HG SCHMITZ - SOFTLY SOFTLY CATCHEE MONKEY, 2014 / 2015

One of the most friendly and honest persons we ever met on Fandalism is Miss 

NICOLE TREMBLAY.

Today is a special day. Nicole got born only a few years ago on that day. So it is time to celebrate and to give her some music cause that's what she is living for - the same as we do.

Dear Nicole !

Hilde and I want to congratulate you deeply from our hearts !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUN !!!!!

Over the years you became such a great friend. It is a pity that there is this large geographical distance between us. 
Think we would have a lot of fun together if we would live in the neighbourhood. 

We wish you health, love and peace, contentment and lots of fun and joy. Stay as you are, be yourself as you have always been and make us happy with lots of new songs. 

And baby - I hope  "The Day Will Come" that you are going to sing  "The Day Will Come", lol !! Because now you know:

"SOFTLY SOFTLY CATCHEE MONKEY" !!!

All the best from Hilde and myself !

DINO CUOCO + HG SCHMITZ - JOIN ME !, 2010 / 2015

Before I came to Fando I posted my music on a German internet platform. At least I can say it were 2 years of waisted time having been there. But on this page I met DINO CUOCO for the very first time. He is working in a totally different style as I do but I always respected him as a seriously working musician.

I think it was in 2010 when he posted this song in it's original version. Please go to his page and listen to it first before you listen to the revised version I have created so you can compare much better and see in which way the song has expanded. Here you will find it:

When I heard this tune for the very first time I immediately had the idea of doing some funky adds and you all know what a sucker for funk I am. So I adjoined a few funky guitars, several bass parts, cowbells and some other bells and of course - the funky horns. All the rest got done by Dino.

The result became a funny little Pop-Funk tune that you will enjoy, hopefully.

Thank you very much for the permission to post this tune to my Fando page, Dino.

Greets to everyvody !

Dino & HG,

HG SCHMITZ - NEVER EVER, 2014 / 2015

I want to dedicate this song to  Mr. DAVID SPRAGGE.

Hi Dave !

You are such a faithful listener and supporter of my music. 
I think you need my mark of recognition. Thanks for the attention you pay to my songs and your always so very kind comments you send me. 

Belatedly a Happy New Year to you and yours !

Btw, when is your birthday ? You haven't added your date of birth to Facebook and that's where I'm orientating. 


This project is a little experiment.

What begins as a smooth soul pop tune changes during the course of the song to a rocking guitar ruction. 

The whole guitar solo got recorded by improvisation. At the rehearsal room of my friend Philip I played about 2 hours over the backing instrumental you hear behind the guitar.  
Philip recorded everything. I simply freaked out while playing.

When I came home I analysed all the stuff and actually the solo of the final song version wasn't planed for that length. 
I cut the most useful parts and put them together to a new functionable something. This here is the result.

Hope you like it David.

And I hope as well you all like it !

HG SCHMITZ - IT'S A RIP-OFF, 2015

After several posts of fun and parody tunes I want to come back to seriousness. 

What I prefer to create and really can do the best is FUNK.
So I recorded a new funk rock song in the past 4 weeks. 

I have to say that I got inspired here by RON FULTON who has the funk in his blood. Currently I have the honor of working on some songs he wrote and it is a pleasure and treat to listen to his compositions. This man is an institution in case of funk. You have nudged me, Ron !

Please turn up the volume and enjoy Ladies and Gentlemen !!

HG SCHMITZ - 

LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG, 2015

Recorded in Dec 2014 and Jan 2015. 

This is FUNK.

No extensive guitar solos - just rhythm guitars, drums, bass and snyths programmings and of course - some horns !

After a longer period I dared to program a new horns arrangement. Takes damn much time.

Hope you like it girls and guys. 

Please enjoy !

JOHNNY GRAUENGAARD + HG SCHMITZ - 

DIRTY WORLD (Sweet Snugness), 2015


Today Johnny and I proudly present our new common work.

When I'd recorded the instrumental around Oct and Nov 2014 I called the result "Sweet Snugness". After I sent the song to Johnny he started to write the lyrics and finally the title changed to "DIRTY WORLD" - according to the story he tells in his vocals. I kept the original title in brackets.

This song is another proof for Johnny's skills in singing pop music. You send him a song idea and he immediately cracks the code and creates the perfect vocal line. 
I am so very impressed by his abilities as a singer artist and it makes me very proud having him on my side for productions like this.

HG SCHMITZ - GETTING OFF THE SUNDAY SUIT, 2015

I had a beautiful youth and wonderful parents who raised me up as the only child of the family. I`d been wantless happy.

There was only one thing I hated so very much.
 
On Sundays I had to wear this stupid Sunday suit cause my parents thought the boy has to get dressed up fine on these days. 

It meant to me that I couldn`t play football or doing other things kids like to do at the age around 10 up to 15 cause I had to be careful not to flaw or smudge this fucking suit.

When Sunday evening came I was so very happy I could get off this abhorrent suit and that`s what the song title is talking about.

I want to dedicate this song to the 52nd birthday of Mr.

 ALBERT DeSOTO.


Hi Al !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Hilde and myself. 

This song got written and recorded in September 2014 and is one of the tunes I saved in my folder of unreleased tracks. 
When Facebook reminded me of your birthday today Hilde and I decided for this track as your birthday gift. We hope it brings you lots of joy and you like it. It is some kind of retro rock as I would like to call it. Please enjoy !

All our best from here and in this case it means from Norway.
