Love Hurts

Christmas Eve Can Kill You

Old buddy and indispensable groupie Sam Eurich presented me recently with a slew of recordings from our youth and the bands I formed ... most of said recordings I no longer possessed! (and I thought I had them all) Along with a treasure of recordings from the band “Liquid Sunshine” followed another treasure trove of recordings from our duo “Marcel & Roberts!”

Marcel (Bob Andriulli ... (middle name Marcelino) and me (middle name actually LEGALLY “Roberts” with an “s” due to a typo on my birth certificate) toured the club circuit around the USA in the mid 70s. Everywhere from Delaware, to Kansas City, Lincoln and Valentine Nebraska (big stories there) Casper Wyoming, Wisconsin ... and so many, many more states I simply forget. 

We were known as THE vocal duo! A badge we wore gladly, though never really took seriously. We did what we did. Only YEARS later did I hear and realise how well we made music together, and how we sang as one voice. 

I restored these recordings as best as I could. Tried to reduce tape hiss, expand the stereo image, even-out the track amplitude, and even compensate for inaccurate tape speed. In any case ... the flavor of these recordings somehow remain fresh, the vocals ... at times enchanting. Recorded in the mid 70’s across the USA, it is a musical memory of two young musicians (both circa 20-22 years old) trying to make it ... and in the process ... made some good music. 


Bye bye love

If I fell

Mother nature's son

Jackson Harden is a singer-songwriter from Utah and currently based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Combining elements from traditional folk, alt-country, and chamber pop, his music has a timeless quality that creates an airy, open atmosphere tinged with imagery of the vast desert landscapes and towering mountains of the western United States. His gentle vocal style, intimate songwriting, and intricate guitar picking are often compared to the likes of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith.

Hi, I started out singing in the 60's. I played in several groups, made a few records. Never went fully pro just played youth clubs, pubs, and socials. 

I play a little guitar and piano just mainly chords and I write a few songs. I purchased a Tyros work station keyboard about 14 years ago and started recording many songs mainly covers. Hope you enjoy listening to some of them.

"Take the inventiveness of Bob Dylan, the melodic voice of John Denver, add the showmanship of Garrison Keillor and that's Michael Johnathon." - Bob Spear , Publisher, HEARTLAND REVIEW

Michael is also a playwright ... his play Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau has over 9,000 registered performances in 42 countries and translated into four languages.

This 'Woody Guthrie in a Cyber World' grew up in upstate New York along the shores of the Hudson River. At 19 years old, he moved to the Mexican border town of Laredo, Texas and found a job working as the late night DJ on a small radio station. One night, he played 'Turn, Turn, Turn' by the 60's folk rock group The Byrds. As the song played, he recalled seeing the songs writer, his neighbor Pete Seeger, performing in his Dutchess County hometown in New York. By the time the song had ended, he decided to pursue a career as a folksinger.

Two months later, he bought a guitar and a banjo and settled into the isolated mountain hamlet of Mousie, Kentucky. For the next three years, he traveled up and down the hollers of the Appalachian mountains knocking on doors and learning the music of the mountain people. Michael experienced hundreds of front porch hootenannies where folks would pull out their banjos and fiddles, sit on their front porches with him and play the old songs that their grandparents taught them.

Soon enough, he began performing concerts at hundreds of colleges, schools and fairs. He performed two thousand Earth Concerts, plus benefits for the homeless, farm families, and shelters helping battered women and children. In all, he sang to over two million people in one four-year stretch. Billboard Magazine headlined him as an "UnSung Hero." He has been featured on CNN, TNN, CMT, AP, Headline News, NPR, Bravo and the BBC
