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
I confess I am totally fascinated with Aliens and all the craziness around them. I think we need to kill them before they kill us. They are not our Friends! And I DONT MEAN THOSE ESTONIAN BORN ALIENS EITHER.
Lyrics
Ballad of Roswell Words/Music Tony DeLecce 1/1/2003 In 1947, on a lonely desert road A light in the heavens was bright and aglow The Earth was shaking The sun was low Out in the desert Was the crash of a UFO You can believe anything you choose only God knows the truth It was a day to remember A story to be told How the alien bodies Were found dead in New Mexico The government tells their story Chords: Rock/Roll F,B to C/A They try to hide the truth Bridge C/A They say it never happened They say there is no proof You can believe Anything you choose But I know The truth In 1947, they were found alone Dead in the desert With no way to get back home The people who saw it Were told to go back home Nonone believed them They said it was a weather balloon You and I are different We have seen the proof Maybe tomorrow the World will see the truth It was a day to remember A story to be told How the alien bodies Were found dead in New Mexico You can believe anything you choose only God knows the truth

Reminds me a lot of some of the "off the wall" Brit Rock songs from the 1960's, love that quirkiness...but also the kind of song that makes you think/wonder. Great job on the production, I like the news report you have on there. Excellent song, unique!!

They came they landed it was no weather balloon. It was reported in the Newspapers. And now you sung it. BY the way this is a little different from your usual style. Sort of grateful dead. Great vocal presentation.
