MUSIC and the SOUL

music of rick calderone, steve parrish, michele statt

hx, i believe, anthony

'hx' and 'i believe' are early raw acoustic versions..you get a perspective of the value of production..but there's something also in exposing the naked weaknesses in the music and the musicians that has a draw...

for the dedicated, wait to hear the last song on this page "Anthony"...we never could pull ourselves to do a polished version of this song, although it is near and dear to our hearts.... 

anthony

it's sad sad sad you're telling me life's not so bad... what's the other rosary for?...i think i need one whiskey more...no no no put your cameras away..this ain't a picture show...think what his family would say..think what a flashbulb portrays...

intensity is misdirected...youth's energy is ineffective, it's not reflective of what you could have been, what you might have been

 it's bad bad bad if you can't if you don't if you won't outlive your dad..say another rosary please..i'm on my hands and knees..why why why would you put us through.?..i'm not coming to..oh anthony dear..couldn't you tell us your fears?

intensity is misdirected...youth's energy is ineffective, it's not reflective of what you could have been, what you might have been..only now you see what you were meant to be...

thoughts

this is a tough one...about a young man's suicide..how do you broach that subject? in a bizarre coincidence, i learned years after the event that one of my relatives was actually on the premises during the tragedy...our thoughts still to the family and friends of Anthony...
