Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
I've always dug Manhattan but Central Park has always been an oasis for me to hang or jog. This was written for a Muse's Muse "Hookey" Lyric Contest then recorded for a M/M 1+1 contest, then edited and recorded in this 1 + 3 version (gtr, bass, drums, vox).
Lyrics
Take me to Central Park Words & Music © 2013 by Ron Tintner, ASCAP Hey cabbie, give me a ride I’m goin’ crazy, cooped up inside A little space, I’ll feel alright Take me to Central Park Take me to Central… Take me to Central … Take me to Central Park Stroll through gardens, Strawberry Fields Around the reservoir, cool my heels Dig the zoo, lions and seals Down in Central Park (I’ll) take a jog, (just) a couple of miles Watch dogs chase Frisbees for a little while Pretzel and Coke; sit back and smile Take me to Central Park Take me to Central… Take me to Central … Take me to Central Park You prob’ly heard it before, well it’s all that and more Take me to Central Park Hey driver… can’t you speed it up The sooner we’re there, the longer I got Oooh ooh ooh, you know it’s… Been a while; I need a fix Avoid the traffic, get there quick Drop me off on East 96th Take me to Central Park Take me to Central… Take me to Central … Take me to Central Park I’m sure you don’t need directions Take me to Central Park Take me to Central… Take me to Central … Take me to Central Park It’s the middle of Manhattan but outta this world Take me to Central Park
