Sitting inside The Vault at The Play Room in Charlotte Eddie Zee said, "We've all had what Abby is singing about. An it should have been me moment." In all walks of life music plays a huge role in how we're shaped into adults. During those steps we're either listening to, watching or making the beats that somehow become the soundtrack to one or millions we'll never meet. I didn't know at the age of 16 that forty one years later I would meet another 16 year old with the same passion to put music to work. Not just in sound but through the vibration of inspiration. I was that kid that spent unheard of hours staring at KISS posters trying to figure out their unseen personal image. Captivated by the mystery and inspired by all things possible, being a member of the KISS Army meant I had to hit the road with more than a dream. In all things I do the mission was to tell the story of every singer/songwriter and musician that somehow got to be more than normal kids plucking away on metal strings. Gene Simmons not only played a huge role during my 40 years of radio but through the presence of music he's made a huge impact on Abby K's journey and sacrifice. My first meeting with her felt like a mirrored image. Across from me was every musician at 16. The ambition, drive, loyalty, determination, dedication and willingness to reach far beyond the presence of all things right now. The shyness was a place we've all stood. Only to hear that she changes once the eye makeup is laid into place upon a face that will soon crack the concrete walls that currently keep great Rock from being the fad favorite. At 16 I too hid behind images in a band called Painted Face. There's something about those masks musicians wear that enables the creative spirit to withstand the pressures of being compared. Once inside the shoes of music the world feels good again. Now lets sing. The world is ready for Abby K. The wait is over.
