Just to Show You

This is a pretty song with sweet melodies discussing a not so sweet subject,,,a couple fighting. So the guy here is taking time to think and "reflect"and just be away from the epicenter. So he is "taking the long way home". Wouldn't you? If I had to fight with someone when I went home,,,,I would find a new home!! And I have a few times,,,,no doubt.

Taken The Long Way Home 1

This is a Rock Ballad with very strong lead Vocals by Gabe Jacobs who is also a math teacher. I heard the original version on you tube with Gabe and his ukulele and loved it. This was a couple of years ago. Of course I didn't forget about it and used Gabes soundtrack off of the video to then write all the music and added production. I am playing all the instruments except the ukulele and doing back ground vocals too. It was a pleasure to work with Gabe ( although not in person )as it always is to work with highly talented people. Hope you enjoy it,,,Thanx,,,Brian Zukryan.

THE END OF DUH WURLDE co written by Gabe Jacobs & Brian Zukryan

I wrote this to the scenes I was requested to work on or interpret if you will,,,or if you wont! This was for a very sad part of the film. The Lead character "Baiser" just got his heart badly broken.I love Cellos the most of all orchestration standard stringed instruments. I also really love working with groups of vocals and melodies working around and within each other. What fun!

I can't say who, what, where or when because of contract obligations. But those folks were cool enough to allow me to share this here and a couple other places and I appreciate that. It's an honor to be in the company of those same folks. Thank You for having me. This is my try to do honor to great drummers all of who i respect and adore. One who I would like to mention is Michael Jochum who is an inspiration in innovation within music and a great light for any to see when it comes to any instrument.

 I'm writing this about Brian because I am also a " Multi - Award w-Winning Pro" but in Journalism. I have covered the music scene for 35 years with the leading industry publications and was managing editor of "Rolling Stone" Music magazine for 12 years. I'm writing mostly because he gives a lot to any writer, to  write about. Also, I am familiar with his work in the "BIZ" for many years. We start with Brian at age Three. Having a special need to play the drums, Brian did just that and was reading and playing proficiently by age Five. This is where he changes paths a bit finding another passion, the Trumpet. A good choice he made because by the ripe old age of  Ten, Brian had his musicians Union card and was officially launched as a Professional. Playing gigs on the Trumpet and Drums he was also perfecting his love for the Bass guitar and a variety of keyboards. His music took him working not only in his hometown Burbank, Ca., where he was born in 1958 to mother Nancy  and father George, but throughout his home and surrounding states. When he became a teenager is where I came into the picture. Covering L As leading "Hot Music Venues" I ran across Brian and his bands many a time. Every time a thrill to say the least. His bands like Holocaust, Madam X and Electra were always on top of the Hollywood scenes " Hottest Shows" list. Headlining world renowned clubs such as" Gizzaris on the Strip" ( now the "Key Club"), "The Whiskey a Go Go" ( known as 'The Whiskey"), "The Roxy" (with equally as famous "The Rainbow" next door) he would pack the house with me in there too. I could never give any of his bands an even close to bad write up. Always Powerful and Punch driven performances with a stage presence and presentation that would literally knock your socks off. Brian was always warm and welcoming to me and his adoring fans. While on stage he was as masterful musically and as powerful in his presence as anyone I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The people around me ( usually packed in like sardines) were absolutely "Giddy" over Brian and his band every time. Girls would actually throw themselves on the stage for these guys! I've seen a lot of that at shows, but usually with much more famous acts. Brian knows how to create a phenomenon known as "Hysteria" within his audiences. What amazed me was that he understood the mechanics of this at such a young age. He since has played with a "Who's Who" of Music Greats and some Music Legends such as; Leon Russel ( I'm jealous),  Randy Rhodes ( Ozzy Osbourne), Martha Reeves and the Vandellas ( one of Motowns founding acts, I'm jealous again) Harry T Booker ( Warner Bros.) Ted Nealey ( Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar") Leif Garrett ( teen hearthrob) Tanya Tucker, The Steve Miller Band, Michael Jackson, Beyonce's band and the list goes on,,, need I say more?  Well so what's he doing currently? He played me some of his songs that he writes and plays all instruments on, produces AND engineers! Come on!! They are great works crossing many genres, styles and grooves. Simply amazing still. Writing compositions for Movies, TV, and "For anyone anywhere that needs music" says Brian. Do yourself a FAVOR and check out this Masterful Artists work and love. I could not give a higher recommendation for any artist or performer. Thank You Brian Zukryan for what you give to us all.
