Take a Hand, Make a Friend

Winding Roads – Behind the Track

Ok, so after a very extended holiday break I am back in the saddle completing the lost 1972 album, “In the Pursuit of Truth & Beauty”.  I will be blogging on it extensively as it’s a very interesting story about two high school kids who had a dream to create a concept album of their own and then got to do it – but not get to finish until now.

Those of you who dig behind the scenes kind of stuff will dig it.  Those of you who don’t, well you can just groove to the music.

I wrote this song when I was 17.  While I was studying in Europe (Poland) it became the unofficial theme song of our class.  I can still hear all of them singing it raucously along with me in some of Krakow’s night clubs.  Somewhere there is 8mm film of me performing this from 1970.  Would love to get my hands on it.  But I digress.

This was one of the last tracks we got to do before the record company went bust.  I was going for a country blues shuffle, ala Bernard Purdie so, what better place to record than Muscle Shoals.  This session we drove to in my 1964 Chevy Impala.

Quite frankly, my Telecaster never sounded better.  I guess that’s why “Keef” loved to record there and why I pretty much shameless overplayed on the track.

This is the instrumental sans vocal.  Kenneth is playing rhythm guitar on my Ovation Glen Campbell (he is panned to the right – I know he’ll want it louder!).

The tracks were a bitch to finally digitize, as were all of them but I am almost done.  I am looking forward to cleaning up (and augmenting) the vocals.

As Kenneth and I say in Ramapo Valley Rapid Transit, “come and take a ride with me”.

"Tango D'Amore" - Bob Porembski

 Legendary songwriter and producer Van Dyke Parks has said:
“Bob’s ecumenical approach to music – his understanding of popular idioms, how they are developed and exploited – and his fundamental discipline in literary musical works give him an informed enthusiasm in the focus of songwriting.Bob Porembski… is contributing to our American musical heritage”.
 
Universal Music songwriter/recording artist, TV composer, performer, music producer and music educator, Bob has taught music business, independent record production and music publishing for over fifteen years at Mercy College, Queensborough College, and New York University.
 
He was recently commissioned by Universal Music to write and record a series of new children’s songs.
 
His song, “Feelin’ More Like Christmas” is an international seasonal TV hit, performed worldwide, that has been featured on the CBS daytime drama, “The Young and the Restless”, USA Networks’ “Twelve Days of Christmas”, BRAVO and the TRIO Network.
 
Bob has written music for Special Olympics (official theme song, “Take A Hand, Make A Friend”), HBO, Rocher Candy, The Oxygen Network (his song, “Good Morning, I Love You” was featured on the cutting edge comedy, “Good Girls Don’t”).He has written music for the SPIKE TV mini-series “Invasion Iowa” and his “Jungle Friends”, was featured on The Learning Channel’s award-winning documentary, “The Face of Yulce”.
 
Because Bob believes strongly in the healing power of music, he performs regularly with his group, “City Rhythm”, (under the auspices of Hospital Audiences, Inc.), bringing rock and roll music to those who would otherwise not be able to experience it. His experience with the elderly and the infirm has proven to him that rock &amp; roll is the strongest medicine against the assault of age and illness.
 
As the supervising faculty member of the internship program at Mercy College he regularly acts as mentor to students aspiring to be in the music business.He believes that “the music business is not learned from a book but from other people in the business.”
