Strength through love in a turbulent world. Some pretty melodies, instrumentation and lead guitars.
Fulfillment Fulfillment
Upbeat piano and synth guitar jazz-rock tune regarding life's best approach.
Bright Blue Skies Bright Blue Skies
Young summer love, the beach, and sweet sounding dual lead guitars. A feel good tune to harken back to the days of youth, and for a moment, forget about the ills of the world.
Born to Be Shunned Born to Be Shunned
Tribute to both Bruce Springsteen and Mr. Rogers, while performing in a hostile, seedy bar.
Musical Roots Discussion Musical Roots Discussion
Inane discussion introducing the Schizoid Visionaries.

Branded (The Last Draft) Branded (The Last Draft)
Compelling country-rock ballad inspired by a disillusioned Vietnam vet suffering from PTSD in the late 70's. He was selected in the last draft to see combat. Features a nice dual Strat lead guitar riff and vocals.
Oh, John Paul Oh, John Paul
A dark hymn written and performed a few weeks before the controversial 1978 death of Catholic Pontiff John Paul I, inspired by a "voice" driven premonition. Full song story below.
I Remember I Remember
Majestic rock-symphonica rendering of the early days with my wife.
Romance Heartthrob Dance Romance Heartthrob Dance
An upbeat R&B shuffle satirizing human sexual foibles, whereby our tragically comic species is ironically driven by our risk-prone sexuality, in order to ensure our continued existence. A much darker song could be also written, but for now...
Come the Future Come the Future
Hard rock chorus and break, with melodic verses featuring some animated synth/piano, with lyrics posing questions regarding the challenges facing mankind.
Lovelorn Lane Lovelorn Lane
The intro depicts an eerie little lane which then blossoms into bittersweet melodies, lyrics and arrangements on this touching ballad.
When Every Day is Monday When Every Day is Monday
One of my favourite arrangements with a synth guitar sax/horn hook, some hot guitar and an alternative blues progression, portraying a pressure-cooker office environment.
Venice By Moonlight Venice By Moonlight
Slow, pretty, mostly instrumental tune featuring the accordion, for the romantic city to where I can trace my pre-WWI ancestors 4 generations ago. Never did get a moonlight picture of it.
Monte Cristo Monte Cristo
Stirring symphonic rock instrumental featuring some sweetly layered strat leads, horn swells and timpanis etc. depicting Dumas' wrongfully imprisoned Count.
