MONUMENT by Upright Grand Master J
A solo collection of songs written in 2016/2017; call it an album, call it MONUMENT . . .
The idea for the album theme came about after listening to songs I recorded back in the early eighties on a Fostex 250 4 Track Cassette Recorder – one was titled ‘The Age of Computers’. Through the song, I professed the ‘coming of age’ for the computer to be an amazing, powerful advancement for humankind (think 60’s sci-fi influence!).
I could not, did not, envision what we have today – the ‘computer’ really is a MONUMENT (to cooperation at the very least).

To reach me, music must promise
to take me on a journey . . .
An early love of music led to piano lessons and cover bands; culminating with
' John Doe '
in the eighties - enjoyed the thrill of local/UNI radio airplay, and dozens of record company rejection letters . . .
