A cover of a song made a hit by the Searchers in 1964. Gabe Stenziano said this song made him think of me so I covered this and drafted him to help. Gabe is adding bass and some pure gold harmonies. Thanks Gabe.

Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by. Other SoundClick Artists I recommend: Click on their links to hear some great music! Jim DeLecce my very talented brother Great Musician and great help to me in too many ways to count.

Something new learnt here, Sonny Bono (the original Bono) wrote this, I didn’t know - love it Tony, great version from you and Gabe! Sonny could really write ‘pop’ songs with extremely strong melodies and hooks! As a kid it was the Smokie version which had us tapping our toes! Excellent work fellas!

Wow, Tony, this is SO good. Such a Powerful sound. The vocals are totally FAB. If ever you're you thinking of recording, 'When You Walk In The Room' 9another great song by The Searchers) I know you'd do a great job of it. What do you say Tony ?

Wow. Excellent!!!. An excellent match for your style and tone of voice too! Great choice of songs for you to do. Seems your recording quality is getting better too. Did you add some newer equipment?? Very nicely done and very enjoyable listen.

Oh this is lovely Tony..thanks for the heads up. And thanks too for the comments on my last one with Amy....it was the short version u heard. I have trouble posting long tracks now....but in any case, I sent Amy the wrong backing track...there was a longer one, but I so loved what she did that I didnt have the heart to send the longer one after LOL Anyway, it left you wanting more so that's good eh? On Needles and Pins....you utterly nailed it my friend!!! top marks from me. If you wondered why I've nt been around, well first my daughter was seriously ill and fighting for her life after an op, then when she fully recovered (took 3 months!!!) I decided to publish my 2 novels so I have been getting them word perfect so I can do so. At the moment they are with my 2 proof readers so won't be long til I''ll have them e-published for people to download in their kindles or computers/i-players/i-phones etc etc...quite exciting I must say all this new technology. Hope all is well
