Born in Virginia, raised in Maryland; survivor of an alcoholic  family; graduated High School and Union Carpenters Apprenticeship; a student of Algebra, a student of Life, a  brown belt Samurai Chess Player; gave up clarinet in 2nd grade because he was too young to understand;  gave up French class 5 years later because he could not speak the language; turned down Ms. Maria Blautzig for the Sadie Hawkins Dance because she had turned  down his request earlier in the school year; walked out of typing class on day one, hell HOUR one, because he could not handle the stress of it;  walked out of Oklahoma State University because he really needed help at that point and did not know how to ask for it, so ‘tear it all down and blow it up’ seemed to be the only way to find any; experienced the deepest loneliness of his entire life to date out on that highway, with no direction anywhere.  He has worked as a ditch digger, a grass cutter, a TV Guide door to door salesman; he has been a farm worker, carpenters’ helper, apprentice, a Journeyman carpenter in Local 132, a Home Improvement contractor and a Facilities Maintenance Engineer.  He has passed up more opportunities than cars on a freight train; he has hitchhiked, hobo’ed and walked across tens of thousands of miles of America's roadways, and a few in Canada, for good measure.

By virtue of  a chance encounter one snowy January night in 1993, when he met and eventually married the revolutionary communist, aspiring novelist, multi instrumentalist soprano and as yet unheralded expert at fitting leftovers into the refrigerator, the  beguiling, and sumptuous Ms. Juliana; this union subsequently created the talented, smart, bubbly, and eye-catching Ms. Sophia, she of the musical pipes.
Mr Higgins first picked up the guitar at age 23, the harmonica at 57, and wrote his first book at age 5, or 6. It shall remain forever unpublished, as the only handwritten master of it is lost to the dustbin of history.

Hello - Thank you very much for visiting my soundcloud page!!! 
I write, sing, produce, play piano/keys  and am currently in rehearsal mode so I can perform live. 

I am so grateful and honored by every listen, like, comment, and follow from this wonderful community of creators.

My new album is out and  WOW I am so excited that I finally let it go, which if you must know, took me a long time.  I have some of the cuts from it right here on soundcloud and you can buy it on bandcamp for now as a download.  Buying my album also includes the full set of liner notes.

I don't use (or plan to use) AI  for anything I create or post - not even artwork(!); if I get left behind, so be it!  If what I do doesn't sound or look as good as an AI track, so be it!!  I create because I love doing it and music makes people happy.  What would be the point of having some computer program create something for me that I can do myself?  I'm not trying to compete for attention or the almighty dollar, so again, if I get left behind, so be it!  I can always busk at the beach with a tip jar if I have to.

Pianiste, compositeur
olivieri.gerald@gmail.com

Del Carry is a composer and musician who plays contemporary classical, film music, jazz and some rock and blues. He plays piano, Bb trumpet, C flute, EWI wind controller, guitar [electric and acoustics and a wide range of virtual sampled instruments as well as having played in a few jazz-rock "Chicago" type live bands]. The pieces offered on SoundCloud are a very small sample of over 450 compositions.

If you are so inclined, I would also encourage any constructive criticism of my music. If my music does not fit in your musical taste and experience, it’s probably not wise to comment, but if it does, and you notice obvious things that I have overlooked or I could do better, I am open. It does not take long to lose one’s objectivity when hearing the piece possibly hundreds or times. 

But please be kind. I may not always agree, but will appreciate your effort, care and feedback.
