Sometimes we forget, and we need songs like these to remind us that we will overcome some day....

Lock me up in 75 and throw away the key. Beam me up Scotty, no life on this planet.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. W.Blake
About Me:
 
Mal Solo, im Duo oder als Band, macht Gert René Schmidt - Sänger und Gitarrist - FolkRock und NewCountryRock. Auch bekannt unter dem Überbegriff "Americana". Musik die glatt ins Ohr rinnt. Aber auch vieles Anderes was irgendwie auch Kanten hat. Trotzdem nicht aneckt.

Als neugieriger Wanderer zwischen den verschiedenen Stilrichtungen aus 45 Jahren Rockgeschichte extrahiert Gert die musikalischen Grundessenzen der alten Haudegen wie Neil Young, Bob Dylan und vielen anderen lang und kurzhaarigen Weltverbesserer, wie z.B. Joan Baez, Janis Joplin, Amanda Marshall, John Denver, Simon&Garfunkel, Crosby Stills Nash, America, Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Denver etc... Teils akustische "Lagerfeuer"-Gitarrenmusik, teils härterer elektro Rock bilden die akustische Kulisse für seine Arrangements. Gert interpretiert direkt an den Wurzeln und lässt so sein eigenes rhythmisches Klanggefüge zum Mitempfinden, Wohlfühlen und Mitrocken enstehen.

Hey Gert, Just stopping by to make sure you have a merry one with what ever you do this time of year, and to say that I hope your not pissed off at me, for I didn't want to rub you wrong, for I value your opinion, and musical advice. I am just computer illeterate, and I don want to play Prairie land with you one day.. I'll try to get my Daughter to help with the mp3 player..Jeff
