I first met David Sparks when he was touring with Gyan. I remember him pushing past me in the crowd when he was getting on stage to play (ha!). I always loved his playing, and somehow I got in touch with him and asked him to join Crimes of Passion to replace our current lead guitarist.

What David Sparks added to many of the songs is unmeasurable, he always knew exactly what to add to lift the songs to that next level. His guitar intro for Hearts & Souls changed that song forever, and made it into a brilliant pop song which was far from where it was when we first played that particular song.

I would have loved to have David play on all the recordings of these songs given his huge contribution, but I lost touch with David many years prior unfortunately.
