NEW CHAPTER
It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)
Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about.
Let’s have more rock!!! You know, less effects on your voice and guitar would have made this even better, as it is actually a very good song!
AUESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
the original had some sweet instrumental but the vioce was just bad and your version vioce was good but instruments were bad
This is my favorite song right now. Not even kidding. Good job Randy and Jim! (You too Andrew:)
This is a Heart-Breaking Work of Staggering Genius. Too good for words.
No offense Andrew, but I like theirs.
Do Randy and Jim have their own website?
This is just plain EPIC! 8D
Is there lyrics anywhere?
Hear are the lyrics, thank you for your kind comments.

I Am Rock N Roll
Bridge:
I was with you on that hot summer night,
Under the stars on the levy,
And I’ve cried with you and I’ve sighed with you,
Whenever your heart was heavy,
I’ve slapped you in the face,
just to get your attention,
A quest for truth, eternal youth
Your independent voice of dissention.
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
Verse 1
I speak for the voiceless masses
Locked outside the gate,
Like the trumpets that toppled Jericho,
We’re gonna blow those walls away.
I’m a shelter for the broken hearted,
Who need a place for their pain,
They can lean on me ‘til they’re ready to leave,
And start searching for love again.
Chorus
Listen to me.
I Am Rock N’ Roll,
Not the empty idol of a TV Station,
I Am Rock N Roll,
An accident of my own creation,
I, Am Rock N Roll
And freedom is my inspiration,
I, Am Rock N Roll,
The heart and soul of a generation.
Yahhh!
Verse 2
I’m the voice of teenage agony,
Crying in the night,
Repressed, ashamed, misunderstood,
Poised on the edge of a fight.
I’m the party in the heart of your soul,
That starts with a single beat,
Marching in tune with a crazy conductor,
That doesn’t know how to retreat,
Turn up the volume!!
(Guitar Solo)
I Am Rock N Roll,
I Am Rock N Roll,
I Am Rock N Roll,
Woooo
Chorus
I Am Rock N’ Roll,
Not the empty idol of a TV Station,
I Am Rock N Roll,
An accident of my own creation,
I, Am Rock N Roll
And freedom is my inspiration,
I, Am Rock N Roll,
The heart and soul of a generation.
Yeahh,
Don’t you forget it!
Will you remember me?
