When I was 22 a young lawyer took one of my songs and put it on the ‘B' side of his recording of Ave Maria. He invited me to watch the recording session at Criteria in Miami, Florida. Since that moment all I have ever wanted was to have my music recorded by professional musicians and sung by established artists. This truly is a monumental task as I do not perform live so I have recorded my own material as a means to get exposure and as a way for artists to be able to judge the “cover” worth of my songs. I am looking for a publishing deal. Contact Info: Jim Blachura C/O Stablesongs Phone: 336 995 0813 E Mail: saintlymanmusic@yahoo.com Saintly Man Music /ASCAP

Lyrics
‘Tis of Thee / Blachura The first time you realized freedom didn’t ring anymore You were sittin’ all hunched over watchin’ TV in a corner on the floor Now you seek freedom in another way because of thee you cannot sing Of amber waves of grain or the majesty the purple mountains bring ‘Tis of thee the history books have lied ‘Tis of thee the less fortunate have cried ‘Tis of thee the innocent were tried ‘Tis of thee our fathers died and along with them Their dreams by their side Long ago the American dream let freedom ring from every mountainside God’s grace was shed along with the blood of the natives who roamed the countryside From sea to shining sea we saw all our hopes coming true Then we crowned our good without brotherhood and good intentions, too It’s so easy to sell the idea of liberty To the tired and poor who have nothing but still long to be free Now when freedom rings it sounds so hollow Makes you wonder why the deaf would follow The self-proclaimed visionaries they elect The very ones that steal their self respect ‘Tis of thee I sing
