I am a singer-songwriter from Bulgaria - East Europe. Play guitar and sing since 1976. Make my own songs and do much covers. I play alone with my acoustic guita
I play guitar since 1976. I never was a profesional musician, don't know allmost nothing about notes (don't read it) and thus - I don't use it. I made my first song in 1978 based on the lyrics of Stanislav Gradev. Since 1998 I started to make my own songs - words & music. I sing in different languages - bulgarian, english, russian, french, italian, romanian, turkish.

Lyrics
The Ballad of Tommie Lee Late at night on a two lane road out of nowheresville The headlights cuttin' the dark like a knife as we topped the hill There in the dirt with a hole in his shirt lay our best friend Bill Slammin' the brakes made the tires scream and we saw him run A shadowy man runnin' fast over land escapin' what he'd done Tommie Lee reached under the seat and wrapped his hand around a gun Blood on his shirt and that look on his face.....t'was a fatal attack Breathing his last he said "tell her I love her" and his eyes rolled back Tommie's eyes got as dark as the sky and vanished into the black Out in the dark there were boots runnin' rocks and muffled shouts Deep dark boomin' and flashes of light as the shots rang out Again and again and when the silence crept in it didn't leave no doubt Stumblin' out on the edge of the road in the glare of the lights Tumblin' into the driver's seat and he wound it up tight Smokin' the tires with the headers on fire Tommie vanished into the night Break of dawn on a two lane road through the desert sand "That '37 Chevy was a burned out hulk" said the police man It's a mystery to me you know we never did see Tommie Lee again Yeah a mystery to me, we never did see Tommie Lee again Bye bye, bye bye Bye bye, bye bye copyright 2005 MBBowen
