Tuxedos In The Midnight Sun

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
I crossed a musical spectrum, in some ways, with these 18 original songs, which might best be heard in an intimate coffee house or cocktail lounge setting. Each song tells something of a story: love fulfilled or unfulfilled ('Moonlight on the Delta' and 'My One and Only'); songs addressing global warming ('Goin to Duluth' and 'Tuxedos in the Midnight Sun'), a song questioning our continued occupation in Afghanistan ('Is Anybody Home?') and one that tells of a racial incident not easily forgotten 50 years ago at a university dance ('Roxanne'); lighter songs: 'The Cookie Song' is a spoof on a disgusting old song everyone knew at one time, 'Shortnun Bread', 'Zombie Parade'- a song Count Basie or Ray Charles should have written, but didn't, and 'Owl Be Seizing You'- takes it's name from the old Billie Holiday standard and Liberace theme 'I'll Be Seeing You'; an End of Days ballad (or global warming?), 'Lead Us to Moriah' a Caribbean Blessing song, 'Islands in the Sun'; a non-verbal vocal set to a favorite classic I called, 'Bach's Romantic Prelude'; a Delta blues, faux funeral dirge, carries premonitions in 'I Dreamed I Was Fallin'. The song 'For All the Dreamers' pays tribute to the John Lennon ballad style. The romantic song 'Balladeer' is sung in Spanish, depicting the innocence of a romantic young suitor in Costa Rica. 'Puppeteer' has a surreal quality of the old west in the present day ghost town of Shakespeare, New Mexico with an ironic twist. 'Runs About Twice the Speed of Light' is a poignant goodbye to a past life. 'They Closed Eden', captures optimism even if Paradise may be lost.
