Let's here it for that non assuming, inspirational bovine... 

LAZY LYLA

Lazy Lyla
I wish that I could know what’s in your head
This is crazy Lyla
I’ll try another avenue instead
Could it be a thousand sunsets you are dreaming?
Shimmering off a sea of wavy gold
You amaze me Lyla
Your grace shows all the poems you’ve never told

Lazy Lyla
Always coloring right over the lines
As the world passes by I can see in your eyes
a better place than what’s in mine...

Lazy Lyla
Behold you are the forest for the trees
Trace me Lyla
I know there’s many worlds in what you see
Did you know sometimes I dream about your sunsets?
And the ships you sail on seas of wavy gold?
It’s so hazy Lyla
Or maybe it’s just me that’s getting old.

Save me Lyla
Sometimes I wish I were where you are
The rest of us play never mean what we say
You live by truth that’s in the stars...

Easy come.
Easy go...
Think I’m done but I hope you know by now
It’s not the when it’s how...

Lazy Lyla
I wonder if I’ll ever know your name
Lazy Lyla
It’s time for me to play another game
Lazy Lyla
Trace me Lyla
Save me Lyla

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.
