"Follow You, Follow Me"

Stay with me, my love
I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side
If ever I need you...

Biography

Guitarist Daryl Stuermer has played on some of the biggest hits of Genesis' and Phil Collins' career, in addition to releasing several solo albums on his own. Born on November 27, 1952, Stuermer grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and took up the guitar at the age of 11. The usual '60s suspects served as initial inspiration (the Beatles, the Ventures, etc.), before Stuermer began studying jazz guitar (via Wes Mongomery and Joe Pass), and eventually, such groundbreaking rock guitarists as Jimi Hendrix and John McLaughlin. During the early to mid '70s, Stuermer was a member of local Milwaukee band, Sweetbottom, who made a fan out of Frank Zappa's then-keyboardist, George Duke. It was through Duke that an audition was set up for Stuermer to try out for acclaimed jazz violinist, Jean-Luc Ponty, which resulted in the guitarist appearing on such albums as 1975's Aurora, 1976's Imaginary Voyage, and 1977's Enigmatic Ocean, and its supporting tours.
