Artist picture
Mixtures of folk, rock, blues, country and ethnic themes with layered vocals and harmony. Also Instrumentals, Synthesis, electronic and Psychedellic works.
I specialize in genre blending, and retro rock. I workedwith my son Timothy to develop some new and exciting mixes. Tim accompanied me in :There's Nothing New Under the Sun", Instruments in "Corporate World, and the arrangement and instruments in "The Evil Eye". Timothy is a unique guitarist and pianist. I have been stuck in a work cycle for a couple of years that have not been conducive to developing more material. I have some time off coming up so maybe I will take the opportunity to do so. A sampling of my most recent works of Instrumentals, Vocalizations, and Synthesis is available on my music page. Whatever the heck it is I'm doing right (or wrong) let me know... Life is lonely at the bottom. I am a porch musician. I have never played for income although it would be nice. I play a wide variety of mixtures of folk, rock, blues, and ethnic music. I am not a guitarist who sings, I am a vocalist and songwriter who plays guitar. I've been a singer all my life, for a half century, and played various instruments almost as long. I don't pay much attention to popular music trends, I'm kind of on my own path. Some people like most of it, most people like some of it. It's worth going through my tunes to see what I've got because of the wide variety. Drop me a comment. I use suggestions in new works and sometimes rework my old stuff if I get reasonable feedback. Thanks for stopping by. If no one shows interest there isn't much incentive to keep on posting the new works. Fred

Lyrics
The Evil Eye Fred and Timothy Miller ©2008 1st VERSE I don’t know his name; I didn’t even see him there. I was minding my own business, I didn’t really care. He was walking down the street, staring at the ground, I noticed something strange, when he looked around. He was wearin’ a hood so I could barely see I got a shiver up my spine when he looked at me. CHORUS He gave me the evil eye nothing’s been the same since then The evil eye I don’t wanna do that again (Gave me) The evil eye He looked at me and mumbled something weird His cold cold stare made me tremble with fear 2nd VERSE I’ll never forget the feeling that I had I was scared, and sad, bewildered and mad. I felt my toes go numb and my fingers went dead and I felt the hair raise out of my head My head was poundin’ and all I could see was his evil eye starin’ at me (CHORUS) 3rd VERSE Ever since then my life has been cursed everything I do goes wrong, it couldn’t be worse I haven’t slept well since the day it occurred. He put the whammy on me without saying a word. It’s affected just about everything that I do, now the only kind of music I can play is the blues. I tried every kind of lucky charm that they sell I threw every cent I had in a wishing well I wear a necklace made of garlic but it don’t do no good I’d do anything I could if I knew that it would There’s only one thing I would say to you, Stay away from hooded guys with evil eyes. (CHORUS) END

What we hear see and touch can affect us. This is a great song. Tribal stuff that is mysterious and mystical.

This interesting instrumental intro into the distinctive vocal is what (IMHO) drives this song, and as a thread throughout the song actually kept my attention through the rest of the accompanying devices. The piano interludes were an excellent touch and the backing vocals (Timothy I assume) was a pleasant contrast to the lead vocals. The lyrics were well crafted and wove compellingly with the construct of the music. I can’t imagine suggesting much that could improve this song (except maybe having a brush set on the snare).
