Tracks

Love Isn’t the Answer – Closest thing to a techno/disco beat. Just Fun
Joanna – Kinda Santana meets calypso. Great guitar work by Marty Mayer.
Blame Me – The ultimate divorce song. The beginning spoken word based on a phone message from my very pissed off first wife.
Oblivion – A rocker in 6/8 time.
Little Egypt – One of many songs of the same title. The Belly Dancer at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. The enthusiasm of innocence.
Flagpole – Another rocker and an FU to an old friend.
Graduation Day – Another reflection of the changes… my graduation into another life. Brilliant guitar by Marty Mayer (Cal- City’s Finest).
The Ballad of Danny T – A naive romantic vision of a homeless person in the old Chicago Skid Row.
1. DEJAME QUEDARME/ Let Me Stay – English and Spanish versions of the same song.
1. Dios Bendiga Las Chicas/ God Bless the Ladies – English and Spanish versions of the same song.
CALLS – My attempt at juvenile Sophomoric humor.
Callyda – My symphonic instrumental. I am proud of this one. All instruments from a Korg 01W. The brass voices are the best and a very sensitive realistic vibrato. Brilliant engineering. Thanks Rae.

To support the album, in June Neal plans to start playing his music with members of his band McLuhan. He is also working with Ellis Clark recording some new songs and hopes to release a new album next year.
