Sirinathsingh (Warehaus Recording Studio, LLC)for his mixing advice on this tune.An Angel In Disguise-Written in 2012. This is a brand new songwhich could almost be seen as a Sail Back part 2 (very similarstyle). Bob Vita suggested the guitar solo in the middle of the songwhich was a Great idea....My Daughters really like this one.Holdin' You-Written in 2012-This is another personal favoritesung by a tremendous local talent by the name of Kari Mackiewicz.A big thanks to Joe Schleis for introducing me to Kari. A big thanks to Kari for a wonderful vocal performance.As Far As I Can See- Written in 2013- A Bluesy type track inspiredby Ray Charles and Eric Clapton. Thanks to Mike Lemon who suggestedturning down the keyboard on this track. I really like the way I sang this....The Golden Ring-Written in 1987 with Fred Pieper. An earlier version of this song sung by Richard"Cookie" Thomas charted on itunes in Denmarkin 2010 peaking out at number 56 on the Blues Chart.I always struggled singing this song myselfuntil I sang it in a Mark Knopfler type style. I'm happy with the results. Sadly, my friend Fred Pieper, passed away in 2002. He was a great singer/songwriter and friendwho is sorely missed.The Golden Ring Chorus:The reason for living is in the givingThe reason for loving is the reason for living......The Only Reason-Written in 2012-This title track isspecial to me because I think I'm trying to expressthe struggles that we all face in life and the sacrifices that we make for each other.The Wind And Sand- Written in 2013-This is a simple acoustic folk like balladthat was inspired by Donovan's"Catch The Wind". I really like the simplearrangement (acoustic guitar and voice). Many people felt that this track should be released as is with all the bumps and bruises a demo usually has.....After listening back, I realized that the message is something nice that I thinkwas intended for my children and grandchildren.The Wind and Sand Chorus:Hold on to your dreamsOr place them in my hand.I'll help you along the way.Through the wind, across the sand.Through the wind, across the sand.If You Go-Written in 2013. This is a new upbeattune reminiscent of something from the 60s.While My Guitar Gently Weeps-Written by George Harrison.I thought I'd include this Beatle cover as a tribute to GeorgeHarrison who would've turned 70 this year. George was a tremendoustalent who inspired many songwriters and guitarists. Michael Radiceplayed the drums on this track and Bob Vita played bass...When Your Heart is Torn-Written in 2013.
