"Gaza" is a the silent lament of a homeless civilian in Gaza who has lost home and family members in the aftermath of the current war - hungry, thirsty, sick cold sleeping in the wreckage of burnt out abandonned buildings. A prayer for help to a silent God and a world which seems to have no mercy and seems to have lost it's moral compass

AVID Sunset Live Rec 12.06.2025

for this track, the recommended venue or space that caters to sub level bass like a nice set of headphones or in a car running an amp into subwoofers.  make that rear view mirror vibrate & rattle the neighbors fine china or those fillings in your molars.  beware in those country hills and hollers as this may cause liquefaction, dustifying like a controlled demo. A quick note on the sampling used:  long time big fan of Matisyahu.  this is from Live at Stubbs, which debuted 20 years ago, if you can believe that.  Copyright is with Sony BMG Entertainment 2005 and remixed via Creative Commons license.  With some added enhancements to the workflow, this needed some samples to layer over the beats to add some flavor.  just a little salt n pepper sprinkled on breakfast eggs n toast.  some hip hop, raggae, trip hop and fo on tha flo. peace.

Introducing: Heights (sofa king dope remix of Matisyahu)

Before my 2nd child -who was due in September - was born, I once again celebrated in song.  She was born in late August and has lived up to the robust joyful spirit of this little song

Celebrating life
Proud Dad’s heart breaks forth in song
He can’t help himself!

A Bright And Shining Day

Soundcloud Inscription  I had A DreaBill:   This little poem has already been published in my book "Open Your Eyes" (collection of poetry and song published by Shires Press in 2020) and   in the Poetry  Society of Vermont's 2020 Mountain Troubador annual poetry review.. The poem is dream-talkingi a form of storytelling,  similar to the parable form used by Jesus which   penetrates past the rational mind  barrier into the  feelingful heart.  Robyn, my FAWM collaborator did a great job interpreting the words  with her masterful guitar work and beautiful vocal harmonies.

Robyn: I took one look at these lyrics and knew I had to do something with them. Shaker is a travel mug filled with rice.

The year is 1999, millennials have not voted in a presidential election yet. Rap Metal is dominating the mainstream music industry along with Boy Bands. Somewhere in a basement in New Jersey teenagers were soaking sampler riffs and turntable scratching with guitar effects pedals along with drum kit beats and familiar strumming structures of Nirvana tunes on electric guitar. This was the beginning of Mike Amerika in young Mike Mazzeo’s mind when he heard all the influences mixed together.
Years later the two Mikes, of Mike Amerika, crossed paths in the 2000’s Philly/South Jersey music scene. One Mike studied Visual Arts in Philadelphia and the other Mike had studied Recording Arts in NYC. One was working in construction and the other was a guitar teacher and ran a small studio and venue in SJ. They have very different personalities but came together to work on Mike Mazzeo’s vision in 2011. Mike Mazzeo is the vocalist, singer/songwriter, guitarist, and producer. The other Mike, Mike Britt, is an accomplished musician, multi-instrumentalist, guitarist, and studio engineer. They recorded and released 2 albums and multiple eps and singles.  Steph Brettman was featured drummer on the first album.
Many unreleased songs were recorded by the group from 2012-2019 and released in 2024. The music the group made was inspired by Classic Rock, Indie Rock, 90’s Alternative Rock as well as 80’s 90’s Golden Age and Boom Bap Hip Hop music.
