This song is dedicated to the downfall of all corrupt politicians. They are getting rich passing laws to line their pockets and keep power rather than to meet the needs of those they are supposed to represent. I am sick of it! Written, Performed and Produced by Peter Fossi

My Old Friends deals with the premise that Music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s is more meaningful than the music of today. From the days of playing it live with My Old Friends (you know who you are!), to many years later, just re-listening to the artists (who are also Our Old Friends)that have colored our lives and memories with the old classics from the genres of those years, I have been blessed. I hope you are too!

My Old Friends

Tribute to my best friend, Joe Pedersen who we lost recently to CJD. Joe was an inspiration in life and music to everyone who was lucky enough to have him in their life. He will be missed by so many and I'm sure he is in heaven picking that twelve string and singing with his brother, John Prine, and others. He will always be a real Troubadour in so many ways.

Joe's Song - The Troubadour

The lyrics of this original song were taken from Terry Latham's poem, In Memory Of, which was inspired by the love of his life, Ann. Their Journey is proof that Lost Love is Never Lost!

01 - A Lesson Too Late

The older we get, the more we realize we have to do things better . . . From Now On.

From Now On

Life has it's trials. When these troubled situations occur, we can cry and be a victim, or, we can pick ourselves up, move on, and look for new exciting opportunities. And, of course, Big boys don't cry (Well, Maybe A Little Bit), sitting around wondering, "Why Me!" Cried A Little Bit was written, performed, recorded, and arranged by Pete Fossi.

Cried A Little Bit

He went down to Mexico to have some fun. The women, Tequila, and weed took over and he lost his soul. Original song written and performed by Pete Fossi

Lost His Soul to Mexico

Life is a mystery and sometimes downright hard. If you really think about it, it is hard to believe that there isn't a light (someone) looking down on us trying to guide us. The older we get, the more we look for answers that we may never get. Original song written, arranged and performed by Pete Fossi.

I May Never Know

Song relaying the story of John The Baptist and his role of paving the way for Jesus and by baptising Jesus, making baptism as a standard step in becoming a Christian.

I'm Free To Be Me

As a Member of the Much Older Generation, it is a reality that people don't seem to listen to me or share my values as much, if at all, anymore. The values of working hard to get ahead, always telling the real truth, creating equal opportunity for all, listening to those you might not agree with, and supporting yourself have given way to doing just enough to get by, equating the truth to anything that might support your opinion, giving charity instead of real opportunity and hating those that disagree with you. The political factions in this country (and the world) no longer care about or search for truth or compromise, and Hate is rampant. Even Life itself has become less sacred. Are we headed for a Revolution?

Pray With Me is not a religious song, but my way of reaching out at a time when no one is listening, and the world is moving in a direction away from harmony and understanding to a mantra of "my way or the highway".

Pray With Me (For A While)

If you live in America, Legally, You are one lucky SOB! Song Written, Performed and Arranged by Pete Fossi.

Spread Your Wings  America

This song is written, arranged, and recorded by Pete Fossi to bring awareness to the dreadful Alzheimer's epidemic. It is about a man with the disease trying to tell his friends and loved ones what to expect in the future and to remind them, in advance, that he loves them and won't be able to control his memory and actions.  He hopes they will continue to visit and love him. He knows the victims of Alzheimer's are not just those that have the disease.

Tell Me Where I Am

A man meets his Ex out on the town, stirring up memories, emotions' and questions. Will she save it for him?

Save It For Me

An old man, once successful, looks back at his life and wonders where all his "friends" went, and, wakes up to the fact that all the material success of the past won't necessarily matter in the little time he has left. So, he realizes that the Writing Is On The Wall as far as how much time he has left and he must get up and move on, making the best of his life as it is today. Written and arranged by Pete Fossi.

The Writing Is On The Wall

Many good times south of the border. But, it's always more fun and safer if you know where to go and not go w with someone who knows  what to do and not do! Original song, written arranged and performed by Pete Fossi

Born In A Border Town

Our Country has become so polarized that people from both sides won't even listen to any ideas or opinions that don't match their own. In addition, the passion, love, and pride that people once had for this country has all but disappeared. The progress of Love Your Brother has given way to a growth of Hate as demonstrated by our "Leaders" in Local, State, and Federal govvernments. People walk around with "Empty Hearts" with no room for love or compromise. Where will it end? Where will we get real leadership to bring us back together and make our country the beacon that it used to be? Unfortunately, I don't know! I wrote Empty Hearts to hopefully awaken people to at least ask some of the questions posed in the lyrics.
