My tribute to all the great people I have met on SC. I could name names but the challenge is to listen to the song and hear your location. I am saluting you and your creativeness and more importantly your friendship. A One Man Band production.

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.

Story behind the song
I had the idea to go around the world and visit all the countries/states where I have met great people musicially. Hopefully I have not forgotten too many people only so much room in a song. LOL! Another one man band production. Thanks to all.
Lyrics
From Around the World Words/Music Tony DeLecce 9/2006 From around the world And across the Seven Seas We are people sharing our dreams From England to New England From Finland, Iceland and Sweden The sounds of the world Are all around you CHORUS: Why can’t the world Be more like you and me Why cant they hear the melodies Why cant the world Be more like you and me Why can’t we live in harmony 2nd Verse From the California coast To the Carolina Sea We are people sharing our hearts by sharing our art From the New Mexico mountains From Scotland, Canada, and New Orleans The sounds of the world Are all around you CHORUS: Why can’t the world Be more like you and me Why cant they hear the melodies Why cant the world Be more like you and me Why can’t we live in harmony From the heart of Texas West Virginia and PA Our hearts are in the music that we play From around the world and across the Seven Seas The sounds of the world Are all around you CHORUS: The world is getting smaller Each and every day. Let the music take you away Let the Music take you away Fade out) Chords: D Minor on 5th fret, G, em, Am, F, G, C, Am

It's what The Beatles pronounced so very well, positive thoughts, love & peace....and you trace their steps so strongly with your own, in songs like this one......an awesome production, musically & vocally!!!!!!!! More power to you............... Respectfully, Wade

Well done, Tony! Another wonderfully Beatley tune that sounds a lot like John, Paul and George harmonizing. Glad to hear that shout out to the "Carolina sea" where I'm at. Heh heh. :) I just put up the latest version of "Secret Heart" as an example on my site, though I feel it still needs some work. I did some harmonies as a guide for you, some good, some not so good (like the sha la las). If you have some time, sing some harmonies along with the newest version, maybe about 3 of them and email them to wd_wright@yahoo.com. Try to save each one as an mp3 320 bitrate. You could do one as a 3rd or 6th over my vocal, one track as an octave, and maybe one singing the same melody as me if you want. Whatever feels right for you. It would be extremely cool to get that Tony DeLecce McCartney factor in there. ;)
