Artist History Jim and Frank went to high school together at Valley Forge High School, Parma Oh. After a number high school cover bands (hi -- I've been playing guitar for a month, lets form a band), Jim left for college. Using a 4-track recorder, Jim began writing songs in his college apartment. Frank came down to co-write all of the songs on the Jus'Teasin CD. After 2 years of writing, Mike Politi was asked to join the project for the recording of the CD. Mike also played keyboards on Just Another Memory (and created the keyboard solo as heard on the CD --- giving him a personal contribution to the project.) The songs are party songs. They were written during a great time in the band members' lives. Each band member has moved on to other musical related projects. Enjoy the CD for what it is: 3 guys having a great time doing what they love to do --write music. Jim left the band in the early nineties to pursue other interestes while Frank finished up at Ohio State University. It was during this time that Frank wrote five additional songs and completed the second Jus'Teasin recording titled: Faded Photograph. Included in the second release are five new songs, a remix of the original Kamikaze, the final version of Faded Photographs, as well as a bonus song called 'Jack', which had been a fan favorite out at Lake James in Indiana. Frank also included a song called 'Touch Not', a self produced song that Frank wrote while spending time at the Lake.

Press Reviews The Jus'Teasin (self-titled) CD was released in limited quantities (we had no money, and it was on tapes at the time) around the Akron area (we had no means to tour) in the early 1990's. A few songs were played on WZIP, the local Akron U. station (Mike knew the manager),but a formal review was never done.
