I was making real good progress andreplied back, 'Not sure, why aren't you playing any Billy Craig then I got stuck on a couple of songs that I wasn'tsongs?' so I went back and sent him the song 'Believe' and quite sure about.

G-Note- So, what's going on with Brownsville Station? @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine BC “There has been a lot of talk about doing something this summer, but as of this interview, nothing is finalized but I will for sure let you and your audience know. I will say it's a great show to do as a guitarist, if you think about it, Brownsville was AC/DC before AC/DC. It’s a hard rock show and5it|'sPjuastga e www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

blast especially in front of 10, 15 or 20 thousand people, man it just a lot of fun!”G-Note- So would you go out in support of ‘Believe' and your current library of music if you don't do anything withBrownsville?BC- “If I get the opportunity to do it, for sure, it's tough to get support of the radio stations and promoters. The bigplayers in the industry pretty much decide who, when and where someone can play.”“I really want to get in my studio and just write music, I love doing that, I want to be 100 percent on the music side. Atthe end of it all, it's about the creation of music and the whole process of it.”G-Note- What can you tell me without giving a lot away, about your new, soon to be released album?BC-” I think as an artist, you are always looking to find your voice so to speak, what I mean is you want to find the soundthat is identifiable to you. When you listen to the first 3 albums, I feel like they were my developmental albums and I feelthat the new one I can say without really saying it, I have arrived at a sound.”“I think the new album will best reflect the representation of my sound unlike the previous work before this from a vocalside and the song writing and the whole package over-all.”A great example of what I mean is, when you hear Tom Petty, he is the only guy that sounds like Tom Petty, Neil Young,same thing, as soon as you hear them sing, you instantly know who you are listening to and they own it. Another one forsure is Bob Dylan, who doesn't recognize Dylan when you hear him on the radio, without a doubt, one of the greatestwriters ever maybe not as much on vocals and he is still going strong.”G-Note- I wonder, just using your examples, could a Bob Dylan or Neil Young or Tom Petty compete and win one of thetalent-based reality shows?BC-” Nope, not even a chance, I was just thinking about this too the other day. In my opinion, shows like the Voice,American Idol, Disney Channel, I think ruined the music industry. There is a completely new and different expectation ofwhat a singer is and does. Have you noticed all of the classic rock bands are older musicians.”“Nothing against Pop music or Rap, but there is not the same sense of musicianship as there used to be, again in myopinion. They are using loops and get a drumbeat off the keyboard. Everyone likes what they like and It's about musicalexpression, to each his own.”G-Note- It does seem to me that those shows may be shutting out talented people with a dream and maybe a last shot atsomething they are deeply passionate about because they don't conform or fit into a TV type of package like Neil Young,Tom Petty, Bob Dylan.BC-” Art is not a competition! You can't have singers compete like they are in the Olympics. Look at the artist that havemade it really successfully as a whole from the these shows. The exceptions are Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry, CarrieUnderwood and a few others but really, who can name all of the winners of all the shows?”G-Note -Do you think it's a case of be careful of what you wish for if you do become 'famous'?BC-” Absolutely, all I can go by is my own personal experience, there is a tremendous energy and kind of a high when youtake the stage and when you are done, the crowd screaming at you and asking for your autograph and such but the verynext day, no one is there, it's tough. You really have to learn how to handle the highs and lows of being a 'Rock Star', andthere are plenty of them.”G-Note – Billy, at the end of it all, isn't the dream or the goal to have a song that is 'It', the song? The one that everyoneknows and sings and the one that keeps on playing for generations that supports your family for generations?BC- “You know it, that's the thing, you really don't know for sure. There are a lot of people that have some say in how, orwhen or if your music gets played. Of course, it's my wish and my dream to have the song 'Believe' become the 'One' forme and my family. You work so hard and do all the stuff you have to do as we talked about earlier but so many thingsthat have to go your way. There are so many barriers to overcome, and there must be the radio station support and youalways will wonder...Is this the one, is this one the breakthrough to where my great grandchildren will say 'Grandpa Craig,was a guitar player and he wrote a lot of great songs!”“All I can do is ‘Believe' that it is.”b6illy| cPraaigmg [email protected] about.me/craigbilly twitter.com/Billycraigmusicwww.G-NoteEntertainment.biz @GNo teEntCeorptyariignhtmGe-NnottMe Eangteartzaiinmeent, LLC February, 2018

