No One Want's to Fade Away!

This is a song that I've been playing for a few years now and to me it seems to be about the passing of time.

Angelo's Shoes

This is song is loosely about a roommate of mine from my college days. Recently I’ve given it some thought and I think it's about me.
Thomas Palminteri is a singer/songwriter, composer with a subtle and varied gift for lyrics and melody in the tradition of Paul Simon and Randy Newman. He has written both songs that tell a story such as ïSpring Has Goneï and Waiting for the No.12 and composed instrumental music such as ïJourney to the Black Madonnaï the enigmatic Mass in C that defy categorization. In his teenage years he developed a strong appreciation for Rock music beginning with The Beatles and later became enamored with the more eclectic groups of his adolescence such as the Talking Heads and Elvis Costello. Later in college when he decided to study music more formally Tom became deeply affected by Classical and Jazzï particularly J.S. Bach, Mozart, Faure and Debussy.
Band/artist history
At Purchase I started the group Eric's In Oregon in the late 1980ïs as a showcase for me and my friendïs songs. Although I consider them all to be terrific musicians eventually Eric's In Oregon became a ïsometimes a group sometimes a solo actï kind of thing featuring mainly my songs and compositions so as of late I am playing out as simply Tom Palminteri. I am still great friends with the former members of Ericïs In Oregon. Many of there names are listed here. But right now I am currently looking to record and perform as a solo artist, Tom Palminteri. Members of Eric's in Oregon The line up on the recordings 1997-2005: Tom Palminteri- songs, vocals, guitars, piano, harmonica. Scott Kuchler- Guitars, vocals, Folk Harp, Keyboards John Coronna- Drums, Bill Stegemann-Bass, Vocals Also the four tracks recordings on this site feature me on guitar, keyboards and vocals. Michael Doonan plays bass and produced many of the tracks with me. Recent guest have included: Steve Vallone- Accordian, Melodica, Harmonium, ect.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I enjoy performing live is varied venues. Most recently my favorite place to play is The Pisces Cafe in Babylon NY! A great place for live, original music!
Your musical influences
Many of my influences have been listed here. I see my work in the tradition of people like Paul Simon and Elvis Costello (in that I dabble in classical and jazz) although as you can see there are many influences here such as The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, The Who, The Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, R.E.M., U2, Joni Mitchell, Louie Armstrong, John Lennon, Elton John, Gabriel Faure and many others to be sure. I feel music is a great art form. It has the power to touch many lives. I try my best at creating good music and meaningful lyrics.
What equipment do you use?
I've used Tascam 4-tracks, ADat-8-tracks, 16-tracks and live to CD and some others.
Anything else?
I just bought myself a Casio Privia TX-110 with 88-Keys and I've been trying to use it more for my composing.
