Paul Reed Smith stopped by Thoroughbred Music in Orlando Florida on March 22, 1997 and played a full set of songs (approximately one hour) from his new CD that he recorded recently. He was showing off his guitars and answering questions regarding his products and equipment. Naturally there was a large number of PRS guitars with beautiful workmanship available for testing and admiration. I found him to be very friendly and easygoing, and a pretty decent guitar player to boot.

Paul Reed Smith's new CD [Shown Above] is a mix of solid rock and roll and blues. with Guitar/Vocals by Paul Reed Smith, Guitar/Vocals by Ralph Perucci (NY Session Guitarist), Drummer Timm Biery (who spent 10 years touring with with Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush) and Bass by Hugh Mason (NY Session Player). Its pretty good and definitely worth a listen. You can order it at the Paul Reed Smith Web Page.
