'Alternative America' looking forward through a rear view mirror. 2018 we live in a world where truth is no more credible than the illusions we believe in. Perhaps we'll think beyond our assumptions this time around.

01 Track 1  TRIVIAL PURSUIT

Reflections of being too busy to pay attention to what really matters most 'THIS TIME OF YEAR'. The 'hosts of heaven' missing our thoughts and prayers as we run in circles during the holidays.
This may be romantic as well as spiritual. Your choice..what ever fits your experience of 'THIS TIME OF YEAR'. Pass it on to famly and friends

THIS TIME OF YEAR

A song I wrote and recorded in 1996 for an old friend in Chicago facing the challenges of living with hiv/aids. Key phrase in the lyric,'just talk to me like you used to do'. When your friends or loved ones go through these uncertain times, your love and support may be the only thread they still have to a normal life.
In the darkest hour you can be their light, and they can be yours as well. You can still 'DANCE WITH ME' in spite of the circumstances. PASS IT ON.

YOU GIVE ME HOPE/(DANCE WITH ME)

A response to a dear friend that was devastated by a sudden unexpected break-up that we had gone through previously. Compassion, empathy and understanding are the elements of this song. I would wish upon nobody, THIE HEARTACHE THAT I CALL HELL.

THIS HEARTACHE THAT I CALL HELL

A musical portrait of my Great grandmother Louisa Sessa Ianonne from her descriptions of Avellino Italy circa 1899. She was 'dark and brooding', forgeting nothing but saying little about it. This is what I remember

01 Sanctuary 17 August 2006

Perhaps a wedding song for those who've been 'around the block' a time or two. Loyalty, committment for a life time love. THE MAN THAT I AM ain't playin' around no more. Let's do this thing once and for all!!!!

The Man That I Am

A song for my Mother and Father written about a year ago.Reflecting in spite of all things, IT'S STILL A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. I am grateful to still be alive. Peace and Blessings, Thom.

THIS IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

A postcard to myself. Out of love, out of a home. Reflections of being displaced. This too has passed. Be encouraged, wait and pray, your storm will soon be over.
