Xmas 2015? Download "new tunes"?
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 desperate attempt to jolt me off my lazy ass and get me to take control of my so-called "career". Well, it looks like her final gambit might pay off; divorce court looms and my sink or swim instinct finally engages, creaking and whining, from decades of desuetude.
Henceforth, this dusty blog will be refreshed regularly, regardless of whether or not anyone reads the damned thing. It will be a sort of catharsis for me; if no one reads it or likes it, tough shit...it's my catharsis, not yours!
This, my first entry, will include a song I recently wrote for my future ex-wife Martha; it was written as if in a future time, which has now become the present; make of it what you will. All you need to know is in this song, "My Last Love"; I wrote it, but Joe Turano made it sound like God's own tears falling.
By the way, I see that at "The Listening Bar" you can listen to a tune called "Only You (for Martha)", so innocent and so naive. You could listen to this song and "My Last Love" as bookends, separated by 18 years. Poignant? I'm sobbing already.
Until next time, when I will present something a bit more "upbeat",
Tony
