      Paul's videoclip "The Visitor" is progressive rock with an insane stunt at the beginning: He throws his guitar up in the air and catches it . . . don`t try this at home nor anywhere else. . . but it certainly looks COOL !!!

      Paul Hanson is a very inspiring guitarist. His new CD "Orchestra" is really awesome because it features showtunes and standards gone shred . Paul Hanson is on MySpace and hosts the internet radio "Boss Broadcast Radio" at www.bossus.com , www.boss.us
