 Al, I just felt like writing this after I visited your web page.....out of all the musicians I have played with over the years, you, I enjoy playing with the most!!! You can post the following on your web page if you like :-)
 
I met Al around 1978 at the infamous Quack-Quack Bar in Asbury Park. He was doing a solo gig with his acoustic guitar and doing a great job performing some good old rock n roll. It was a few months later when Al asked me to bring my guitar and sit in and play some songs with him!!! My first live gig was in a duo with Al at the Port Hole..aka...Bar A......it was the first time I sang to a live audience and the song was "Lying Eyes" by the Eagles....geez...you think he would have picked an easier song :-)....... Well, 28 years later-- and I am still playing with Al-vis in the band Chik-a-boom, and we're sounding like two old vintage musician/friends together. Al taught me a lot when it came to music, especially when it came to the leads and styles by musicians such as, Eric Clapton--Keith Richards--Jimi Hendrix--John Fogerty--Chuck Berry and many others!! I co-founded my first band "Nightwing" in 1979 and have played in various bands since. Just wanted to write this to let Al know how much I respect his musical talent, and most of all his friendship!!!

Dear Al "Al-Vis::

     On your timeline you forgot to add that your greatest performance was in June, 1991 in the backyard of 79 Church Street, Manasquan, NJ.

You're a "Wild One."

 

     Great website. From your biggest fan,

“Just back from the Bruce show in Buffalo, which words can't describe. Now back to reality, and we ask ourselves...what other "other" really good, fun and meaningful music have we heard recently? The answer appears as a miraculous vision...the excellent performance of Chik-a-Boom at the park in front of the Convention Center July 4th weekend!!

  Who knew that Al Schnitzer was actually Jimi Hendrix revisited? Not just playing with his teeth, but playing REALLY WELL with his teeth. And the voice! Who'd a thunk it?! I still think it was some loop or something!! It honestly was a real treat to hear you, John and Steve together exploding on stage and a highlight for a quick revisit to Asbury. Nothing like the Jersey Shore Musicians and you guys are at the top! “
