Very versatile, from sensitive ballads to high energy rockin' that has no equal. Loves his audience, which is why his audience loves him.

At the moment, my band is me. I've founded some awesome bands in the past: Benn Gunn, Eightballs, and Homemade Jam (HMJ). But let's just at this time call it Dynamic Productions, which is me.

Story behind the song

There was a girl named Holly we knew in northern New Jersey, who died in a fire in her home. This song is part true, part fiction, dedicated to Holly.

Lyrics

GOODBYE HOLLY
Words & music by Tom Feher (pka Tom Fair) © 1967, 2007

She came into my life
On the wings of a lavender eagle
When I saw her I said "you're the seagull"
And she said "you're right"
And now she's gone away
Yes I know in my mind I'll remember
All the love and the time I would send her
Till she stole the light.

Holly says to say goodbye to you
She'll remembers how you fell
Before her too
(Holly says to say goodbye - goodbye)
Holly says that I first taught her how to cry
(I first taught her then she said goodbye)
So: Goodbye dear Holly, I'm truly sorry
You know no one could love you more than I

When Holly came around
All the strength of the sea was beside her
And no beauty was ever denied her
For beauty was she
She came upon my eyes
Like the sky in the middle of dawning
And she conquered the night with the morning
That we might all see

Holly says to say goodbye to you
She'll remembers how you fell
Before her too
(Holly says to say goodbye - goodbye)

Holly says that I first taught her how to cry
(I first taught her then she said goodbye)
So: Goodbye dear Holly, I'm truly sorry
You know no one could love you more than Ia026
