I'm back, after a short break to collect my thoughts; they are now collected. During my brief vacation, I wrote a new song, which was produced by Joe Turano. I'll let you listen before I continue this blog entry. Just click on "Tony's Audio Page" up above my face, to hear "Waterfall"; it's the story of my life in three minutes. Well, I think I've expended enough mental energy for one day, so I'll say goodbye for now. Goodbye!
Approximately one year ago, I wrote a song called "Something's Not The Same", an upbeat, kind of snarky ode to a love affair in the process of going awry. It was, of course, biographical, as are most of my songs, coming at a time when my marriage was just beginning to unravel, but nowhere near the disaster that it's become. If you heard "My Last Love", from a previous post, you know where it is now. In any event, Joe Turano performed his musical magic on the song, transforming my thin gruel into the…
Read moreBack in 1977, I was living in Los Angeles and working the local club circuit with a band of Wisconsin expats which I had assembled under the whimsical and cryptic moniker "Quiffy". The band had recently recorded Tom Jenkins's title song for the TV series "Breakaway", starring William Shatner.

The format of the show was that Shatner would interview ordinary working people who had unusual…
Read moreI'd like to thank all of my friends who commented on my new song, "My Last Love". Although I appreciate the concern and commiseration over my current circumstances, I can assure all of you that I am just fine and you needn't worry about me.
All I would ask is that you continue to share the video; if the song were to become a huge hit, I might be able to afford my divorce attorney! Well, if it gets to that point; with all the prayers and good wishes, perhaps it won't! I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to…

All right, "The Tygers' Second Album" went nowhere, "Some Kinda Jazzy Poppy Jazz" acquired numerous "fans", but no sales, The DebbieDancyDuo was snubbed by every agent from here to Singapore and that damned metal Christmas tree is in a landfill somewhere.
So in 2017, as my life crumbles away, I am back for one more desperate shot at...what? A successful band? A hit record? Ha! My future ex-wife Martha created everything you see on this long forgotten website, in her…

Couple of blog posts featuring an old tune from the Flintstones that Craig Fairchild and I wrote back in the early 70's - Bedrock Blues! And one where he plays "How Long Does It Take" from the "new" Tygers Second Album.
This is what Jango Radio fans are saying:
“ wow 3 times in 2 hours i get to hear this song awesome thanks mr dancy you poured your heart into this song have a great day. ”
“ finally a artist that knows what smooth jazz is all about thanks for your time producing this music. ” “ Nice groove" “ good music ” “ very nice ” “ nice sax on sunday ” “ i love it ” “ love Martha's Mood ” “ soothing ” “ VERY GOOD ” “ Great stuff! ” “ great! ”
Tony Dancy shines with Sadie’s Magic Garden, thanks to a catchy and upbeat melody. This instrumental track will draw immediate comparisons to Dave Koz, but make no mistake… Dancy holds his own. An impressive performance from an artist sure to be one of the top names in smooth jazz in the near future!
