Tom Downs Music & Lyrics now available online

I have a friend in Brandon, FL who works on elevators. Not the job where you dress like an organ grinder's monkey and push the floor button, but the job where you go way up on the outside of a building being built and troubleshoot and/or repair the construction elevators. At least that's the way I understand it. Anyway, he's become very rich and good looking from this vocation.

But that's not why we're here. Tom writes and performs some right decent songs. While mostly possessed by, as he puts it, "a pop sensibility", he also goes lounge singer, country, blues and who knows what else. If he weren't so long in the tooth he'd be a by-god-prodigy.

Tom writes, sings, sings backup, plays, mixes and records all the songs singlehandedly which takes a pretty fricking long time per song. Except for one particular song called "Rise" where he gets this girl to read a poem for about 10 seconds. But what's done is done and besides, if he really wanted to I'm sure Tom could sound like a girl, too.

Go to http://mysite.verizon.net/tad14/music.html and give some songs a listen. He'll thank you and I'll thank you. Lyrics are also posted and are as easy as clicking the link

Pees, out.
