I was born into this world, where music tries to prevail over our hatred, prejudice, and countless defects of character toward one another. Music also tries to soothe our own personal defects of character, well within our own starving spiritual souls. The majority of music can be our very own great Teacher in the air, being an invisible and invincible force that plays to teach us about love, sadness, laughter, peace toward our fellow man/woman, and much about life itself. Rock and roll embraced me at an early age; it taught me how to become a striving musician. Then it taught me how to develop a never-ending passion for music. I haven't been "normal" since! I've come to understand how music can make one crazy; crazy that I have countless original compositions in my head, which need to be released to the world so that when my time on this confused Earth is up, I can rest in peace! Try to put yourself in my shoes. Nevermind, sometimes it's so hard to explain that you have this "life-threatening" matter that needs to be heard out; to be taken into consideration and understood. Nobody seems to care, much less even give you the time of day! You've been entered into their short-term memory banks and there you will remain. Some people have asked, "Why the mask?" Please don't ask. It's not a very pretty story. Let's just say that Fate and Time dealt me the wrong cards, and I have nothing better to do than live with "a dead man's hand". Every day is Halloween for me! It's kind of frightening what my life has endured, but realistically true. Enough about my agitated life; listen to my new CD "The Party Accident". These original compositions have been compiled for you to listen and enjoy. With much appreciated help from www.cdbaby.com, you can sample, listen and enjoy some of the songs contained in,"THE PARTY ACCIDENT !!!", then hopefully decide to purchase it at the reasonable price that cdbaby and I have decided upon! I really don't care about the fame and glory that comes with super stardom, but somewhere along that "fast lane", I hope to at least get $$$! The Phantom of Rock is currently seeking a Rock & Roll manager, a recording contract, and last but importantly not least, YOU- my Rock & Roll family! PEACE, Robert E. Sturgill, (The Phantom of Rock)
