Unfinished Business band leader Ed Miller spent years as an FBI agent, but what he always wanted to do was play rock n roll. After seeing The Beatles on
The Ed Sullivan Show as an 11-year-old, he begged his parents for an electric guitar and practiced, practiced, practiced. He was in his first band by 14, and though he kept his hand in music, his law enforcement career eventually subsumed his music dreams. Then he retired from the FBI, started
Unfinished Business in 2003, and they ve been going strong ever since . except for that pesky last 14 months or so. click to enlarge
