Zabrocki is Polish for "Really good guitarist"

Ron Zabrocki has been the most important musician in my career, He has recorded and performed live and onstage with every project I have ever been apart of(except for the Soca). His friendship and knowledge enabled me to produce music in the darkest time of my life. He is going to come out this weekend to the Rail and Jam. He has been a great friend to many musicians throughout the years....come and hear his wizardry and have 3 fingers of vodka neat.
