HUMAN SACRIFICE

Typewriter Sonata was a song I wrote in 1977.  Years later with the advent of the internet I was able to collaborate with several musicians on-line from around the world.  Of course, today our younger generation are not familiar with those old antique things we called typewriters.  This song is dedicated to all those typest who typed millions of documents with a typewriter.

The following have collaborated on this project.

Cherie (USA) -  Vocals 
Helder Rock (England) - Rhythm Guitar
Boris Rzainkin (Netherlands) - Bass Guitar
Mark Jackson (England) - Keyboard Guitars
Michael Spinella - Keyboards 

A big thank you to those who have helped on this project.

Typewriter Sonata

Memoirs of dopeness montage borderline blue and all tht jazz.



There's snow on the mountain but i don't get cold.
I got the sweet fires of heaven burning in my soul.
I'm a lucky man-now ain't that divine.
I'm biding my time.
Writing songs for the preachers on the borderline.

I drank a lot of whisky-I smoked a bit of dope
i had a whole lot of fun on a slippery slope,
I was a villain once , in my own pantomime.
drawing circles in the dust on the borderline.
I'm biding my time

I know some day that i'm going to die,
an old man will turn into a butterfly.
I've felt the claw, I've seen the sign.
I'm just biding my time
selling trinkets to the tourists on the borderline.

I don't drive a car and I don't eat meat
I wear plastic sandals upon my feet,
and everything I try to hold-well it's not really mine.
I'm just biding my time
shedding my skin on the borderline.

I bought a guitar and I wrote myself a song,
I've got this dislocated feeling that I don't belong,
but if you ask me how I'm doing- I'll say 'I'm doing fine'
I'm just biding my time- I thought I saw Bob Dylan on the borderline.

I've marched with the lovers and the great oppressed,
I kept the red flag flying but I was not impressed.
My alliance lay, not with this paradigm.
I'm biding my time-counting the soldiers on the borderline.

I sold myself to a woman for a music-room,
I was dragon-tense, she was strange perfume,
but the gods of love- they deemed this a crime.
Now I'm just biding my time- trouble with a woman on the borderline.

Dancing with the Gypsies.............
Drawing circles in the dust...................
etc...............

General Pinochet, Dear Sir..........."You gave me to the soldiers sir, you gave me to the dogs, you gave me to the Patriots. It was your country. I was the girl from La Serena, barely seventeen, a bloodstain on the history of our nation.  ...................


Trouble on the Borderline. Steve Killingbeck

In the pursuit of creating a dance track for a Berklee School of Music project, I encountered an unconventional challenge set by the professor—no heavy or lead guitars on dance songs. Undeterred, I reached out to my friend Chris Trentham, a guitarist I consider one of the best unknown players globally. His exceptional talent not only earned our project an A+, but it also resulted in one of the most iconic lead guitar tracks I've ever heard in a dance song. This collaboration exemplifies how breaking from traditional norms and embracing unique talents can lead to exceptional and memorable outcomes. Thank you, Chris!
