A music tale of my one and only trip to Austin Texas in 2016 for an IT Conference at the Austin Convention Center home of Austin CIty Limits. Town is a musical mecca. I wondered into this Jazz Bar called the Elephant Room. What a great evening!

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.

Story behind the song
A telling of my trip to the Elephant Room a jazz club in Austin TX. I wrote the words back in 2016 during the trip and kept them and finally came up with some music to fit it...
Lyrics
Elephant Room Words/Music Tony DeLecce 11/2016 and 2/2024 Walking down the sidewalk looking for something to do I ran into a bar called the Elephant Room I walked down the steps to a darkened basement room I heard the band playing a familiar Jazz tune VERSE2 I took a seat in the corner by the stage in front of the band I saw the guitarist fingers and I heard the Baby Grand I ordered a tall Beer as the singer joined the band I was flying high already when she took me by the hand VERSE3 The Bass was laying the groove the band was setting the mood The singer was taking them higher all the way up to the moon They came back to earth in time for the next tune as the crowd began to filter into the elephant room BRIDGE Don't ask me how I got here I dont know Some things in life turn out that way If I had turned left two blocks ago I would have missed the show LEAD GUITAR BREAK My friend from work he found me asked me where did I go I said the music called to me I had to see the show I walked down these steps into the Elephant Room I'm sorry that I lost you I couldnt leave these tunes VERSE5 I hope you understand now that your in the Elephant Room Why dont you order a beer and get some food I promise we can leave here right after the show Please dont make me leave here I dont want to go VERSE6 He said that I will stay here as long as there is beer I have nowhere else to be so I might as well be here Thats why I came down the steps to the Elephant Room I knew that he would find me as soon as he heard the tunes BRIDGE Don't ask me how I got here I dont know Some things in life turn out that way If I had turned left two blocks ago I would have missed the show VERSE7 Walking down the sidewalk looking for something to do I ran into a bar called the Elephant Room I walked down the steps to a darkened basement room I heard the band playing a familiar Jazz tune VERSE8 I took a seat in the corner by the stage in front of the band I saw the guitarist fingers and I heard the Baby Grand I ordered a tall Beer as the singer joined the band I was flying high already when she took me by the hand VERSE9 The Bass was laying the groove the band was setting the mood The singer was taking them higher all the way up to the moon If you find yourself in Austin looking for something to do Let me recommend to you the Elephant Room
