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
Was a midnight madness shopping event at a local store in 2006 and I just started thinking about the madness of the moonlight and came up with this spooky tale of a devil dancing in the moonlight...
Lyrics
Madness of the Moonlight By Tony DeLecce They say it only happens at night when the city is filled with desire The calmness of the daylight and the stillness of the night Is replaced by a devil dancing in the moonlight Singing a song called the Madness of the Moonlight I dont know where he came from but he only comes out at night Replacing an angel playing in the sunlight He can only be seen in the Madness of the Moonlight He can only be free when the city is filled with desire Now that you know what happens at night When the city is filled with desire Beware of the darkness when the stillness of the night Is replaced by a Devil Dancing in the Moonlight REPEAT 1st Verse

Ooh, nice spooky jazz and a nice departure of style for you. I like the way you sample other genres of music. Love the edgy Halloween feel of the bass riff. Great atmosphere.
