Rock At Night speaks with veteran musician Greg Armstrong, who has been performing and producing music since 1985. He first had the privilege of seeing Ronie James Dio when he was 19 years old, which inspired him to be a rock musician (although he performs various styles).
Armstrong recently completed a 7-month project to reimagine Dio’s song “This Is Your Life.” He collaborated remotely with musicians around the country, including Robert Mason (Warrant) on vocals, Todd Sucherman (Styx), Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Brian HBK (Hairball), Tommy Barbarella (Prince), Matt Kirkwold (Majesties) and veteran producer Chuck Alkazian. All proceeds help Dio’s Stand Up and Shout Foundation cancer fund.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE
Who cares what came before?
We were only starlight
One day then nevermore
Because we’re whispers in the wind
♪
Once upon a time
The world was never blind
Like we are
Right now it seems
You’re only dreams and shadows
If wishes could be eagles
How you’d fly
This is your life
This is your time
What if the flame won’t last forever
This is your here
This is your now
Let it be magical
♪
Who cares what came before?
We’re only starlight
Once upon the time
All the world was blind
Like we are
This is your life
This is your time
Look at your world
This is your life

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
