"Listen to this track by golden-throated singer-songwriter and soon-to-be Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer Harry Nilsson. It’s “Turn On Your Radio”, a deep-cut from his 1972 album Son of Schmilsson. The record is a self-consciously-titled follow-up to his Nilsson Schmilsson album, which is his biggest selling record to date.

This tune is deceptively simple and unadorned lyrically speaking. After all, the idea of turning on your radio can be taken literally; turn on your radio and listen to my song. That’s what all artists want in the end, right? But, the subtext of turning on your radio goes beyond artists and radio play in this song. It’s about being in tune with our own existence, and becoming more self-aware and in tune to what’s going on around us while we can, because life is short, uncertain, and always moving toward the future.

In the middle of this, none of us know where we’re going, really. And we all hope the wind that’s blowin’ helps us all carry on. We all want those we love to hear our song while we’re still around to sing it, and to remember it after we’re gone. We want to hear their songs while we can, too. We want our lives to have some lasting significance."                            The Delete Bin

SCENE 17: Last drink alone at the bar

Just remember your three "s's" before you go on.  Star. Smile. Strong. 

STAR SMILE STRONG

Smokes and glossy idols like the titles of a wave
Smash with planned abandon drawing pigeon popcorn slaves
Plaid Formica run ways stop the o.j. from seeping down
Coffee pot parables bring out the cannibals in us
Get on the bus

It’s time to leave and search for a better way
Amputate the old and gray and blue
Find room to breathe as pure as an icicle
Remember Danny’s tricycle of truth
Star, Smile, Strong!

Bells and whistle folly, here’s to the garni du jour
Eat your velvet Elvis in his studded white decor
Re-run dreams of Jeanie
still make your Beany - Cecil sore
Sissy bar, black tube lights, high school gown full of mites and dust
Gotta get on the bus ‘cause

It’s time to leave and search for a better way
Amputate the old and gray and blue
Find room to breathe as pure as an icicle
Remember Danny’s tricycle of truth
Star, Smile, Strong!

(Pompous movie theater music - and then suddenly...)

Mr. Movie Trailer :
Get out the popcorn!

Meryl Mathews sings:

I love the beach in Bikinicom
My heart is pounding like the waves in the ocean
Hot times in Bikinicom
Where all the guys and girls cause a commotion
Bikinicom open up and take me away
Bikinicom open up I wish I could stay
I wish I could stay
Stay all day

Baby won’t you take me for a...

Harry Nilsson - One (HR Shovenstuff Remix)

"Everybody's Talkin' (Echoes)" is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Fred Neil in 1966 and released two years later. A version of the song performed by the American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson became a hit in 1969, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and winning a Grammy Award after it was featured in the film Midnight Cowboy. The song, which describes the singer's desire to retreat from the harshness of the city to a more peaceful place and an easier life, is among the most famous works of both artists, and has been covered by many other notable performers.

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.

Love the classic music of the past. Hope what I put out there will enlighten young listeners that may never have heard these songs.

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.

mixes are time capsules of sound. each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way. each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination. these are soundtracks for daily living..."music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything"
