"Weirdo" The Madmen-Live on Sunset Strip 4/28/82Found this from 4/28/82 recorded live at the Monte Carlo room. It was my last gig with the Madmen before I headed back to NJ. Since then, Eddie, our guitarist has passed away; wish I knew what happened to the rest of the guys.

"Time" (featuring Kelly Costigan)
"Time" (featuring Kelly Costigan)Kelly Costigan, Lynne's daughter, is featured on this track as a precocious Madonna-like 12 year-old. I think this song is very catchy and Kelly does a great job.

Insatiable Desire - Individual Shadows
Insatiable Desire - Individual ShadowsWritten in 1993 and recorded at John Bailey's studio, this rocker features great guitar work by Larry Crisner and a three guitar solo battle at the end. Most of all, it's a catchy rock song written by Rob Traegler and Jay Lippincott.

Central Park
Central ParkThis song was written circa 1995 and was performed live at my graduation (from Trenton State) party at the Hibernians. Jay and I recently re-recorded it, me playing all the instruments while he supplied the drum track from Florida. Scott Chrisner, Larry Crisner, Jim Mangione, Jay Lippincott and I all brought this song to life. I like it.

'The Englishman And The Barrister' Title Cut
'The Englishman And The Barrister' Title CutLyrics: The Englishman and the Barrister The Englishman is a barrister Who hasn't got time to play Another Christmas morning and daddy's going away. Nigel slid down the banister And he hurt himself today, Gone away, Another day, Paper's late, It's how he relates... Daddy wants to be a magistrate, But I don't know what that is, Try to visit him in his chambers, But the bird won't let me in, Mommies always getting sauced, So she's of no use to him, Where am I? Again must I cry? Is this goodbye? Solo When the Lords passed the bill, Mummy turned to the pills, Daddy's new job is in the Parliament, But I don't know where that is. They tell me I'll see next fortnight, My life has just become a quiz, Gone away, Where am I? Is this Goodbye?.........

Sittin' Here By Myself (feat. Ernie White)
Sittin' Here By Myself (feat. Ernie White)Recorded this song a few years back at Ernie White's studio. Ernie was kind enough to play an awesome acoustic guitar solo at the end of the song that just completes it for me. It also features my best bandmate, Jay Lippincott, on drums. Without sounding pretentious, I still think this has hit song potential. Enjoy.
