ARE YOU GUYS LIKE ME, SICK OF THE NEWS REHASHING THE 2016 ELECTION? GOOD GRIEF CHARLEY BROWN! ANY WAY! I hope this letter finds you all happy and well. I had hoped to be able to tell you all about a new song I had written and produced, but in all honesty; the last song I wrote was. “BETTER THINK ABOUT IT”. But I did do a cover song, one of only three that I have placed on my play list. It is one of my personal favorites, by Chris Isaak, that I’m sure most of you are familiar with; “WICKED GAME”. I am not personally fond of cover songs, believing that in most case’s, the artist who preformed it first, is the one people should hear sing it. But I love this song so much, and it has such a message to all of us about life and love, and especially, loving the wrong one so much that it can be destructive to the person who has fallen so completely, that they lose their self in obsessions, of what they perceive as the ‘ONE’! The only one for them. Anyway, I picked up my guitar and started playing it the way that I felt it, hoping that my personal take on the song expressed my own, youthful memory, of and all consuming love that was not to be at that time. I hope that is what you hear when you play it, along with Chris’s deep understanding of the pain of unrequited love, within his lyrics. But about my’ own music, and what it has done for me through out my life. Well, even at a young age, I found my love for music. I learned early that music was a way to express feelings of happiness, grief, joy, and love. And whether I am composing and playing my’ work, or listening to the work of other artist that I admire, it does not matter. You and I can find all aspects of life’s drama expressed within that which surly comes from our soul, that which we call music. I have considered my self blessed, that GOD gave me what small talent I possess, so that I am able to create music that people enjoy enough to follow me and the songs I write and sing. If you have not checked out my last song, “BETTER THINK ABOUT IT”, or my version of “WICKED GAME”, please do and let me know what you think. You can find both songs and many others here; https://www.numberonemusic.com/bubbagroove May your lives be filled with days of joy, and love for one another. Sincerely, Gerald ‘Bubba Groove’ Ulmer.
