The Saddest Man in Europe The Saddest Man in Europe
This song is about George Grosz, a member of the Dadaist group of artists in berlin in the 1920's. His drawings were biting critiques of the rise of Nazism. His nickname was the 'saddest man in europe', a term used by his fellow artists.
This album is my first solo effort. I wrote all the songs, words and music and performed them all with a drummer and a couple of other musicians. I play a lot of the instruments on the album.
Its an eclectic mix of songs with various moods. I have shown my poetic side with most of the songs, as I consider myself a wordsmith.
Since releasing this debut CD I have formed a band which is much harder edged. I will let you hear more of that project when i have some tracks to release.Have you performed in front of an audience?I do play live. some of the songs on the album I have performed as a solo artist in some venues in NYC. I like to perform, I love the buzz. I will be performing much more in the near future with my band.
