This song is about a culmination o challenging f life experiences - primarily losses, that took place over a few years in my life. I imagine we've all had similar periods and certainly similar experiences and rough times that pop up unexpectedly. It's never easy.

What A Year It's Been - WorkMix-1/30/22

Ski music pioneer, Eric T. returns with this high-energy, rockin' ode to the the 'mothership', Squaw Valley's KT-22.

This new release, the first in over ten years, is in celebration of the legendary KT-22, as well as a recognition of the 30th anniversary of his classic 1985 original ski music vinyl EP, "Ski Patrol". 

The single, and original album are both available on iTunes and other music distribution outlets.

I Love KT

Eric T. & the Skis new hardcore 'ski-thrash' track 'Banzai! (Go Fast To The Bottom)captures the high-energy intensity of the Rahlves' Banzai Tour, a one-of-a-kind 'big mountain meets skier/boarder cross' race event.  

BANZAI! (Go Fast To The Bottom)

As noted in the opening line ("Three weeks ago today, my father passed away"), this song is about the recent death of my father. The song's concept, "who do I turn to now?" came to me like a whack to the head in the early hours of the morning following his untimely passing, when I realized, for the first time, that from that point on, I was, essentially, on my own. My father, whom I had closely shared the bulk of my life with, was no longer going to be there, for me to "turn to".

I will heartily welcome any thoughts or comments from friends, old and new.

Who Do I Turn To Now?

OK, here we go...another post as the curtain opens and the big reveal gets underway!  I've decided to share deep... share real... share open...  share honest... funny, share awkward.  I've come to learn (over more years than I care to note)  that writing, recording, playing songs is my passion.I can't stop. They come out of nowhere. But the hard lesson is that these things are meant to be shared - to one person, or a ton of folks. It doesn't really matter. The key is to put 'em out there. I've been inspired over the last year, through passion and pain, to get out of the dark. To open up, stand up, and get the ya-ya's out!  To put it out there!   
read on, if you care/dare/need a scare...
So, here's the next one. I'm starting with the archives. Some songs I wrote many years back, but still love, and enjoy playing (in some cases) as fodder for the Beer Gardeners.   This song, "Hard Time" was recorded on a 1/4" 8-track in my apartment overlooking PCH, the surf across the street,and David Geffen's house in Malibu in 1990 as I was pursuing songwriting in earnest in the big town (L.A.)I had an "agent" for a while and this tune actually made it to the desk of Aaron Jacoves, the director of A&R at A&M records, which led to a meeting (lots of those happen in L.A.). Nothing really came of it, but it was an incredible experience. 

The song is pretty self explanatory, but has, IMHO, a seductive punch, some fun lyrics, and an overall catchy feel. That being said, it would be great to hear what you (y'all, for some) think....   Thanks for your input and support. Much more to come!!
