Alyn Syms - The Cindy Chan Interview - Part One
Переглядів 2132 роки тому
I was able to sit down and chat with my favorite rock radio person, Cindy Chan, and bare my soul to her talking about my life in music. She is a wonderful woman and took the interview to a place I was both delighted and happy to go. This was filmed by director Stephen Graham in a recording studio. The owner and engineer is Alan Dusel. This is part one of a three part interview.
Alyn Syms at the Tralf - Arthur's Sword from The Lost Art ( 2004 )
Переглядів 2273 роки тому
The last unofficial performance of ASG in 2007. A loose jam but enough to show the firepower and improvisational skills of the fellas. Myself, Paul Mordaunt on Bass, Lenny Potwora on drums, and Peter Galus on vocals. We're playing Arthur's Sword from " The Lost Art. "

ALYN SYMS - STORMY MONDAY - LIVE at the Sportsman's Tavern ( HD )
Переглядів 6074 роки тому
LIVE at the Sportsman's Tavern in October of 2019. I must have played this song a thousand times in as many clubs since I started playing professionally in 1967. I played every joint, back room, back alley and many places where the dressing room was a nail on the wall and the light show was a red bulb in a coffee can you had to screw in before you started playing. But it was the best training b...
Alyn Syms featuring Clarence Bradley - Silent Night HD
Переглядів 9226 років тому
A soulful rendition of Silent Night. Clarence Bradley and myself started out together in the mid-sixties, essentially growing up onstage. We used play in bands together doing Otis Redding, James Brown, Wilson Pickett but Otis was Clarence's favorite. This arrangement is reminiscent of something Otis did with Steve Cropper on guitar. I think Clarence's vocals are superb.
Alyn Syms - Passion Play - from Black Forest - A Tribute to Jimmy Page
Переглядів 2427 років тому
One of my favorite guitarists and biggest influence as a guitarist, composer and producer. Passion Play is about the love between a guitarist and their instrument, which is similar to love in a personal relationship, with all of the positive and negative effects with one big exception. The guitar is always there for you and helps you weather the storm of personal relationships and anything else...

Alyn Syms - The Enlightened Path
Переглядів 2317 років тому
I wrote this song after being in a bad car accident in 2003. Seeing the sunset the day after it felt like my first. I wrote this celebrating life, freedom and a new heightened appreciation for the path that I was on. A new and better one, an enlightened path. I played it for a friend in the UK and all she saw in her mind was the American West in all of its glory, a uniquely American gift to the...

    Just awesome ! The first time I heard "Good Band Down" was on 97 Rockin Buffalo, and Cindy was the DJ. Since I didn't know the band I called the station and wanted to find out what band this was. She said... a band from Lackawanna named A.S.G.. So I visited Cavages and they had no idea about A.S.G. So I'd check every week awaiting some news. Well....the guy said it would be in next week. And boom..... ASG fan. Saw many of your performances and the were always first rate. Your shows we like a concert and not like a weekly bar band. First saw the band at Shea's Theater in Buffalo. SOLD OUT show. Always good to see and hear great Buffalo talent. And Cindy Chan, well...she's as classy as ever.

    Over 200 years ago, Fr Joseph Mohr, a priest from Salzburg, composed a poem for his Christmas Service. He wished that it be put to music, so he went to the only musician in town, Franz Xaver Gruber who added the melody on his request. Gruber's instrument ... a guitar. So this is how is how it sounded on that night. Played perfectly by my friend Alyn Syms and sung so beautifully by Clarence Bradley beth
