Can Video Make A Radio Star?

Video killed the radio star and now is after your website

It’s a nice thought, since it killed radio stars (Billy Squire, Christopher Cross) thirty years ago. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it’s my new project to get ready for the next CD. As I write songs that I like, I’m posting them as a live performance. I do sometimes rip the audio from

Name This Tune

Joseph and John-cd release
