Musician/songwriter Born in England, grew up in N.Y. and now live in Florida. ENJOY!
Hans Boos RIP 1966-2019 I moved songs my brother Hans and I wrote to a separate song page. I will be adding more. If anyone wants to hear a cool vocalist, killer drummer and bass player go visit assortedpeople. Thanks. Lee Boos Project I am a 63 year old musician/songwriter, collectively writing progressive, alternative, soft and southern rock songs for at least 45 years. Between my Brother Hans and I we have written close to 300 songs. Hans recently passed away but he seems to show up in the form of some of the drum and bass styles that I have written into my latest songs. Thanks Hans, I miss you. RIP. Besides music, I am an avid golfer holding a 3 hdc. I work in the pro shop at Coral Oaks golf club in Cape Coral, Florida. I am currently semi- retired. Whoever visits, I hope you will enjoy my music. Here is a little more background. I dropped out of music for a bit in order to re group and become inspired by life and family. But let the truth be known, my Brother Hans has been the driving force in my rekindling the flame and fire in my belly. We went about 2 to 3 years without any means to record songs until recently. Hans built a new home studio. As I sampled his music the fire grew in me and I too, put together another home studio. I have gone the DAW, digital audio workstation, interface and midi. Hans had continued with a 32 track digital console up until he passed away. Both studios seemed to produce beautiful music. More about Lee and Hans P.S. my brother Hans wrote this upcoming part of the Bio back in 2006 when we joined soundclick. He was a funny guy and always acted like the younger brother that he was. so I'm not going to edit this much! Lee Sommers(Name de la stage)has been playing guitar since right about when they invented it... We think he played the first "rock" guitar - in that it was built out of stone. Hans Von Bous(name de la bullshitta es la staga)Has been playing several instruments for many years. For years they have played music together and have written hundreds of songs. They would sometimes be the entertainment at family get togethers, etc... Lee being the elder brother had musical experience first and was an inspiration to his younger brother, Hans. Lee played in a band called Mountain Ash and jammed guitar at home sometimes, playing the acoustic and singing John Denver and such. Hans joined in with harmonies and started playing drums on a banjo skin. Later the kit grew to paint cans, bass drums, snares, and other household percussion objects. Lee's guitar playing talent progressed along with the piano and Hans picked up other instruments along the way, Bass and drums Later on became quit the guitarist as well. They both put together what they could eventually both contributing renditions of several instruments, voicings, styles, etc... Favorite spot? N.Y.C. however they live in sw. Florida now. 1997-2019 SoundClick Inc.

Story behind the song
I played this song in the late 70's in a band also, this song changed my brother from disco to rock and it was the first song he learned to play and sing at age 12. Love you Bro.
Lyrics
On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things there was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with it's life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain in the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la
