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.

Story behind the song
Had to do with the deep south and race uprisings going on at that time Beatles Drum Track and a snippet at the very end as it had Blackbirds singing. All guitars my Martin D35 and my Taylor 814 CE... Perhaps too much guitar? Going to remix probably

When I discovered the ‘white’ album at the very old age of 18 (late to the party) I loved every bit of John’s sour to Paul’s sweet, George’s mix of both and Ringo’s ease of being able to just be Ringo…Blackbird so nicely sat amongst Lennon’s ‘I’m so Tired’ and George’s ‘Piggies’ adding such a beautiful interlude amongst the mayhem of that Lp - you did this song so well Tony, 10/10! Great!

A very nice natural sound to the acoustic guitars Tony. Excellent cover. I can play this, but not half as well and cleanly as you have here. Nice blackbird sound.

Not too many guitars, Tony, this is great and your vocals sit on top of the great mix which I like a lot. Excellent!!!
