Richard Scotti	3/9/2011 3:41:45 PM Welcome to IAC! Your resume is amazing and so is your song. I'm eager to more! I'm a fan of all different kinds of music but Classic Rock is my thing although I do venture into other genres at times. My instrumental, "Broken Sky" comes closest to Heavy Metal. I hope you enjoy being at IAC. Come by my page when you have time. I have some of the best singers in the business singing on my songs. Obviously, a subject you know well! "Brother John" is my fav song that I've written and is about John Lennon.