All of these activitiesAnaheim California on January 25th-28th. and programs are designed to promote music making for people of all ages and to help create a more musical world.*The NAMM show is the NAMM, the National *Content from www.namm.org G-Note- Looks like you had a great time at the NAMM show, how do you get to participate in that? Dr. Scary -” The NAMM show is similar to the Auto-Rama show but this is strictly for the music industry and I get to play at the booths of the companies that sponsor me like “Lizard Spit guitar polish and Black Diamond guitar strings.” “It was great because you get to meet a lot of very cool people and rub elbows with some well-known 'Rock Stars' like the legendary bass guitarist, Rudy Sarzo from Quiet Riot, Whitesnake and Dio. Don't get me wrong, it's very cool but it is a lot of work too because you are always on your feet.” “But I did really like the after-show parties at the places like the legendary Whiskey -A- Go Go and House of Blues if you wanted to drive to L.A. for that and they had some after show parties right next to the convention within walking distance, all in all it was a great time.” G-Note – Let's back up a minute, how did you get the nickname “Dr. Scary?” Dr. Scary- (Chuckling) “Well, I've had that nickname since 1988 and that's what most people know me by and here's the story behind it. I was playing in a band called D-Day, and me and a buddy was on our way somewhere and my buddy Jimmy had this blonde girlfriend with big hair and everything and we're all cruising in this Trans-Am down the road and she makes this statement that 'when you play, your fingers move so fast that you scare me'. I'm a shredder, and Jimmy looks at me and I see the light bulb go off over his head and he says 'we're going to call you Doc, Doctor Scary' and back then D-Day was a popular band in Southwest Michigan, they played some bars but mostly outdoor shows and parties drawing typically 500-800 people to a show before I played with them, so the name stuck and that's what everyone calls me now. When we were getting our stage names for HairMania I told them, don't need one, already have one. Come to find out there are a few other Doc Scary's out there as well, like Docta Scary, and there was a older dude – punk rock guy from California that builds amps and guitar pedals. I met him on the old Myspace years ago.”@GNoteEntertainmentMagazine 9 | Page www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

G-Note – From what I have been able to uncover about you, you have played in a lot of tribute bands, let's talk aboutthat for a few minutes.Dr. Scary -“Yeah back in the 80's and 90's you could actually make a living traveling around from town to town but notso much today, one of the bands I was in was called Mr. Crowley, a Ozzy tribute band because I'm a big Randy Rhodesfreak, that also got me my first endorsement with a guitar sting company. ““In the mid 2000's I started to record with my original music with Myspace back when that was the thing, this guitarpickup company out of New Jersey found me and I have been with me now for the last 12 -13 years, they treat mewell.”“Then I was in the band 'Slap Maggy” who is actually my ex-sister in law. We were sponsored by Jägermeister and wehad a 5-year deal with them at the time. We played in Wisconsin, Ohio and all over Michigan, some of the guys in BlackSea Burial were in that band.”G-Note- Let's talk about what you are now and the bands you are currently with.Dr. Scary -” Black Sea Burial like I mentioned I've known for a long time and we rarely if ever, rehearse. We all knoweach other so long that we are very comfortable with each other and the songs. Black Sea Burial is a three-piece groupthat plays everything from George Jones to Pantera.”“HairMania has a huge catalog of songs that we can play, we did a lot of practicing when we first got together, and ourfirst show was for Toys for Tots in Grand Rapids, Mi. and it kind of exploded from there. We had opened up for SkidRow, Dennis DeYoung from STYX, and several others, it's a lot of fun when the audience dresses up in their 90's get upand play the part right along with us.”“We just got a new drummer, and our first show together will be at Shakespeare's Lower Level on Feb. 17th, so we areall pretty excited to roll out the new line up.”G-Note- What do you like better, cover songs or instrumentals?Dr. Scary -”I love covers but I really love instrumentals, because of guys like Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker. I reallyenjoy playing what it is that I hear in the head and in my heart.”“I sometimes hear something like my instrumental, “Fingers Of Flight” and that's the riffs or rhythm that gets stuck inmy head and I have to let it out and it seems that a lot of people like that song, I had 10 thousands hits on that song onMyspace.”G-Note- Do you ever get the chance to play your original songs during the shows?Dr. Scary -” No, it really doesn't fit the show with the bands that I'm in, but I have been asked on occasion to do it. Butit's not all about me or me wanting to show off, so I just play the show as we do.”G-Note- Since you do all the classic rock songs from the 'hey day' that featured the front men, where are they all at?Dr. Scary -” You know there are still a few of them out there, but you're right. It's like the guys like David Lee Roth,David Coverdale and Bret Michaels have all gone away, that's why we do what we do, we're all a bit of ham on stage.”G-Note– What would be the 1 thing that people would be surprised to know about you?Dr. Scary - “The thing that surprise people about me would be that by trade I am a welder and fabricator, I build things.You always have to have a backup plan...just in case.” Copyright G-Note Entertainment, LLC February, 201810 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazinewww.G-NoteEntertainment.biz
