An engagement with Millie Jackson spurred his desire to have his own recording band called "Legend". This led to professional recordings with Ricky West (Kool & The Gang), Marvin Sease (Candy Licker), Kenton Nix (Heartbeat), and most recently Jeff Smith (Family Stand). Work on a Japanese commercial titled (Never Give Up Your Dream) fulfilled a dream. While playing on the streets of New York in 1991 he received his first opportunity to travel to Paris, France.

When not doing corporate events, weddings filled in the open dates. Quite a stir was caused when two high profile clients wanted the band for the same time period. But contracts prevailed and Jerry Seinfeld's sisters' wedding won out.
When Quincy Jones needed entertainment for the wedding of Courtney Ross widow of former CEO of Time Warner off to Italy went the Eturnity band. Dignitaries such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Steven Spielberg were present. It was a honor and a pleasure when Patti Austin and James Ingram joined them on stage to do a number.

Originally from Miami Florida is one of the areas most exciting guitarists. Recording from Miami to Daytona Beach for Artists such as Maddax, Mistreater, Dimension Giver, Ball and Chain Blues Band, Double Barrel Band, Larry Long Project, Silent Thunder, Muuks and Have-Not-Music.

Beyond being an accomplished studio guitarist, Ralph is also an accomplished song writer and arranger. He started out playing guitar and performing at about the age of 3, there was a time when he played a mean string bass and he also sings, but his specialty is making his black, road weathered Les Paul (known to friends as "Mad Max") whistle and sing through a screaming Marshall. "Ralphie" is most known for his outstanding live performances.

When Ralph is not burning up the fretboard, you may have seen him burning up the streets in his '73 Mustang convertible, "Silicone Sally." RIP




  KEN SLY BASS PLAYER

Kenny got his start on the bass at a jam session at age 14. He was blaring along as the trumpet player, then grabbed the bass only to pluck out a groove for the "real" bassist and never let it go after that. The jam went all day and night and the trumpet was blown away by the bass. Kenny discovered his real deal in music making, and bought that bass a week later for $50.00, the best investment he ever made. Having to beg his parents, he got an amp too. Kenny lived in Puerto Rico and Latin music was the norm, but 12 years of school on a US Army Base allowed him to borrow records and jam with many of the "stateside" kids that had music from country to heavy metal and many islander musicians turned him on to jazz and "fusion" of sorts. Kenny's exposure to so many varieties and styles gave him a mixture of influences which he incorporats into his own brand of bass playing... Listen and enjoy. Kenny Sly credits a recording on a nationally released album.
