You Don't Know How It Feels (in 7/4) (live in Siberia 7-5-24)

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still...

Tom Petty - Learning to Fly (re disco ver ''Ain't Got Wings'' Good ol' Days Club Mix) back to 91

Once in Awhile was first written and demoed 1-2 years ago. I've recently decided to revisit and finish it up (added new drums, piano and guitar parts) as well as autotune the crap out of my tortured vocals. It's a nice little song in my opinion.  As always, we greatly appreciate your stopping by to have a listen and if you like what you've heard please don't hesitate to let others know.  We welcome reposts and general good vibes.  Best!

Once in Awhile (2025 Mix)

Show 30

I Won't Back Down is a song first written and recorded by Tom Petty for his album Full Moon Fever.  While this newly recorded version has some of our own flavor, it is a fairly faithful cover of that brilliant song. Emily sings on this one.  We hope you like what you hear.  If you do, please don't hesitate to let others know and as always we welcome reposts, support, and  general good vibes. Cheers.

I Won’t Back Down

All the Lights Were Red is the title track from a project that I worked on a few years back. I have repurposed Emily's vocals and re-built and recorded the song from the ground up  It features some cool guitar parts, including a strange by my standards, chord sequence. As always, thanks for stopping by to have a listen.  If you like what you've heard, please let others know and feel free to repost.  We welcome all support and positive vibes.  cheers.

A songwriting/recording project initiated to focus on the writing talents of Robert Sterling as well as several very talented collaborators/singers.  Older, wiser and definitely better, Sterling and colleagues continue to pump out irresistibly catchy pop/rock/alternative tunes.

Where is the purpose in your life
Where is the truth
Do you remember your hopes Your dreams
They are no longer your own
This day is for living your own life
Don't let this world capture your heart
Your passion lost to a thousand themes
Surrendered to the screen
This is not a story
This is not a book this is your life
And this is not a play
Some TV show you've seen
This is real life
