Thanks Tony! give it a listen: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11468362 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:20:40 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=101605 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=95915 gabe stenziano (gabe) Tony Delecce suggested a revised intro to 'fly away' and i think he's right on the money. cut out the bass and drums and i think it worked great.

Sun, 08 May 2011 22:10:28 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=90053 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=89640 gabe stenziano (gabe) my son dan first recorded the main acoustic track. i added the melody, lyric, and vocal. this was almost a year ago. we just got around to finishing it up. dan put on the strings, lead acoustic, and piano. i added harmony on one line. Sun, 01 May 2011 01:23:36 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=89640 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=88457 gabe stenziano (gabe) its always a pleasure and a privilige to work with my old friend, pinedog. he created the instrumental that started this song going, a piece that lent itself so well to melody and lyric. he's easy going, open minded, and creative. thanks my friend. Sun, 10 Apr 2011 22:38:12 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=88457 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=87901 gabe stenziano (gabe) This is a cover of one of my favorite musicians, my very talented son, Dan. He wrote the words and music and also does some nice acoustic guitar tracks. He also played piano on the ending. I added bass and sang (i think he sings it better than i do, but hey, this is my page). Ah, to be seventeen and in love! Fri, 01 Apr 2011 07:16:58 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=87901 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=87511 gabe stenziano (gabe) This is a remake of the song i did recently with Mike Bennett and Michael Duran. Mike provided the great backer. i added the melody, lyric, vocal, and acoustic. My talented son, Dan, plays the alto sax solo. Sat, 26 Mar 2011 09:00:12 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=87511 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=86139 gabe stenziano (gabe) My very talented son, Dan, has been accepted into the Eastman School of Music. Not to brag or anything, but Eastman is ranked as the number one music school in the nation. He will start in September and will be studying classical saxophone. this is something he has wanted for years and it's great to see his dream come true. go Dan!

We have attempted to depict the scene where Govinda, Siddhartha's childhood friend, finds him when they are old men. after a lifetime of fruitless struggling,Govinda looks into Siddhartha's eyes and realizes his friend has reached enlightenment. He begs Siddhartha to help him over the edge, to take the final step.

We've partnered to do this trilogy of songs based on the novel Siddhartha. Michael is responsible for creating and performing all of the music. i've added melody, lyric, and vocal. don't ask me how he gets all these unique sounds. the song, 'Faces of the River' is the first part of the series. hope you like it and , as always, thanks for listening. .

Mike Bennett sent me a backer with piano, bass and drums. i added a melody with lyrics and sang the parts. Mike then added some guitar fills. Michael Duran finished up the job with a solo and the mix. thank you, gentlemen for the opportunity. gabe Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:01:43 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=84888 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=gabe+stenziano&content=myBlogs&id=84471 gabe stenziano (gabe) Two songs for the price of one! The sixties changed my life in every conceivable way. Period. The intentional plagiarism of the first line is intended as a tribute to George Harrison, a key figure for me from that era. The sound clips of the sixties that separate the songs were provided by my good friend Charlie Boyd. It's five and half minutes long so if you listen through, I thank you kindly.

Thanks Mike!

A few are lucky enough to have that special person who rides it out with them no matter how ugly it gets. It never fails to both break my heart and inspire me to see such pure courage and faithfulness. this song was inspired by and written for those remarkable people.
