Still Bluzin' For You

   

For purchasing information click on album cover.

This page is dedicated to this CD Album, "Still Bluzin' For You".   In continuation from the first album I wish  to thank everyone that has supported me on this venture (adventure) and the encouragement that you all gave me to continue on to produce this the second album.  It's great to have such good friends and support from people that I know well and some I barely know at all.  This album is dedicated to you all.  Unlike  most musicians I don't have the dreams that I'll some day make it big but even if  I can make it small, it is all because of, and for you.  You'll notice that the titles of my CD's have YOU in them.  That's there because it's for you that I put my music down, and I'll continue to do my best to make it presentable.

Special thanks go to Dave Goray for his input of lead guitar track in 'Settin' The Mood".  Also, a special thanks goes to Ron Pitchford, Jr.  for his bass tracks on tunes.  He's a great friend and a very talented bassist.  Also thanks to my Son, Bryan for posing for the shot on the album cover.

This cover really speaks for itself.  Not much to say about it except it was fun putting it together.   You'll notice a couple insignias on the bottom corners of this cover.  This is to salute not just my Special Forces Brothers but to all Soldiers that protect us and our constitutional republic and in memory of all lost but not forgotten and fallen comrades.   Last but not least, I played all instruments (in some cases) and did all vocals except the bonus track.  This is what's great about being an independent artist, I can do the music the way you and I both want to hear it and package it so that everyone hopefully can afford it.

1. Like A Cat - Yeah it's about pickin' up a hitchhiker back in the '70's.  It's something I rarely do but it just seemed right at the time.  My passenger was a dark haired beauty with dark eyes that was tall and slender with little baggage.  Well carrying baggage that is.  When she started her story LA felt like a million miles away.   Everything about her reminded me of a cat.  I think I actually dropped her off somewhere around Fresno.  Hope she made it to her destination.  2. Look In The Mirror - This started being about everyone else's problems and me having to put up with 'em but ended up being more realistic.  Oh, the big red "S" is something I used to say "Does it look like I have a big "S" stamped in my forehead?"  It's supposed to represent "Stupid."  In some cases I might have been right on target without even knowing it.  3. Ride Or Play The Blues - One of my favorites.  I've ridden' a motorcycle or a two wheeled motorized something since as far back as I can remember.  It's a ficticious song because I've rode and played music since I was just a youngster.  I ride and I play as much as I can.  4. What You Gonna Do - Well, what you gonna do if you're in the same situations that are in the song?  Me, I just get home and write about it.  5. I Choose The Blues - The title says it all.  I've played different types of music along my musical journey and I've just found a home in the blues.    6. Hat Trick - This one has a real story about it but it gets a bit sorted so I'll just leave it to be said that someone tried to shaft me good one time.  It was a rediculous situation as most are but it inspired me to write so.... the blues strike again.  So I guess I can say thanks for the bad times?  eh.  7.  BiPolar Blues - Ever known anyone that was bipolar?  It may be an illness and I feel for those that have it but, get help.  For those that need help but don't get it it affects everyone around them mostly in a negative way.  It may be sad but for those around them it's tragic.  This kind of says a little about how it has affected me.  8. Disparity -  About a timeless subject about how the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill and when you find that greener grass, over the next hill it's greener yet.   9. I Play Dem Blues - that's just what I do.   10. My Toyota - Ever owned a car that just wouldn't quit no matter how neglected it was.  I've owned Toyota's since the '70's and I have owned many different styles and they've always been great cars for me.  I don't own any right now but if I sell enough CD's maybe I'll get another one.    11.  Settin' The Mood - this is a fun song that I wrote for the lovers out there.  The music is blues but the theme is not to be lonely.  12. Play For You - This is a song I wrote for everyone that listens to my music.  I play music for 2 reasons; for the love of perfoming my tunes for you, and seeing you all enjoying it.  If  I ever get to the point that these two criteria aren't being met.  I'll quit.
