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
A standard Blues progression. Just like a zillion other songs. Came up with the main melody and the Why do you Lie and had no words in between and then I got thinking about Mary Lou as I was hearing rockabilly/Jerry Lee Lewis in my head and of course never far from my music memory is Sir Paul and I was thinking of Get out of My way so there it was Adios Mary Lou even though I never say those words in the song. But she does get the boot in the end.
Lyrics
ADIOS MARY LOU Words and Music Tony DeLecce 5/2007 Going downtown on a Saturday Night Looking for some trouble, I was looking for a fight One look from her and she really changed my mind Hello how are you She said my name is Mary Lou and I’ve been looking for someone just like you. Well it’s alright if we sit for awhile But I cant stay she said with a smile That doesn’t mean theres somewhere else I’d Rather be Bridge Girl, Why do you lie to me Girl, why do you lie to me. Don’t know where I’m going and I don’t know what to do But I know what I want and what I want is Mary Lou and no other girl in this world will ever do. Hello how are you She said I’m not Mary Lou But Ive been looking for someone just like you Well its alright if we talk for awhile Cause Ive got all night she said with a smile And there’s no other place in this world I’d rather be Girl Please don’t you lie to me Girl Please don’t you lie to me Middle Lead. Leaving this town at first mornings light I’m Looking for some loving, looking for a life And I’d like to start all over girl with you Hello How are you Im so damn glad your not Mary Lou Cause Ive been looking for someone just like you Well its alright if we drive for awhile We’ve got our whole life she said with a smile And I want to spend every moment I can with you Girl please don’t you lie to me Girl Please don’t you lie to me

Jeff Lynne meets Paul Mac while meeting Ricky Nelson (the kids wouldn't know Nelson, they'd think Martin...then again, they'd probably not even know Martin or Lynne, let alone Jerry Lee) Ahhhh, the joys of getting old, great reminiscing, dig this track Tony - it's ELO vibe is brilliant!! vocals great, production very cool!

Very beautiful vocals and your music is so awesome. With your great vocals, you do not need a hammer and nails to prove a point.

This is quite excellent. Good you can take time to come up with gems like this. Right out of the 60's just like them big fin tail cars. Excellent

A new vintage rockin' classic, a throwback to those carefree days of youth, dynamite solo work, really memorable, this would have been a hit!

Very nicely done. Takes me back to the late 50s and early 60s. Got quite a rhythm going and cool vocals and harmonies. Dig that piano and guitar work. This is another one of them 5 star productions that really sticks in the mind and keeps on playing there. I really like this recording alot.
