Album Preview

Summer recess is coming to an end and this means that I am going to start recording the songs for my first album soon. The hardest part, however, is to choose and pick a dozen or so from some 30 songs in total - I guess it'll be a trial and error thing which ones I will eventually choose, but I can safely say there's gonna be a nice mix of fast and slow tracks.

Recording also means getting new hardware for my nice little studio, as well as a good western guitar - I'm sick and tired of having six guitars and two basses lying around, all of them being average at the best. I just bought a great bass guitar, a Fender Jaguar - what an instrument! Tell me if you have a real good guitar you want to get rid of or if you want tu buy one of my quite good Ibanez 4-string or 5-string basses.

So long, MR

Perfect Day Lyrics

Perfect Day

Today is such a perfect day,
A perfect day to get away
No boss, no colleagues, no duties, hey
We're skipping work today

Let's spend the afternoon in the sun
Go to the beach and have some fun
So many things we can see and do
So pack your stuff and come

'Cause it's a perfect day, such a perfect day
And we're not gonna work today

Today is such a perfect day
A perfect day to steal away
And we're already on our way
We're skipping work today

Let's drink and talk and get a tan
And meet some girls I bet we can
There may be some opportunities too, so
Get your things and come

'Cause it's a perfect day ....

A perfect day, such a perfect day, it is a perfect day
And no one's gonna work today ....
Let's not go to work today


Mark Roc strongly recommends singing along loud when listening to "Perfect Day". Cheers.

"Perfect Day", my very first song to be recorded, is finished and will be sent to Austrian radio stations starting tomorrow. In the meantime, I have already started recording the next one, so as to be able to present my first album in early spring. I already received some encouraging feedback from various people - friends, music critics and people I do not know personally. This makes me really happy and even a little proud.
