beatle influenced pop dan fogelberg tribute tony delecce
Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by. Other SoundClick Artists I recommend: Click on their links to hear some great music! Jim DeLecce my very talented brother Great Musician and great help to me in too many ways to count.

Story behind the song
Clicker Club Challenge
Lyrics
He walked into the room with that look in his eyes I knew in a minute there was something on his mind He asked me a question about a friend from school He said I'm only trying to find out the truth I didn't know what he wanted from me He was trying hard to be discreet But.. I could tell that he was a private eye He left his card with a message for me to give him a call if I remember anything I smiled and said that your wasting your time ive got amnesia from drinking all the time I didn't know what he wanted from me I could tell that my friend was in need And I wont give him up to a private eye BRIDGE I've been there and done that before and I wont walk back through that door anymore MIDDLE LEAD I don't know what they want him for I wont talk until I am sure I called his cell and I called his phone His wife said that she doesn't know Chorus I didn't know what he wanted from me I could tell that my friend was in need And I wont give him up to a private eye You might think Im acting strange whats the harm in providing a name You never know whos waiting in line You better find out who's a private Eye Chorus I didn't know what he wanted from me I could tell that my friend was in need And I wont give him up to a private eye Hes a private Eye, He's a private Eye He's a private eye

I like the natural talent you seem to have for a great melody, something that always sounds easy when someone else does it. Nicely structured song with a story lyric that grabs the listeners attention and holds it, and a shoe-in for the CC topic.

You're going to have to do a follow-up to this song Tony...I'm just dying to know what's going on and what that Private eye was doing snooping around! Great mystery story line, my curiosity's through the roof! Excellent performance, reminds me a lot of Wings.

Great classic rock vibe going on - especially liked the harmonized vocals - cool private eye flick ;)
Dig that vibe and feel! A great tune about friendship with a verse progression that just screams 'mystery.' Brilliant song and performances, Tony!

Great song with a brilliant 60s vibe. I think the song Al was reaching for was probably Roy O's Pretty Woman - the harmonies here are fantastic and remind me of the great man. Really good.

The vocals and harmonies sound great and the chorus rings a bell but I can't put my finger on it. Cool and intriguing!

Great ballad about shifty characters and hired snoops, tight vocal harmonies and jangly guitars give this a cool 'Band on the Run' quality. nice work Tony, sorry we missed it on the player today due to a glitch :-P
