a blend of excerpts from 2005's (?I think--it's been so long now, time seems to run together) 'new from K-TEL!'.  a rather prophetic piece for me.  at least 'bittersweet' things have a hint of some redeeming value; now i'm just bitter about the whole thing?

"eclectic" is probably the best descriptor for my music. Clearly influenced by my lifelong musical preferences --rooted in the british invasion, 70's prog rock, and jazz/blues. Steely Dan and Pink Floyd are significant influences, as are The Who and Zeppelin. Lyrics are either in the works or available for many tunes/song fragments, but I'm not quite ready with the vocal tracks on most. Most cuts are rough drafts--often first and second takes. Most grooves are part of larger "concept"-type projects--throwback to the days when an album had a theme....working on the proverbial "Rock Opera" as well.  As the icons of our youth pass one-by-one into eternity (at an increasingly alarming rate) the sad realization is that we have only those precious few moments captured on 'tape' to remember them by--hopefully my music pays homage to the likes of Townshend, Page, Gilmour/Waters, Becker/Fagen, and countless others who have aided my search for a greater meaning to this Life. They "got it". Perhaps some of us did too...
