So you're probably wondering, who or what the heck is Dream Theater.

I talk about them a lot yet you know so little of this love of mine. Dream Theater is a band that hails from New York originally. They became a band in 1986 when 4 of the 5 original members were students at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. Since then, they've gained and lost members to have the following lineup:

K. James Labrie, vocals 
John Petrucci, guitars
John Myung, bass
Mike Portnoy, drums
Jordan Rudess, keyboards

 This is a less than current picture of the guys in the band. Left to right: John M., Mike, Derek (old keyboardist), John P., James.

Why do I like Dream Theater so much?

Their music inspires and motivates me. The combination of well-written, beautiful sounding music and meaningful soul-reaching lyrics just can't be beat. I know that sounds cheesy but it's all true!

 

In addition to the music, I've noticed an interesting connection between me and DT.

Notice the circled item at the bottom of this picture; it says November 16. That is my birthday. This picture is the back of the pamphlet that comes with the "A Change of Seasons" cd.
