I Need To Go Someplace Faraway That

I Write A Song To Be Recorded. And To Some Extent To Be Performed, But Definitely More To Be Recorded Than Performed, Because The Recording Will Last Longer Than A Performance.

The First Music I Bought When I Was Nine Or 10 Was Pop Music From The '50s And '60s, Like The Everly Bros., Elvis, Del Shannon, The Flamingos, The Platters, Whatever I Could Get My Hands On. And Then Some Musical Things, Like Camelot, Singing In The Rain And Hair.

Whenever I See Something That Looks Like It Could Be Good - Whether It's On Vinyl, Cd Or Cassette - If It's Not Too Expensive, I'll Take A Chance.

For A Long Time I've Walked Through This World With The Desire, Like In Rear Window, To Look Into Other People's Lives Because I Know That There Is A Way In Which I Am The Same As So Many Of The Strangers That I See.

My Dream Many Years Ago Would've Been To Continue To Write And Record Songs In Record/album Form For Years To Come, But Now Records Aren't What They Were Then - And So It Doesn't Actually Feel Very Good To Make A Record Of Songs.
