Volume 11 - Rockin' the Heroes


On and on I went. Writing song after song. It was amazing really. No writer's block for me. And I wasn't complaining about that. But my wife was. During this period in my life, I was spending hours and hours on my keyboard. It was the latest electronic piano from Yamaha, which could synthesize any instrument, including drum kits.

I had two small children, but that didn't mean I wasn't spending time with them. Everywhere I went I took my little sons with me. But when I was home, it was a good bet I was on that keyboard, playing music and writing new songs. So I wrote the next ten songs and because the last song is called Hero, I thought that Rockin' the Heroes is a good title for my 11thh album. 

I was talking about controversial songs in my last post. You may notice song #1 is called Racist. I don't believe it's controversial, but some people might think it is. What it is, is a parody of how much some people use the race card. I got so tired of hearing about how this person or that person is a racist. It was like if you stubbed your toe, then that meant someone was a racist.

So the parody song Racist was born. And if you don't like it, then YOU are a racist! LOL, just kidding. I don't expect anyone to like any of my songs. I was just making a point.

Anyway, the playlist is as follows:

Racist
It Couldn't Get Worse
The Last Time
I'm So Glad
Diamond Ring
Hittin' the Road
You Told Me
Another Plan
Courage
Hero

And btw, I now have three of my albums on SoundCloud. Starting with this one. If you go to the right margin of this blog, you will see Volumes, 11, 12, and 13 posted, and if you click on any of the images, then you will be directed to SoundCloud where that specific playlist is located. 

And yes, I have the redone Volume 12 on there now, too. Up until yesterday, I had a version on there from two years ago. I had used cassette tape technology about twenty years ago to record it. But now, using digital technology I re-recorded it, so it's a little better now. 

I will post more about Volumes 12 and 13 when I have them on the blog here. But like I was saying, Volumes 11, 12, and 13 are available on SoundCloud right now.
