Atlantic City Hell

Halloween is coming, the skeletons are dancing!  :)

Boney Maroney Cloney

She combs her hair in the mirror
and looks to the phone,
but she can't dial the number.
Now she's alone.
Makes her wonder why she 
had to be stronger than they were
when it was over.

She cries, "Again and again and again!"
and, "Why must these demons
dress in fields of clover?"

How many times will it take
before her heart no longer can break?

He stands in front of the window,
tears in his eyes,
and wonders how to go onward
when love dies.
Makes him wish he'd been  
much better than all of the others.
Now it's too late.

He cries, "Again and again and again!"
and, "Why must we leave this 
legacy of hate?"

How many years will go on
before the memories of her are gone?

Again And Again

Just a snippet of some pieces I have been toying with...

WIP 1

 This song was inspired by Rod Argent's Moog solo in the song Clown on his 1975 album Circus, his most progressive and balanced album, in my opinion. I wanted to try something with a similar progression to that song and wondered what it would be like to have his solo become the melody of the song, just as an exercise. I did take it elsewhere, but enjoyed the process of taking something and making a completely different vibe out of it.

Argent Inspiration

First try with this demo, will probably take down and redo in the near future, once I fix it.

When I'm Gone

Don't know what I was thinking. Wanted to see what would happen if I ran the entire song through a flange. Duh! I'm gonna have to re-record this, but when? Wish I could just play, sing and write full time!   :)

Lost In The Shadow

Been unhappy with the vocal version, so I thought I would post this without the vocals.

As We Go Along-Instrumental

Just a chill piece of light jazz. If I ever play out again, I thought this might make a nice opening number.

Welcome To My World

This one is a shorty. Just my take on our political landscape these days, with all the polarity amongst us. Makes me so sad sometimes...
The melody instrument is an Erhu, which I found on Garageband, of all places. Luckily, when I switched to Logic, the same instrument was there.

Sad State of Affairs

Way back when there was no money, I used to record Christmas songs for family and friends as gifts. In return, they would make homemade gifts as well, using whatever talents they possessed. How I wish we could go back to that! Anyway, thought I would share some. They are old tape recordings recorded at home, so some are hissy! But all the voices and instruments are me (no click tracks for this boy), and all from the heart.
Happy Holidays! Peace On Earth!

Don't Forget

Found this performance I did with some friends at Unity Church in Albany in late 90s, early 2000s. Didn't write it, didn't play any of the instruments, just sang the baritone line, and split the lead in I Dreamed a Dream.

A Night At Unity

Impossible Dream/I Dreamed A Dream

During this pandemic, I thought it might be nice to play a hopeful song some friends and I did...
