OK, D, I posted the correct version of āIām Waiting for the Program to Installā and I did some vocals this afternoon for a faux 60s protest song that will now be known as āWe Could Really Use a Man Like Herbert Marcuse Again.ā Do listen. I am to amuse.

Man, Tom, you are like an indie-rock hit making machine. Two more winners. History was never my strong subject, so I may have to look a little further into Mr Marcuase to see what that songās all about.
I like the whistling part.
I think the only part you forgot in āIām Waiting for the Program to Installā was a couple of reboots, one ambigous error message, and perhaps a blue screen between you and movie-stardom 
Agreedā¦ I had to Wiki Herbert Marcuse Iām embarassed to admitā¦
Tom Spademan - renaissance man who woulda been rich if only heād been born twenty years earlier! You know what they sayā¦ Timing is EVERYTHING!
D
Hmmā¦never heard of Marcuseā¦One Dimensional Man was sort of childrenās lit for meā¦still a good if flawed readā¦not that kind of optimism about humanityās future anymoreā¦at least you get the reference to āThose Were the Daysā from All in the Family?
HotDog, I think the video will have to include all that stuff.

Well I did do a LOT of reading as a young āun but mostly sci-fi and tech stuff. I grew up in a full-time electronics repair business and a part-time farming business. (Well, the farming wasnāt really a business per seāā¦ unless you call EATING a business!)
Wouldnāt trade it for nothinā though. Funny how people in different regions and socio-economic strata are exposed to different information during their younger, formative years.Music is universal thoughā¦ a good tune is always a good tune! Keep rockinā Tom.

Tom, I just checked them all. Lots of good songwriting going on here, IMO. Being a noisy SOB I especially took a liking to Iāll Go Anywhere
BUT - how can a Beatles freak like yourself publicly admit that you prefer your songs without bridges? Huh?
Iām a sucker for good bridges, partially because I find them DANG hard to write, but thatās just me 
I wonāt comment on the sound as you say you see these recordings as sketches to be played by a real band someday, but there are some cool guitars in there
Whoās the scallywag who said I was a Beatles freak!
Nah, Iām just in an anti-bridge phase. Iāll come out of it.
Hey, D., I think I would have liked growing up in an electronics business. That would have been very cool. And I bet weāve read a lot of the same fiction. Lots of sf.
TomS:
I listened to āFar beyondā this morning, great singing!and very cool sound. Got to leave for work now, Iāll be back to listen to more.
Obie
Hey Tom,
I didnāt realize that you had some many songs finished & publiched. Iām going to check them out as time allows, but I loved āIām waitingā¦ā!
Soul toker, I have hundreds and hundreds. Writing songs isnāt hard. Writing good ones, unfortunately, is.
Ya want I should send you a CD or 2?
Sure - please send me a CD. I sent you one of mine, so weāll be even
