The most dismal, disappointing prog album in the history of the universe.

I'm sure that most of us have picked up an album or a CD because we thought that the cover looked cool, or saw who was playing on it and expected to find some rare treasure, only to get it home and…Continue

Biography: Separating the facts from rumors and half truths about Paul is difficult.

What is known is that after acquiring the King Crimson album “In The Court Of The Crimson King” in 1969, Paul became obsessed with the desire to sculpt low frequency sound waves. Throughout the ‘70’s he performed in various cover bands, experimented with the Brian Eno & Robert Fripp tape Loop system and began crafting original music. Founding member of the progressive /art rock groups Vasil Zook and St. Elmo's Fire in the late '70's. After the demise of St. Elmo’s Fire in 1981 the story becomes much murkier.

Some say that he had been abducted by the Mujahadin and was forced to labor in the caverns where the mushrooms grow in Afghanistan for most of the ‘80’s. Others have reported that he moved around the western Great Lakes region in search of kindred spirits. A few photos have surfaced that purport to show Paul playing on some of the stages in the Raleigh NC area in the late 80’s. In the mid ‘90’s he was seen and heard with the band Brain Forest in Raleigh NC.

There have been rumors that during the late ‘90’s he was seen in the central mid-west touring with a country band. Others have reported that he was allegedly photgraphed near the Korean DMZ and may have been doing intelegence work for a large multi-national corporation. It appears fairly certain that since 2002 he has been busy playing bass and a bevy of other curious instruments in a variety of musical endeavors (P3, Kill Tim's Grass & 20 Years Gone) in the central NC area. He is also working towards breaking the International Land Bass Volume record.
