Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook!
I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born.
I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well.
Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by.

You and Tammy did a wonderful collab here. This song has a definite Beatles feel to it. This song is well-written, painting a picture of how so often in relationships, we are too pre-occupied to communicate properly. Great job!

Tony ,
your 5 star hot clikcer here, the first thing I notice is it is so Beatley , in it's 3/4 waltzy melody , Sir Paul liked 3/4 and ragtime and such older styles of music especially on the white Album, the acoustic in conjunction with the piano makes me imagine I am hearing a harpsichord , nice production and mix , the lyrics remind me of " For no one " and " she's leaving home ", yes very touching images , one cooment i would make is i would have liked to hear more of the horn solo , personal taste ,
cheers

This song is very well written and a waltz is a great changeup from all the 4/4 stuff we do. Tammy's keys are in perfect time. Her harmonies fatten out the chord nicely. Great Beatles '67-68 feel. I think a build down after the first bridge to nothing but piano and voice would have been a nice contrast to the rest of the track where most of the instruments are going for most of the song. I could pick on you here but the song is so melodic I can't go through with it.
The lyrics are stunningly poignant and speak to the millions of marriages that end in stony sadness. Your ability to weave phrases that paint gripping emotional portraits is very, very impressive. The images and emotions are so subtle and yet they hit you like a feight train. Well done on many levels. Congrats!

Wowie! Oldie but Goldie in a new dress.Yes,I can hear the piano by Tammy.Pretty neat addition.Bass is very low in the mix,I can't properly hear it.Despite of this, I enjoyed this song very much.Truly bearing your own signature that's so Fab as Fab can be.

Now, what piano player did you fire again? LOL!!
I enjoyed the opportunity to help you once again. :D
Sounding pretty good. :D
This is a sad song in some ways, but well performed, and the instruments sound good, Tony. :D
This is almost eerie...you sound so much like Paul McCartney in this song! Great job by you and Tammy on this one, nice to hear a song in 3/4 - often not an easy time signature to write in.
