THE JERSEY BOY STORY
First of all let me thank you for visiting https://www.tradebit.com have gotten great reception to the music particularly in Europe (Netherlands,Belgium) where Asphalt Prairie and Jersey Judgement Day have been getting radio https://www.tradebit.com cover of the CD Workin'' Man''s Dream is an old picture of my parents Audrey and Tom https://www.tradebit.com was the workin man and Audrey was his https://www.tradebit.comy were really great https://www.tradebit.como in the picture (seated in the car) is my godmother Gloria and her first husband https://www.tradebit.com only non Italain in the picture was my https://www.tradebit.com family was from the Tacoma,Wa. area so the only family I knew growing up was the Italian https://www.tradebit.com even though my name is Williams I am probably more of a "goomba" then anything else.I was an Italian/Irish kid growing up in Jersey City during the 60''https://www.tradebit.comt a https://www.tradebit.com don''t think this is an old guy album I got my son Darren (D-Man) playin lead guitar and he is only https://www.tradebit.coms none of us ever grew up anyway so actually this is like a teenage https://www.tradebit.com have a bunch of other Jersey "Goombas" playin on the CD like Joe Ferraro and Mike https://www.tradebit.com plays lead guitar on Asphalt Prairie,Real Thing and shares lead on One More https://www.tradebit.come plays lead on Someday and Meet Me In Your https://www.tradebit.comren plays both electric and acoustic lead on everything https://www.tradebit.com Ferraro is a legend in the NJ music https://www.tradebit.com played the old Stone Pony at the same time as Bruce Springsteen and his band Thulcandra opened for many of the legendary bands of that https://www.tradebit.com is one of the finest guitar players https://www.tradebit.come is another great talent and has a really unique,melodic https://www.tradebit.comren is also fantastic and likes to rip up the https://www.tradebit.com the guitar playing you can count on is https://www.tradebit.comnding out the band we have Jimmy Pearce on keyboard and Rob Albertson on https://www.tradebit.com is also the https://www.tradebit.comse are two very talented "jazz guys" from the Atlanta area.I play bass, handle all the vocals and play lead on Friday Night as well as fills on many of the other https://www.tradebit.com is hard to classify the style of https://www.tradebit.comhalt Prairie,Workin'' Man''s Dream and Friday Night are country https://www.tradebit.coml Thing is a jazzy https://www.tradebit.com More Time is a traditional rock song that kicks ass at the end with Joe and Darren trading leads."The Mick" is a rockin song about Mickey Mantle.I think it is a great song to my childhood hero."You''re The One" is a spiritual song I have dedicated to our men and woman in the military.I am so proud of these fine young https://www.tradebit.comre are some nice ballads and I hope the lyrics are https://www.tradebit.comy of the songs I wrote at night with a glass of wine and a tear in my https://www.tradebit.comt Movin''Train is one such song I wrote as a fathers advice to his son and my beautiful daughter Nicole.
"They say that good things don''t come easy true love is often hard to https://www.tradebit.comt play the cards that you''ve been https://www.tradebit.com''ll have a satisfied https://www.tradebit.comre''s no such thing as an unbroken heart or a lie that''s not been https://www.tradebit.comt stay out of the way of fast Movin Trains and you''ll grow wise but never old".
So it is a good thing to learn from other peoples https://www.tradebit.comwing up in Jersey City we learned form our own mistakes.
I hope you like "Jersey Judgement Day".It is kind of like an ode to my old friends from the neighborhood.
"Tough guys and wasted lives just like https://www.tradebit.comodlines and too much time with no place to go".
We lost at least 85 young guys to drugs and drug related deaths just in our https://www.tradebit.comd looking athletic https://www.tradebit.com many https://www.tradebit.come that are still alive are almost walking dead like one friend homeless and drunk in Fort Lauderdale.I really don''t know what went wrong but it was a tragic time and https://www.tradebit.com family in the neighborhood had all 5 kids die of https://www.tradebit.comre was a really little kid who was a couple of years behind me in High School, new to the neighborhood.I did my best to protect him but I didn''t see him, that https://www.tradebit.com name was Carl https://www.tradebit.com broke into https://www.tradebit.comens church one night hung himself over the alter and slit his wrists.I don''t know why these memories have stayed with me after all these https://www.tradebit.combe I want to go back and change https://www.tradebit.com https://www.tradebit.com were not poor https://www.tradebit.comt crazy living in volatile times.
Things like getting on the Central Ave. bus completely nude with body paint,stealing a https://www.tradebit.comty truck and giving away the ice cream,setting your car on fire and pushing it in the river,shooting out street lights etc. were common every day Jersey City occurrences.
We got started real https://www.tradebit.com line in that song goes "When we''re up here with our crew no one can block our https://www.tradebit.com NY lights from the Jersey side".Needless to say no one ever blocked our https://www.tradebit.com were a tribe and we stuck https://www.tradebit.com used to climb over the hill and sit on this big flat rock, maybe 15-20 of https://www.tradebit.coms was the Palisades where Jersey City overlooked Hoboken and the view of downtown NY was https://www.tradebit.com would tell stories,fight and drink and have fun."It''s a clear night in Jersey so meet me on the https://www.tradebit.comty''s got the vino so Jersey Boy''s don''t be https://www.tradebit.comty is Pat https://www.tradebit.com is the guy second from the left on the "old band" picture on the web site and on the back of the https://www.tradebit.coms was my first band "the Aftermath".Pat''s brother Luke still plays lead guitar for the NJ Troublemaker''https://www.tradebit.com old band from left to right was me,Pat (drums),Greg,Luke and Vinny and Tommy Ryan (not pictured).We played a https://www.tradebit.comt characters we were and what stories we could https://www.tradebit.com other Jersey band I want to mention is https://www.tradebit.coms was me,Claude Borrelli,Bobby Corrio,Charlie Matson, and Vinny https://www.tradebit.com were really https://www.tradebit.com of the original members of Blondie grew up in our neighborhood who I had the fortune to know and play with back then.
So let me tell you this CD goes real good with a nice bottle of wine and some agli ole with lots of garlic and crushed https://www.tradebit.com you ever order in an Italian restaurant in Jersey make sure you don''t say MAN A COTTI its MON A https://www.tradebit.com''t be a freakin green horn or you might get slapped.
So I wanted to tip my hat to all my old buds from Jeresy.I am very proud of growing up in Jersey City.
So now that you know the story buy my freakin CD.
Best Regards
Steve "Jersey Boy" Williams
