I have to be honest I never expected anyone to take much notice of my work this time around. I had my 15 minutes in the past and didn't seriously think I would still be of interest musically to you or anyone for that matter. So many of the songs I've posted are home studio recordings of me and friends. However you showed me... This week A Strangers Eyes is Number 1 in the US... Pretty Cool... I have recorded a lot of music in my life and could have leaned on it and just cruised along but a couple of months into this 2nd go round... I felt a bit like a ringer so I decided to start recording again and that led me to Stuart Epps a Legendary Producer... which by sheer serendipity fell into my creative life like a lighthouse in a storm... he gave me a chance to do something I'd never had the opportunity to do in the past. That was to record some straight forward pop songs... there's a lot of fast and furious Rock and Punk influences present throughout my song list... insane rhythms that fall into melodic pot holes... but the 2 newest tracks are true guilty pleasures and doing these new pop songs which are well seated in music of the 1960's and 1970's (Before My Time by the way, I wasn't old enough to pick up a record... yet alone to get what it was about) I grew up loving the music of that era Beatles, Badfinger, T-Rex, I've always been behind the popular curve in music but happily the new studio recordings have truly cemented my link to the era of the British Invasion Stuart Epps saw to that...however it really lit the flame under my *ss to keep creating. "Get Out While You Can" and "You Make Everything Alright" are both my favorite tracks right now up there with "A Strangers Eyes" even though I wrote Strangers Eyes in 10 minutes and considered it a throwaway it has over time become pretty much my signature sound along with The Window and Laughing and Crying all decent pieces but nothing as personal as "Get Out While You Can" i'm glad you folks agree that "Strangers Eyes" And "Get Out While You Can" are my best they are the 1 and 2 my most played songs... One from the past and one from just a few months ago...if not just to prove I'm not just phoning it in... I haven't written a BIO yet so this little note will give you some insight into who I am and my feelings about my music. FYI I'm in the process of recording 3 new songs with Stuart in England he's there in London and I literally do phone in my lead vocal from Los Angeles sounds pretty exotic it's really not and more of a handicap as I would prefer to record my vocals with Stuart in attendance I tend to need some coaching as to the proper approach on any particular song... I had some very tuff periods that led me back to my music so I want to add that to have you very kind folks receive me so well was more heartfelt than you could know... Thanks for giving me a light at the end of a very dark tunnel... I owe all of you a Warm Beer... hopefully soon... at a Charming English pub... I'm really looking forward to it... Cheers for now...
