Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by.

Story behind the song
This is from Pauls Chaos and Creation album. This and English tea are two of my favs. Inspired by Charles Dickens character Jenny Wren and to the wren bird a fav of Pauls. This is my D35 and Taylor 814 mixed together left and right two tracks each
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Like so many girls Jenny Wren could sing But a broken heart Took her song away [Verse 2] Like the other girls Jenny Wren took wing She could see the world And its foolish ways [Chorus] How we spend our days Casting love aside Losing sight of life Day by day [Verse 3] She saw poverty Breaking up a home Wounded warriors Took her song away [Duduk Solo] [Verse 4] But the day will come Jenny Wren will sing When this broken world Mends its foolish ways [Chorus] Then we'll spend our days Catching up on life All because of you Jenny Wren You saw who we are Jenny Wren

Nice and easy does it and well done by you ----maybe you forget im A Canadian looking in ---left right is what the army marches to---and thats fine ---its not so divided like that up here--not that we havent tried to copy you guys ---theres always that it just hasnt taken yet..and hopefully never does. Thats a curse man when you got boots on the ground in your cities ....and that yes something needed to be done---but this ?---puts your country at risk ....you got a powder keg ready to go off ...and not just on that issue.

Beautiful song Tony, I never heard this one and I happen to be a Beatles fan forever. Thank you for introducing me to this beauty. I get totally lost these days, my music has died lately, thanks to soundclick.

What a great version of one of Sir Paul's songs. I think, no I KNOW that I like this version better than his. Top shelf in all respects, Tony!

I too have not heard this Mecca track but listening to your cover I can imagine him singing it . You always portray the vibe of the Beatles and Mecca brilliantly. Great guitar too . Top production and you’ve used some nice guitars on this ! Nice one Tony

Tony, you sound amazing.....so much better than Macco. Your vocals are magnificent. Excellent Guitar playing and saxophone. You should be proud of yourself.

I also don't know this Macca song but it sounds superb to me. Excellent performance Tony and the overall sound is outstanding. Nice and clear. P.S there is a pub very near me called the Jenny Wren. Great food there.

Heard it from a friend who Heard it from a friend who Heard it from another you've been covering Macca…never heard this one till now as I was massive Wings fan (still rate Venus & Mars as one of best Lp’s ever) but I didn’t go the distance - this is great Tony! 10/10!

You always manage to come up with Macca songs that I'm unfamiliar with. This one is new to me & it's great that you've covered it, it's quite a gem! Excellent performance - vocals & guitar, and the production is first class (fantastic clarity). I like Paul's concise style of writing whereas I found Dickens to be quite heavy going, lol. Superb cover!
