Thank you. Someone else on the board here recommended Savatage to me a couple years ago during another round of Who Do You Love Besides Jim? I got one of their CDs and you are absolutely right. Paul O'Neil recycles a number of his riffs just like Jim does. And like Jim, it's always a pleasure to listen to. I'll have to check which Savtage album I have and follow up with some more. I've just been too swamped to really take time off.
However, I do have a recommendation for anyone interested. I went to the Breaking Records web site to order the Karine Hannah album and while their came across another band called Lourds. (There also is a listing for Lourds End but I'm not sure it's the same band.) I listened to several of the song sound bites and really enjoyed them. They remind me of a rougher edged version of Scandal, for those of you old enough to recall that 80s band. I bought that one also and am enjoying immensely. For what it's worth.
Later.
