A little slice of early 60s childhood, Elgin, Illinois style ...

Sharry Blazier's Album

Slop Hill

Crazy, Wanna Come With?

Another song inspired by the old days in my hometown of Elgin, Illinois ... This was my parents' idea of a fun time on Friday and Saturday nights in the early 1960s: Go downtown and watch tipsy people. To give it an air of authenticity, I recorded it rather ... tipsy. And it shows.

Seamy Underbelly (You Like It, It Likes You)

Childhood nightmares can stay with us all our lives! Guest performance here from Brandon Blazier on guitar solo and some background vocals.

Over My Shoulder

The South End of Elgin, Illinois always had, and still has, its own distinct flavor ...

South End Blues

Wave

Don't Promise Me Thunderstorms WED 3rd mix AAC

I wanted to write a hometown song that would sound like Steve Goodman and somehow it ended up sounding like carnival music left on the Sgt. Pepper cutting room floor. My voice sucks. I'm old, can't fix it anymore. Ah, well.

This Is My Elgin (Epic)

In the 50s-70s in my hometown of Elgin, Illinois, guys rode their cars in circles around the downtown district. This was considered the pinnacle of fun in town. This song is dedicated to all those guys. Anybody know a good saxophone player?
