Songs in the Raw! Oct 27, 2007

I deeply regret that I am going to be unable to RECORD songs for the next couple of weeks. I am heading to Nashville for family and business and then on to New Orleans for football and family. I'm very exited to be back in Nashville. I am recording a video for the first single on me next record. I'm also meeting with "Music Industry People" talking about distribution and promotion for my new CD. It will be a learning experience, no doubt.

So, in order to keep up with my weekly SONGS IN THE RAW, I am posting THREE songs this week. I'm also going to be writing from the road and I'll be back in the home studio as soon as I get home again.

Let me just tell you about the three songs;

"Live in my Hell" is another song about the Haight Street "people". I pass them all day long as I get coffee, run to the grocery store, buy some t-shirts, pizza, whatever. I wrote this song as I day dreamed out the window with my guitar in my hand. It's my song about what I think it might be like living on the street. There is so much that can go wrong in this life. Almost anyone can end up in a bad way. I pray that it never happens to me.

"Seeing This Girl" is a true story about a girl that I dated briefly. She was a bartender at one of my local haunts. As it turned out, she was dating a local rock star who was on tour all the time. I guess she was bored and had nothing better to do, so she went on a few dates with me. She actually said that she "sort of" had a boyfriend, but he wouldn't mind if we went out. We never kissed, we never did anything except dinner. She really just cost me a lot of money....that's about it.

"Heaven Tonight" is a song that I wrote watching the sun go down. What can I say, I am mystified by the sun and the moon and the changing of the seasons and all that crap! It reminds me of what it means to be human and alive on the earth.

I hope that you get a chance to enjoy the music. Make sure you go to Jon Roniger – Songs in the Raw – MySpace Page to give things a listen.

The SNOCAP store is always open for you.....check out the "SONGS IN THE RAW Vol 1" record that I created. 14 songs for $7.99. That's quite a steal!
