I am here for Friends

About Me

Nice guy, and I don't believe we finish last!



Grand-Pop with Li'l Davey Pat Benatar Angela (RT) with her cheerleading friends!!!!

My Interests

Sailing, Golf, fixing up my old home, LISTENING TO MUSIC.....My primary reason for this page, as you can see.I love the line in this song..."Feel the clinging in the air - of a thousand souls with empty stares - clear the whispers in your head - live your life with no regrets - surrender" - BP-2003

..

I'd like to meet:

Other good people......from all over

The neighborhood kids call my car "The Bread Box"!
Minnie-My 20 year old girlfriend who passed away 02/25/2007.
This shot is about 3 hours into a 5 1/2 hour marathon Risk game. Take note of the "Blue Smurf" Armies....Yes, of course, I WON! The Black Clould and Green Puke are no match for Papa Smurf!
I had to say goodbye to Riley 3 days after Minnie.....It was a rough week.......He was really a good boy....I didn't last 3 days without a kitty in my home.... Meet "Brigittey Kitty"....She is a real vocal sweetheart...appropriately named after another vocal sweetheart I know! Ha Ha HaIn Memory of Ron Henning who past away suddenly December 15th 2006...Ron had quite the "funky bass" goin' on.....He was a good guy, and he will be missed...Yes, the quality of this video sucks...mainly because Ron's bass blew it apart! A great tribute to him.Demand Brigitte Pace with Eventful! .. ..
Get this video and more at MySpace.com Italian Fest - August 2006 .... Kola Note CD Release Party September 2006.. Live 11/10/2006 at Theatre Plaza - Montreal - Too bad I ran out of memory...Brigitte went nuts at the end! I guess YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!!

Music:

Rock of the 60's, 70's, 80's.....Beatles, Chicago Transit Authority (before they wimped out) YES, Supertramp, Genesis (Peter Gabriel is it), Jefferson Airplane, Heart, Fleetwood Mac.....I'll stop....you get the picture. I really love what used to be called Progressive Rock.....YES is the master of that. Classical, deep instrumentation. I thought it did not exist anymore, until I found Farpoint and Analog Missionary! Check them out....They are here!I've always been a BIG PAT BENATAR fan....Still am. I've seen her 9 years in a row now, and counting. I'll go as long as she keeps touring! Yes, July 31, 2007, once again....and....the opening singer LENNON totally blew me away! Check her out! ME & ANGELA WITH PAT BENATAR 2003 I saw her in 1988, and she's good as ever. GO, her 2003 album, is great! I like the Bangles much more than I used to...Doll Revolution is a GREAT album! I realized that there is a lot more to those girls than Walk Like an Egyptian! All their albums are great! I am into Indie Rock now. I NEVER listen to the radio anymore. MTV? VH-1? Get real....It's all bullshyt. I hope this stymied, closed door, greed driven industry changes someday for the many who play so hard to be loved and appreciated. I wonder when/if the kids today will ever figure out they're getting hosed and ripped off with instant glitter stars who lip sync, and "fix" all their voice tracks. and "actors" who don't even play any instuments. Something about spending mega dollars to see some ego head dance around onstage with a music track playing for them irks me. All packaged by the music business. As soon as they take credit for their success?........GONE!!! I feel the real artists with talent are the ones busting their asses and out there to be heard.....day in day out to all hours of the night. Real character building. When heart, determination, hard work, and gratitude are the motivating forces, great music comes.Enough of the rant....sorry.....I am passionate about my music! ...That brings me to acknowlege some of my very favorites... Gypsy, my Indie craze all started with you...You opened the door....wide open..Thank you!

Check out Mandi Perkins! She is incredible!!!!!!
Trisha O'keefe....Trish, YOU GOT IT!!....always keep your head high...Don't ever let go of the passion you have...It's a gift! You never cease to amaze me with each next song. I am so glad I finally got down to Philly to see you. This website is the best!! : www.cdbaby.com CD Baby has incredible support for all Indies. I can't say enough about them, and the service they provide. I never, ever thought anyone could possibly de-thrown my "PattyB" as my all time favorite singer.......but....it has happened......BRIGITTE PACE!!!!! She is AMAZING!! Beautiful, strong voice, and she writes ALL her material (Really good songs). Her life partner, Albe plays excellent guitar! He is a master in the studio. I have not heard such elaborate tracks since Pink Floyd! Having the pleasure to see them perform 6 times in Montreal, and meet them, I can truly say they are terrific people with big hearts. I will never look at a slice of pizza or a cup of regular coffee the same way (inside joke).......Thanks Brigitte! :) Check out: www.brigittepace.com - You can get her CD (Tempestuous Thing Called Life) at www.cdbaby.com as well. She has just released her latest last September...I DEFIED (her 4th)....It is a FANTASTIC album!! Check out her myspace page for some GREAT songs from it, Her CD release party at the Kola Note in Montreal was such a fantastic show! The energy level was through the roof in that place. I think this girl's time has come......long over due, but none the less, she's here! As I stated, Brigitte Pace now has 4 albums...Weird Voices, Anxiety In Progress, Tempestuous Thing Called Life, and I Defied. Weird Voices, Brigitte's 1st CD from 1997.....It's not easy to find, but...Try TO GET IT!!!!!!!!!! GREAT SHOW AT LeSWIMMING!!!!! I LOVE MONTREAL!!!

Hey girls! That bus BETTER be comming Northeast someday! Nat?????I have had the pleasure of meeting TORI SPARKS at a couple small shows with her guitarist Aaron, who put on quite the show by the "Dino Dumpster" in the back parking lot! (Do you know about that one Tori??)Tori hits the road hard...I am VERY grateful that she has made it to my neck of the woods! Great to see her again July 2007! With her new CD out, which is wonderful!LAURA CHEADLE was SO much fun at the little coffee shop in philly. I couldn't stay for her whole set, which was a damn shame because the word is that I missed a good one! I'll be back! She's such a funny, funky girl! Falling In is a great CD!!!!
Looking at my friend list, you might notice I am just a little partial to the lady rockers. It's not always been this way, but it does go back pretty far....Marlynn McCoo of The 5Th dimension, Karen Carpenter, Joni Mitchell, Carol King...for some reason the ladies just seem to "get it" more today.....more heart in the songs, I guess. That's just me.LATE EDITIONS: JOHANNA STAHLEY! .. Johanna Stahley Syracuse, New York, USA Demand it! Demand this in another city! powered by eventful Thanks to MySpace..I LOVE THIS GIRL!!! Her songs are so upbeat and full of energy. CINDY ALEXANDER!!!! She blows me away! Go to CD Baby...yeah, try to pick out 1 of the 3 CD's she has out....I couldn't! All 3 are fantastic!
