Hi guys. I don't know if anybody's interested but between my solo CD is this winter I was working on a compilation of some ballads and standards. These won't be for sale I will press a few just to give to friends or anyone would like to have one I'm also going to put some of the songs this Soundcloud page. Check it out if you are interested. if you like them it would be great if you followed the page and even shared it! I will be adding more songs from the standards project as well as some other odds and ends of my own. This song was originally sung by Elvis Costello in the movie Notting Hill.
let me know what you think!
Thanks

very freakin nice!
there's always a time and place for a great ballad or a standard. and as i get older the melancholy music seems to hit home more than ever before.
the production quality is fantastic. do you have your own studio? did you record this yourself playing all instruments or do you have musicians that accompany you?

I do have a studio in my house. (Roland V700 Sonar X3 Pro) In these cases I am only showcasing my voice. I have about 15 ballads and standards so far, some of them I've programmed and some I'm using commercially available backing tracks.

Oh hell yes. The band, Easy Street, 1970-1988 played across the US as far west as Denver Colorado as far south as Texas southeast to Florida and across Ontario.
Shared the stages with some well-known acts probably the best-known of which would have been Carl Wilson, Gregg Allman, meatloaf, Tom Petty. also lesser known acts including Southside Johnny, Pat Travers, Joe Ely, head east, Michael Stanley, Artful Dodger and some others who have probably slipped my mind. I've been solo sincentives www.easystreetband.com

Mike and Kevin sing harmony on our album in 1982.
Tommy was our last drummer for the last trip that I probably shouldn't have booked ..

Thanks Axe.
I'd like this to be a little bit of a free-for-all board anyway.
Movies TV music art Theater; hell, anything like that. I just finished my gig at Put in Bay and will plug in the earphones and have a listen.

Well I hope you enjoy it
It's a lil different..I spent what felt like a couple lifetimes out on the circuit playing everyone else's stuff so I stay away from covers these days.. I have a fairly extensive lil home playground ( I will never again use the word "studio") where I can do everything myself music wise and do my Sat night radio thing as well.. I do collab with a Canadian Bassist on "Escape from Sheol" and the track in my sig..
Thanks for listening
