Pop rock with a classic flavor
I made a living playing music all over the US and Canada, for several years. During that time, I had the opportunity to play with The Shirelles, The Coasters, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lou Christie, The Platters, Danny and the Juniors, The 5th Dimension, and Gary US Bonds. While I was on the road, I also had the opportunity to hang out with Joey Molland (Badfinger), Foghat, Reba, Marvin Gaye, Tom T. Hall, Ray Sawyer (Dr. Hook), Three Dog Night, Jan and Dean, Joey Dee, Al Rappa (Bill Haley's Comets) and Rare Earth, along with hundreds of other nice people (and 7 jerks). I just can't remember all their names right now. Everything you hear (all the vocals and instruments) was played by me, and recorded on a beat up Fostex X-15 four track cassette recorder in a small apartment. They came out pretty well, considering what I had to work with. They're Good Housekeeping approved and everything! Everyone who hears them agrees: Way better than a kick in the pants!

Story behind the song
Returning to Michigan, after a tour of Manitoba, I wrote this for Sherry from Winnepeg. She made my stay there memorable.
Lyrics
I don't have a condo down by the lake Or 27 acres of real estate I don't need a car that goes 103 To tell everyone 'bout my upward mobility And I don't have a lawyer in an office uptown For when my legal affairs are on shaky ground You know I'm satisfied with all the things I have But there's one thing I need bad 'Cause I don't have you Everything's in black and white 'Cause I don't have you Night seems dark tonight 'Cause I don't have you I don't have anywhere to go I want you But I don't have you I've heard about the girls down in New Orleans And I've seen 'em sunning on the California beach The women out east look so refined But there's only one that I got on my mind She's looking like the cover of a magazine And comes on like a whisper in a movie scene Eyes that start a fire like you've never seen You got what I need When will I see you again? How much longer do I have to pretend? What's the point of hangin on I turned around and you were gone If you'll come back you'll see it's true A different man if I could just have you
