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.

Great job Tony, I too remember the original, which is why I landed on this I guess. You certainly included a wall of sound on here and very well it worked too. And I loved how you squeezed a bit of the Beatles in too!

Yes this one of my all time favorites. Great version. Now to your question , statement, Let me make this clearer about terrorism and politics. First Tony give credit where its due. And thats to this administration (Obama) . You know your weren't born a republican or a democrat. Its funny you got some Jerk down there by the name OF Cantor who says well you know the tornado in Joplin yes lets pay for it but we must take it out of some other account. Man did you know the circus down there is using Elephants to clear the mess, one of the few times you actually see an Elephant (GOP symbol) actually help his fellow man. Heres another thing, did you know that Al qaeda members get better Benefits than most American Workers. (mind you there might not be anything in the retirement kitty for them lOL) Now the republicans the other day bring a motion to raise the debt ceiling. ( I believe they raised the debt ceiling 8 times under Bush) Now the fellow who brought this bill up says I bring this bil

Hey Tony,
Very nicely done. Vocals and harmonies are awesome. Brings me back to my younger years. Really liked how you incorporated The Beatles "Rain" into the song. Enjoyed the listen.

Hi there Tony,
I see you took the Fogelberg route of adding "Rain" by The Beatles at the end.....I always thought that was a nice touch by him. You did a marvelous job on both songs, "Rythm of the Rain" & "Rain"....they blend very well!!!! Mighty fine vocals and very nice instrumental arrangement, my friend.....you sound great!!!!! Great job on this cover in all counts!!!!! I always thought this sounded like a song that Ricky Nelson might cover when he was around, maybe he did in a live show....but I can't find evidence of it. I looked it up on Wikipedia, but only found a small bit of info on it. I always liked both of these songs and thank you for bringing them back in such a nice way to listen to and enjoy!!!!!
Respectfully,
Wade
P.S. Here's the Wiki that I found (link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_of_the_Rain
Supplementary P.S.
Tony, it must be the differences in our soundcards.....I thought the original mix was just grand and the levels were great. It sounds a
A very enjoyable listen, and a fine job on the cover, Tony! :) Wade is right, your talent is never a waste as long as you're using it and sharing it with others. :) Hey, my son likes hearing you play and sing, and I know that counts for something. :) :) :)
