@mskathyfreeman: Thanks Kathy, always nice to hear from you.

dig the crazy horse vibe sound on the guitar.  like this one a lot           

Gee this one has a great simple back beat and the melody is right in the pocket. my kind of song.

classic storytelling.  modern classic story.  lives in our modern hearts.  and great acoustics to boot.  thanks!

great feel to your voice, depth and sincerity ooze from your track, no pretentiousness going down which is soo refreshing ..delightful find

your voice, like Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, and Nick Cave is a character in your songs as much as the music is. Your voice sounds like it knows a hundred years of heartache with just a few laughs along the way. I know that sounds like a pretentious and stupid comment. Maybe it is, but it turns your songs into stories. Such a cool thing.

@garysunshine: Studium of darkness and street honour, like if dreams would be built out of heavy... 

Great feel...love the acoustic guitar on this track.

THE WORLD WON'T BE THE SAME
She gave up her studies 
and moved into the city
she met a boy named Ruffles
he was tall and good lookin'

Three wishes & dreamin'
she was new in town

She threw in the towel
she used to want to be a dancer
had diamonds for eyes
could almost sing like Lucinda

Three wishes & dreamin
she formed a band in New Jersey

If you close your eyes 
and count to ten
you'll never know 
the world won't be the same
but you never even knew her
if you passed her on the street
you passed her on the street
you'd walk on by, go walk on by

She opened her door and her heart
to a real guitar player

Three wishes & dreamin'
his band left for the road

If you close your eyes 
and count to ten
they'd never know 
if the world would be the same
but you never even knew her
if you passed her on the street
you passed her on the street
you'd walk away, you walked away, walk away

His tour ended early 
The crowds just weren't there 
(we were just getting started)
He said it really didn't matter
his heart was broken at last

If you close your eyes 
and count to ten
you'll see that the world won't be the same
they never knew his name
never watched before
never saw him play
& he never had a chance
she saw him lying on the ground
(she moved back to Montana)
held him in her arms
(opened a flower shop)
she was crying out for help
(near her parent's home)
& no one came along
(she kept all his favorite records)
she didn't know what to do
she brushed back his hair
& just held him in her arms
(kept his photos around)
 & kissed him goodbye

The World Won't Be the Same

Former member of NYC’s own Circus of Power (Columbia Records, RCA Records..)I am both excited and anxious to get back out there to promote last year's record, “Beer, Picks & Old Records". Gritty sounds & colorful stories of America, equal parts Country, Punk, Blues & Pop.  13 tunes about losers, lovers, thrill seekers & troublemakers. Working on a new record for 2021; many of those songs are included here with new ones added weekly.

Along with my years with Circus of Power I was with NY Loose , The Silos and the punk/pop band Screaming Sneakers. Having  worked with such diverse artists as Guns N’ Roses, Gravity Kills and New Zealand’s Steph Casey, you might say dues have been paid and then some.

Nice review for the record...

I've completed collaborations with Pall Of A Past World "Winnebago", Shoemansky "Homesick", Bergman "Ian Brown" & "Stoned Butterfly", Steph Casey "My Lovely Letterbox" & "A Love To Stay In For", "The Sandman's Orchestra "To Haunt You", and Sink\Sink "Hardbitten".

I had a great time doing these and I look forward to exploring more opportunities to collaborate as time allows.  

Thanks for stopping by. Means a lot. I appreciate your comments a great deal.
