The Proods

Brian's songs are so unique, he really is on another level.... They're deep, soulful and fun to jam to. We have a cycle, each time we get together we do a different member's song...I can't wait until it's Brian's turn next.

This song is about one of the Prood girls, who is a school teacher ….special THANK YOU to Colleen Dillon for her endless support and encouragement. Lyrics… As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room and your record player fails…

What do you call guys like us, who are from the USA? USA-guys? Why, we’re USAnian of course.

Ok, I know that it appears that The Proods have been posting so grim music of late, but this song started out as an homage to one of the Lady-Proods, and just kinda got away from us. More stuff following….bright, chipper love songs.

We haven't been this excited about a track in a while. Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!

This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
