In Your Mind...for Ralph

  In your mind you were a legend... In your mind you were the king In your life you were reflecting the world around you as you saw it And you never understood why they didn't see it as you did In your mind there was a kingdom that you ruled by your own word In your life you lived as you wished that others would live Please understand, my friend that I know what you tried to give

Crack, toilet paper, or a lottery ticket?

  I just returned from the corner store. I am befuddled and dumbfounded. The woman in front of me spent 25.00 on lottery tickets. I told her that if she has nothing better to do with her 25.00, that I could put it to good use. She turned to me, her face beaming and said, "I spent six dollars yesterday and won two dollars, so I didn't lose!" What kind of mush do these people have for brains? They get their welfare checks or work for minimum wage, and then blow it on lottery tickets. I knew a woman in New York who became homeless because of her addiction to lottery tickets. It was pitiful. I remember seeing her on the corner of Bleecker and Thompson  begging for spare change. As soon as she had enough, she would run across the street to the pharmacy and buy a lottery ticket. I will never understand this addiction.

  What if certain somebodies had listened when they were told: Bands with guitars and drums are on the way out You can't have a string quartet or a sitar in a pop song You can't put a symphony orchestra tuning up in the middle of a song You can't release a double album with a plain white cover You can't record a song that's longer than 2 1/2 minutes You can't sing a song expressing sympathy for the devil You can't have two drummers in a band There is no such thing as a rock opera So please don't tell me that I can't have a harpsichord on my recording!

How Long Does Forever Last?

When you say forever, I have to ask, How long does forever…does forever last? How long does forever last for you? How many years will I cry these tears 'til forever lets me be with you? You say love is forever, all this time has passed How long does forever… does your forever last? How long does forever last for you? In how many lifetimes must I die 'til forever lets me be with you? How long ... Please tell me how long When you say forever…What does it mean to you? ...

We are going to make a great record! I hope that I have sent you enough material to help you to prepare for Wednesday's session ie lyric/chord sheets, sound files. I can be reached at 646-904-3492 24/7 if you have any questions regarding the song.  The studio is booked for 2:00-6:00 pm. We are devoting the first hour to Mick’s drum tracks. In the meantime, we can go over vocal parts in another room. I'll have lyric sheets printed for you.  9 Lives Studios does not have a big sign or bright lights and can be a bit tricky to find.. Nicola, the studio’s owner will have to coordinate the parking and we certainly don’t want to waste precious recording tim...
