Working on the video for Route 66
My version of Route 66 is complete and I have begun working on the video elements of this song. Expect to post a completed music video by early July. Thank you Ed and Mike for making this one happen!

Info: Life On Mars
After recently seeing/hearing Mr. Bowie's performance of this song on a
Fashion Rocks Youtube video, I was inspired to attempt a simple, yet,
hopefully, elegant version of the tune. Life On Mars has been described
as Broadway meets Salvador Dali, due to its well stated musical
structure blended with a jumble of lyrical images. This version
features piano by Los Angeles musician Peter Adams. I am mostly
satisfied with the vocal tracks... Upon playback I merely struggle with
the fact that, yes, it's not Bowie singing the song (For those who my
not get it - My use of the word "Merely" is intended as a sarcastic
underplay of how immense Mr. Bowie's talent truly was). Regardless, it
is my homage to the guy who presented me with my first real vocal/music
lesson in life. And, I would add, he was a dear friend, though, I never
personally met him. I dedicate this song to Tracey and Karen for all
those times we called Detroit radio stations requesting Bowie from the
end of street on Barilane Drive.

Also, I have no intention to commercially profit by presenting Mr. Bowie's music in this manner, I simply did it because I thought I would enjoy the process. It was such a splendid delight.
