St. John&#8217;s College. Boy did both of them get themselves into a little bit of trouble as kids during those years!
