As of June 20, 2023 it was at No. 4 on the World Indie Chart list;  No. 10 on the Euro Indie chart ranking list and No.18 on the prestigious US TOP 20 SHOW.

Annunciation
Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." And the angel left her.

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
Be it done unto me according to thy word.
And the word was made flesh,
And dwelt amongst us.

Navititas

𝐀 𝐋𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐲 💤

I’ve faced numerous challenges in my life, sometimes stoically enduring them. However, it’s difficult to articulate this particular feeling. I hardly showcase my softer side. The truth is, I experience far more pain than I let I love everyone in my family deeply, including my friends I’ve known throughout my life. I’m incredibly grateful for what I have in my life because I’m acutely aware of what I’ve lost. 

I Long for the Times

I don’t know how to process
Losing everything in my life
Missing friends and family 
I hoped would still be there today 

My younger years is when I thought I knew
life’s game 
Should have known 
that time can strip it all away 

This brutal honesty is 
A way to sort my feelings
I’d give up everything and
Go back to way it was again 

In my later years thought I’d accomplish
everything
Now all I hope is more time
with those who’ve flown away

This brutal honesty is 
A way to sort my feelings
I’d give up everything and
Go back to way it was again  

I wanna fade away this time
I wanna face away this time

Moved here thinking it be a wonderland 
Slowly turned into a brutal nightmare 

This brutal honesty is  (I wanna feel again)
A way to sort my feelings 
I’d give up everything and 
Go back to way it was again (Don’t wanna wait for some other day I wanna feel again) )

This brutal honesty is 
A way to sort my feelings (lost my) 
I’d give up everything and (lost my)
Go back to way it was again (way again) 

I long for the times when we were a 
little island 
I wanna heal from the scars
they’ll never go away

I Long for the Times

The Amen chorus is the eighth and last track on my album Requiem Quia Magnus Vir (Requiem for a Great Man) which you can hear in full here: https://on.soundcloud.com/2vuDi9U9Ry7292NV8

Funny story: This track, along with all the others on this album, was made by A.I. with just me supplying the lyrics and prompts to tell it what I wanted. But when I put in "Amen", the A.I. bot told me I couldn't have it because the word is copyrighted. 😲

So here is how I got around it:

Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men   
Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men
Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men
Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men

8. Amen

Broken prayers, midnight truths, hopin’ to hold on.” Verses ride a low-gear groove of gravel snares and organ drone; the chorus erupts with choir-stacked harmonies built for fist-pump salvation. Spoken bridge drops the band to engine hum and windshield rain before a steel-slide solo shouts the sermon no preacher could. If you’ve ever chased redemption past empty signs on half a tank, this one’s your altar call on wheels.

🎧 Crank it with the windows down at 3 a.m.
💬 Drop your favorite highway to sing this on.
🔁 Repost if the backseat ever felt like church.

MUSIC BIO FOR DR. WALLY J. BARTFAY
Dr. Wally Bartfay is a retired Professor and former Associate Dean (August, 2024) for the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.  He was also affectionately known as the “Rock N’ Prof” by his students because he often played original songs that he has written prior to the commence of lectures to create certain vibes and buzzes in his classes. His music has appeared on Euro Indie Music Chart lists top 1; World Indie Music Chart lists top 1 and 2; BWNR music list top 5, and the US Top 20 Show- Weekly Pulse of Music at No. 18. In 2024, he had 3 No. 1 Indie hits on the Euro Indie Network Music Charts and World Indie Top 100 Music Chart lists with collaborator Stephen Wrench: 1. You're My Beautiful; 2. Little Sunshine Girl and 3. Cherry Hill Gal.  Stephen has been a 6x Grammy Awardee and has won over 50 Gold and Platinum records throughout his career journey that spans 5 decades now. 
I have been invited to appear on several radio stations, music podcasts, YouTube music channels and interviews with music magazines during the past year.  Examples include B-line Entertainment; Phil Kratz Radio Show; Blackdog Indie Country Radio; James Cox Show; Empowerment Divas Network; The Anything Goes Podcast with Duzzy Clayton; Curtis Johnson Music Podcase; Kayden Gordon Show- Today’s Best Country Mix; Radio interview on the Jeff Rickett Show, Country KIX 96.5 FM; Paul Mash TV; Playin’ On Music Row with Fran, and an interview with Fanbase Music Magazine to name but a few.
Ever since Wally was a little lad, he wanted to play the electric guitar and make music that creates smiles on people’s faces. He can remember playing his imaginary electric "air guitar" in his parents’ basement to various rock and country songs for hours on end. He got his first guitar when he turned 14 after taking on various odds jobs including pumping gas on weekends and cutting lawns.  He quickly learned to play it on his very own, along with several other instruments. Wally has also done research related to the benefits of music therapy as a nonpharmacological intervention with patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  He got interested in researching the clinical benefits of music as medicine after his father was diagnosed with vascular dementia following a series of strokes that left him bed bound in a nursing home.  Ironically, this is the same nursing home that he used to put on volunteer Christmas concerts for during his youth in his community. He is passionate about song writing and his songs often reflect personal experiences and challenges that he has faced over the years. Each song contains components of his genuine lived experiences, heart, and soul as an artist.
