After hundreds of gigs with a band named « SHAKY BEAT » in the nineties, the elephant decided to play alone on stag...

Tom Reisner

I am grateful to have had some of my songs professionally recorded by some of Nashville's finest musicians.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE is a poignant and beautiful song inspired by my son, Justin, who has autism.  Some of the finest studio musicians in Nashville donated their talents to record the song with the hope that it might help to raise awareness of the growing autism epidemic, and perhaps someday be used in conjunction with autism awareness campaigns and fundraisers.

Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root

WHERE SAVAGES ROAM
I'm threatened by the safety net
and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world
I tremble when the earth is calm 
and sleep under the rubble
like a frightened feral animal
Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam
Where the savages roam
Aah, aah, aah ... 
The harshest winter yet
All the horses have run crazy
God has killed the internet
The final course...
