Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera

Featuring Marc Clayton 

Standing still can cause one’s soul to ache

Doing right of promises that we made

I have got to choose

Too make or brake

So, tell me now which road do I take

Albert Bouchard

What a great partnership for a Rock song, the drummer from Blue Öyster Cult and a quote from Mark Twain.   

I can quote you some Samuel Clemens

His words echo down from the heavens

Forgiveness is like the sweet fragrance

Violets leave on the heel that crushed it 

Apple Music

Alan Dunham & John W. Nassivera

Featuring Alan Dunham

  

I may not be right, but I’m up for the fight

I’m not that type, don’t fall victim to the hype

Hang on tight, lets embrace the night

You’re clean… out of sight, I see… that in hindsight

Tripped and stumbled, about to crumble

Apple Music

Giving is a true confession 

A gift of our hearts’ expression

Of love in our possession

Breaking the chain of oppression

There are days when I choose the wider path

But the road seems to narrow to the left 

So, I go back to the place where I should start'

What a strange sight, nothing looks quite right

Made by your hands, now that’s a silly plan

Believe your eyes, yep, best money can buy

That’s right baby, there’s no maybe

Alan Dunham & John W. Nassivera

Featuring Alan Dunham  

Rock me with the answer I need

Roll me to a field of dreams

Not to the beat of the same old tune

Searching high and low for the perfect pitch

Giving is always the right gift

Bands make it rock Roadies make it roll

Write me a song that’s music to the soul

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

If you could see beyond that wall, you’d know it all

You’d be amazed to see

The bright beautiful truth that lies in me

Bob Bates & John W. Nassivera

Is that a smile I see, sure looks it to me

A gentle heartened smile without limits

Is that a smile I see, sure looks it to me

The kind that raised another person’s spirits
