50 Years Between 'Em

This is a duet by Jamie Alexis and me. We wrote it together along with the fantastic Lisa Bouchelle . Jamie Alexis and I are just about 50 years apart in age, 21 and 71. It's all about generation overlap, something we feel we need a lot more of.

Dark Night

This is one of the first songs I wrote after getting back into music. It talks about an issue that is a real problem in our culture today.

Broken Country

A couple of years ago I had a series of encounters that lead to the writing of this song. This happened over a period of a few months. I could only think that something is "broken"...this is not how our Country is supposed to be.

06 - Papa Carl - Play the Game

In life, all we can ever really do is get out and play the game. Life is no time to sit on the bench and wait for tomorrow.
My name is "Papa Carl"...and by the name you may be able to tell I'm not a kid. I've been around a bit. I'm fortunate to be able to work with some great musicians who support me in my endeavors. I don't have one band as such but do collaborate with a very special group of people on my music. I'm focusing on music with some kind of message. I really respect the power some singer songwriter people had during the 30's through the 60's. Music can bring about change but maybe more importantly document a time, an era. I think about things in my life, things I see and write about them. Occasionally I'll stray from that pattern and write something about an emotion or a feeling that really got to me. I'm living and loving life right now. So...I write about what I see and feel.
Band/artist history
Over the last ten plus years it's been mostly in the Central NJ to Philly area. Wherever the chance to play a good gig comes about...and I love to hook up with some of my very close musician friends.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I play wherever the opportunity is. I enjoy sitting in with some of my closest friends in music too.
Your musical influences
Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Earle, Kris Kristoferson, Ramblin Jack Elliot, all blues artists, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, the entire ' 60's.
What equipment do you use?
My main instruments right now are a Gibson J 45 Rosewood Custom, a Blueridge slope shoulder rosewood model, and an Alvarez parlor size guitar.
Anything else?
I'm still here. I've had enough stuff happen to make me history that just the fact I can still play makes some people want to listen :-) I've been given the Gift of Life----the Gift of Life is a Gift of Love, what better way is there to express LOVE than with Music? Music is the best therapy on earth !
