If you're a fan of 70's music, check out Lickerish Quartet ... 
(even if they are not from the 70's !!!)
... some former members of Jellyfish

• Loads of musical / vocal talent
• Sound like Queen, The Beatles; The Moody Blues
• Use of "Tunelings" on Bluebirds Blues
  • So you can follow the arrangement as you listen
  • In order to find the Tunelings version, search "Lickerish Quartet Band"

Great stuff ... for those who like this kind of music!!!

We have lost one of our truly magnificent songwriters. Here is the link to American Songwriter's interview with John Prine (by Paul Zollo):

You can feel his honesty, and humility. John can make you laugh and smile just by being John!

Enjoy!

Kenny sang the Lead Vocal on my Finalist song (Great American Songwriting Contest) "Callin' Through the Night"

To this day, my favourite vocal Kenny has performed for me is "Heaven's Lost and Found" - outstanding!!!

He sings from a deep inner feel which clearly comes naturally to him.

Inducted onto the Peterborough Path of Fame. Pay…

Highly recommended ... SONGWRITERS ON SONG WRITING, by Paul Zollo
 
RANDY NEWMAN's use of the "untrustworthy narrator"
PAUL SIMON - "You want to have that first line that has a lot of options ... you have to be a good host to people's attention span"
CAROLE KING, on 'writer's block': "I have found that the key to not being blocked is to not worry about it. Ever. Do something else ... come back ... try again ... but do it in a relaxed manner"

Fascinating and informative, and very funny along the way!

From last March ... 

 ... Hearing Jon Cleary at the 2015 Po-Boy Festival in New Orleans inspired a bluesy piano AABA song - "It Ain't True"

It took a while to come together; lots of edits and rewrites; Ken DesChamp provided a stellar lead vocal.

I'd love to hear The Absolute Monster Gentlemen singing the title!

Cheers,
Roy
