This demo was the first song out of a rock opera about going to hell based off a dream.  Have not yet had time to record the rest of the ideas but this is just a demo, too bad I don't have a team of corporate musicians helping out...  Yeah, this sorta sucks in it current incarnation but the truth is that all of my songs are actually heavy metal songs.  I'll convert them to their true state some day.

This is an expression of a free life and free living. Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention would love this because it is a joyful expression which is built upon a progressive mondset.Music industry professionals hate free music and she, herself desires for that which is constrained to seek for the unconstrained.

Free the music!

Part of Me is Mad at Me (highschool hallway shockwave)

This song was written for my son when he was born.  I was living in New Jersey at the time and he was in Kalamazoo with his mother.  Many long distance trips back and forth.  Went through a couple cars.  It took me four long years to build up the resources to finally get home.  

It was not easy being an absent father.  Big Pharma wanted me for their IT department in a big way.  The money was needed and I was able to provide, but that did not come close to being there.  Finally after a few years, I picked up and moved back to Kalamazoo, working remotely.  Waiting for the other shoe to drop and did not get fired for a couple years.  All worked out but it was a journey.  

Being a dad is the greatest thing that ever happened to me.  It changed my life and gave me a sense of purpose.  I'm still an idiot sometimes but when it comes to being a dad, I'm always careful and kind.  Lets all take care of our children in a way that makes them happy and healthy, and the world a better place.  Fight until you win your battle, never give up.
