There was a time when?

There was a time when I was young and stupid. Not much has changed except I’m not young anymore. I grew up in Poteau and me and my friendly neighborhood buddies terrorized the whole Hospital Hill area on our bicycles, walking etc…. We were never in the house before dark and normally just when home long enough to eat and off we went again. I think it’s sad that our kids can no longer do that without the fear of being kidnapped. Well I’m glad both of my kids are almost grown and I have none of those issues to worry about….BUT both kids are driving (my baby boy just got his license last week)  ….on the city streets….OMG….. Hopefully they were taught well. I think they both drive good.
As I grew up on the hill I taught myself to play guitar and decided at a young age to become a rock star.  Most music around the house was country which I liked but Rock was my thing. Kiss, Aerosmith, Stones, Beatles and many other bands from way back. Thanks to Diamond Don Barnes for keeping it Rockin at KLCO back in the day.
Anyway music has taken me many places in my life over all these years. I met my Beautiful Wife Stacy with music. Both Kids can sing Blake plays a mean guitar already and he just started a year ago. Thank God he also has an ear for the classics as well as his modern day music. Ashton just loves to sing and is dang good at it. Stacy is a musicholic. She has numerous playlist on Playlist.com and MySpace and she loves to just sit with headphones and rock out. She too loves all types of music and was also a Diamond Don fan growing up. It does tend to get noisy around the house sometimes and I enjoy all the music styles everybody is jamming to. I’m no longer into the bars and clubs like we played in my younger rockstar days .
During that time though hundreds of songs were written by myself and sometimes with many friends. I have created a site of many of those old songs for you guys to check out. The site is free and you don’t even have to register if you don’t want. You must remember that most of these recordings are OLD and were recently digitized from old cassettes, 8Track Tapes and Reel to Reel tapes. Tons of them were recorded on crude equipment and quality is poor. Most haven’t been heard in 15 years or more. For all the ups and downs in life you can hear some  in song. You can also hear Love on the First Strike band songs that I wrote 8 of the songs about my then Girlfriend Stacy who is now my married-for-23-years love of my life wife Anyway here is the site and you are welcome to register and comment as you like. Songs can’t be downloaded but there is no limit to listening. http://www.tonymorganmusic.com I hope you enjoy this and it spreads a little bit cheer and maybe even laughter (I’m sure about the laughter).
