Written and lead singing by Randy Arnold, who was our group leader.  
Old tracks from late 90s band Morry and I were members of - Ten Months Later. Morry played lead guitar and I played rhythm guitar and sang back up vocs. The main singer is our friend Randy Arnold who wrote this song. Other bandmates: Yandell Wood (Drums) and Matt Garlove (Bass), along with other friends. Recorded mainly in Matt's basement. Sadie Hawkins Dance was the name of the album.

Don't Get To Deal (10ML)

Transformation II

Written for the 70th birthday of family friend Johanna.

Lyrics:
	here’s a thought 'tween you and me
		about the world we share
	in the beat of these busy streets
		there's seldom time to spare
	memories of the past, strong now,
		fade at last
	we might forget the flavours of
		the potions we were sold
	but we’ll recall the sum of all
		the stories that they told

	the destinies of mice and men
		cannot be foretold
	we pursue, as all must do,
		our syncopated goals
	we seek to find some peace of mind,
		bring nothing to leave behind
	though our youth might run its course
		our lives are not forlorn
	so celebrate both long and late
		the date that you were born

A Birthday Thought

A song of hope for these troubled times.

Can you free yourself from the troubles of this world?
Can you free yourself from the trials of this world?
If only you could see the way to go
Can you free yourself from the troubles of this world?

As night becomes day
the moon to sun makes way
as day follows night
the darkness turns to light
for all the lost souls 
who can be found again
and the bad times 
will soon make way for good

Can you free yourself from the anger in your heart?
Can you free yourself from the helplessness all around?
If only you could see the way to go
Can you free yourself from the anger in your heart?

All sorrows will be gone
and joy be found
just as the earth is spinning
round and round
moving fast from the past
into infinity 
in each moment of..….....reality

Can you learn to live with peace within your heart?
Can you learn to live in peace for evermore?
If only you could see the way to go
Can you learn to live with peace within your heart?
Can you learn to give the peace within your heart?    within your heart?

Free Yourself

As soon as I heard this new song by David Nevue taken from the last album "In the soft light of Grace", named Equilibrium I immediately had to play it, it is of a unique delicacy, intense in some passages, it gave me great emotions and even listening to it again I often get chills. I hope it will be like this for you too. The song is a little long but I recommend listening to it, everything is truly a pearl.

Project description:
I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators were anonymous during the process. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path...passed on from one anonymous member to the next..  not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are made.
I created a guideline invitation...and it went like this:
As the concept and project coordinator, I will tie a collaboration track in one linear path starting with my 25- 35 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to another person (only)in the project  who's style  I think will be an interesting following my track. That next person will create a 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound interesting as a follow through to  the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed, that person will send their newly created (un posted) 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental to me only as a private un-posted track.  When received, I will send that anonymous segment(only) to another member who's style I think will sound as an interesting follow-through right after that track....this process continues until complete. During the secret process the only part of the project you will hear is the one anonymous track sent to you.  Your sound and the track order of this Linear Collaboration will not be changed during and after the project is complete. When the project is complete and posted, you will be credited as the sole writer and producer of your contribution. 
That is when all the anonymous members of this Linear Collaboration will finally be revealed to one another!
Enjoy the process and your creative individuality!

Daniela Spadini is an Italian pianist and composer, she studied classical piano from a young age. Her passion for the piano began when she was only two years old and at the age of 7 she began her musical journey with two different teachers. Constant study leads her to take some exams at the conservatory “G.B. Pergolesi”.
 
The sudden death of her teacher with whom he had built up a great affection, leaves an indelible mark on her life which also affects the continuation of her studies. She abandoned the classical studies and became a chorister in the polyphonic choir dedicated to dear teacher and she had the opportunity to give concerts in Italy and in Europe.
 
In 2014 She began a new musical journey approaching modern composers and began writing her original compositions. She has collaborated with Italian and foreign artists and she performed in piano-bar and pubblic exibitions. One of her composition “Tango lento” be used in a few dance school.
 
Some of her compositions have been used to create advertising videos.
