Straight ahead rock and blues from a 70's perspective.
I am jamming with some guys right now, we're looking at putting together a classic rock & blues band. I am using my Roland guitar synth for organ, horns & horn sections so we're working up some classic blues/R&B sounds. I met a drummer, Cliff Lippert, who has been a full time pro for years, at one point drumming for Gregg Allman. He was in an accident and ended up back in new York State. We played and everything clicked. I brought my friend Randy Miles ans we all went to Dave Berg's place and started jamming in his basement. Dave plays bass. So far it's been...just UNbelievable!! I am having a great time! We all are!

Story behind the song
This is a parody I came up with when, as an employee of Adelphia communications at the corporate headquarters in Coudersport, PA, I was sitting in the break room watching John Rigas wearing chrome bracelets and doing the perp walk on CNN. I was later laid off in the reorganization resulting from the Rigas family's looting the company of billions of dollars... Hell, I'd have been happy to steal just a million...hmmm...sounds like an idea for another song...
Lyrics
John Rigas got arrested and went to jail Poor ol' Doris had to throw his bail Tim and Mike weren't far behind Where they gonna steal the money to pay the fine? Good God! It's wire fraud! Everybody in the Rigas clan Wishes they'd gone on the lam! James Brown was a vice president Now he's givin' states' evidence Mike Mulcahey was arrested too Hey now what are they gonna do? It looks, like they cooked the books Stole every dollar they could get You can bet it ain't over yet! Federal indictment runs seventy pages They could all be in jail for ages And then there's charges by the SEC I'm sure as hell glad that it ain't me! My God! It's mail fraud! Ninety-nine years in the slam For their greedy self-dealing scam! (spoken) Yeah, c'mon now, everybody, let's do the jailhouse rock. Let's really get it on here! Attaway! Hey look at John go. And Doris, Yeah, they're doin the jailhouse rock! We're havin' a good time here! But, uh, this is a family affair. Hey, Mike, Tim, hey, c'mon down guys, let's do the jailhouse rock! Yeah...uh...sure...you can bring your cellmates...well...they're ugly...but they're affectionate! They didn't want porn on Adelphia cable Took it off the channels when they were able What came next was a whole lot bolder 'Cause they screwed each and every stockholder! Cleaned 'em out, that's what it's about Screwed everyone that bought Adelphia stock And now their dancin'to the Jailhouse rock Dancin'to the Jailhouse rock Dancin'to the Jailhouse rock Dancin'to the Jailhouse rock
