When. I heard this song I knew I had to write with John.  This is an arrow that pierces right through your heart.

Somewhere there is a film being made that needs this song!

Written for my wife Maria, melody came to me in a dream, and the lyrics came not long after.

This is a song about social media addiction where everyone has a phone and some are addicted to it and do it constantly. I performed alto and tenor saxes, guitar bass, aa as keyboard, background, vocals, and lead vocals, Including my wife, Maria, who is also singing background vocals￼. I miss the times when doing concerts when everyone gave their attention and was not looking at their phone or filming the show￼

Here's a backing track I did for Smooth Jazz backing tracks.com,  duplicating the great performance by Euge Groove, 2011, 
click here for the original credits.

  On this track I'm playing all the parts, including piano, organ, and live rhythm and lead guitar.  Loved Euge's playing on this, reminds me of the closing song that Lenny Pickett does with the band on SNL, For the DAW, I use Digital Performer.   I'm using EZDrummer, Trillian Bass, Alicia Keys Kontakt Acoustic, and  Electric Pianos, and the EastWest Gold String section.  Go to smoothjazzbackingtracks.com to purchase this track, and many other great sax backing tracks.  I also transcribe many of the solos on these recordings. and possibly this one, if there are enough requests.

Since 2001, I've been the piano entertainer onboard the Reno Snow/Fun train, the route of the California Zephyr, from Oakand, CA to Reno.  When I got the gig I asked Chris Caswell to write a kickin jazz swing tune about finding love on the rails.  He nailed this one.  

I'd rather take the train

John Lee Sanders comes from the deep roots of jazz, blues and roots music through his early years in the Mississippi Delta, Alabama, the Bayous of Louisiana, and The plains of Texas. John Lee has a universal gift to reach audiences from a broad and diverse musical spectrum. 
With blues at the core, he has evolved a complex musical gumbo, with the flavors of Cajun, Rock, Gospel, Pop, Jazz, R&B, Soul, Country, classical, with a deep love of the traditions, and culture of New Orleans. 

There is another John Lee Sanders, on soundcloud, impersonating my name, and has nothing to do with my music,  which is about empowerment, Sacred spirituality, uplifting consciousness, musical integrity, virtuosity, and honoring the  great Jazz, rock,Soul, blues artists, composers, as well as the great classical masters, Film composers, and all great ethnic indigenous music of our world, inspired by our creator.
