The last Badfinger cover I will do. (Promise!) This is another song off of Straight up and I really enjoy it. Unfortunately I had to try and play piano always a laugh.

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.

Lyrics
THE NAME OF THE GAME BADFINGER - FROM THE ALBUM "STRAIGHT UP" VERSE 1 A Bm F#m C#m I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye D A G D I said would you go much faster if you thought that you would die A Bm F#m C#m he said not me sir i could not care, in fact i would not try D A G D protest would not take me far, it's different me not being a star B D A lock my feelings in a jar, until another day VERSE 2 A Bm F#m C#m oh comfort me dear brother won't you tell me what you know D A G D somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go A Bm F#m C#m oh long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show? D A G D and take your babies to your breast, NO we never passed the test B D A and all our sins should be confessed before we carry on CHORUS: E Bm G D A A oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me, you'll follow my shame E Bm G D A Oh don't, confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game VERSE 3 A Bm F#m C#m I got up off my pillow, and I looked up at the sun D A G D I said, you can see quite clearly now, the things that we have done A Bm F#m C#m We burned your sacred willow, and our battles we have won D A G D How did we get so very far? it's different me not being a star B D A lock my feelings in a jar until we go away (REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

Hi there Tony, Real cool sound, most excellent!!!!! I'm not as familiar with this tune of Badfinger, might have been an incident that I had with an 8 Track player in my car...LOL! I think you took this one and made it your own, so I'll probably associate it with you....Mighty fine work, Tony!!!!!!! All the best to ya, dude Wade
