Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

Lyrics
I remember the day we got the big brown box it had a walnut finish with a gold grille cloth everyone watched 'til they were nearly blind and it stole our hearts as it was stealing our minds Cronkite and Kennedy, Pepsodent, Brylcreem and beer Saturday morning cartoons, our attention never veered until the white dot disappeared Well you could say things have only gotten worse since then we get the six o'clock news reports from Barbie and Ken and the pull-string pundits each and every night try to keep us divided on the left and the right People reduced to consumers are fading to black and every moment you watch is one you won't get back it's time to throw the tv out the window No interaction it's just a distraction, a way to control all mankind come on, you bobblehead, wake up and take back your mind it's time to throw the tv out it's time to throw the tv out the window
