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
This was written back when the U.S sent troops into Granada or Panama I cannot remember which one. But it was around Christmas and I was really feeling empathy for our men (really not far removed from being kids) as they were alone at Christmas. It is very appropriate today due to our huge deployment of troops in the Gulf.
Lyrics
Soldier Alone Written 1/10/1990 By Tony DeLecce Thinking of you feeling alone Wondering when I?ll ever get home I don?t want to be a soldier no more I don?t want to die young I just want to be home for Christmas Ever But instead I?m here a soldier alone My life on the line far from my home never have been so scared and alone I don?t want to be a soldier no more I don?t want to die young I just want to be home for Christmas Ever But instead I?m here a soldier alone Thinking of you feeling alone Wondering when I?ll ever get home

This song starts off like some lost Brian Wilson masterpiece and the the main vocal come in like John Lennon , what a wonderful song , if Brian and John ever wrote a song together this would have been it. The production is outstanding and reminds me of the LA legend Jon Brian with it's slightlly psychedelic tones . The lead guitar solo is heavenly, so many things come together in this collababoration . cheers !
