<p><span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>This one takes me back to playing heavy rock, with a little darkness with a couple of rays of sunlight...and thats the daily forecast for today heheh. The modern world has changed with technology and is such a busy place. This tune seems to personify it that way, with perhaps the hope that we'll find time to smell the roses and have a fresh outlook for the future. Live your days like it's your last...now is as good as it gets. I hope you like this song. Best heard cranked with a drink in your hand ! Comments are always welcome. Cheers - Bill Smith ( Bilbozo )</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffcc00;"><strong><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_28044.php"><span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffcc00;">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_28044.php</span></a></strong></span></p>

Davey Jones from the Monkees passed away from a heart attack.</span></strong></span></p><p><a href="http://todayentertainment.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/29/10540912-monkees-star-davy-jones-dies-at-66">http://todayentertainment.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/29/10540912-monkees-star-davy-jones-dies-at-66</a></p>

This is a song for anyone who is living their life in crisis, or dealing with pain or stress and needs to find strength and courage to change or deal with issues they have and to have faith in overcoming them. I had a rough couple of months and this song was significant to me and helped me heal and stay strong. I played all the instruments and programmed the drums and yes (gulp) this is my vocal debut singing (if you don't count "Pull My Finger Polka" hehe), and the first song I completely produced alone. I hope you enjoy this song and for those who are in a position of crisis or pain, I wish you better days. Comments always welcome. - Cheers and take good care - Bilbozo</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_27478.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_27478.php</a></span></strong></p></div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px 20px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">It's seems like ages since I have posted a song, almost 3 months. It's great to be at it again as well as collabing with all my good friends. Life threw a few curveballs and I got sidetracked . Music has always been a great escape for me. Not just the therapeutic creativity of excrecising my brain (too much trans-fat up there !), but to dream of being in a peaceful place. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">Hence the song "Cafe in Peru." It takes me to a place where things are simple, Where the smells of Peruvian coffee, culture, wonderment and mystery. I have travelled to many places in Mexico, Central America Life there is one of passion, values and romance. I am glad I finished this song today, because if I had any more of it's atmosphere it produced in my dreams, I might never have come back ! Can I buy you a Mountain Roasted Blend? Enjoy. I wish you Love, family, peace and music.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">Bill Smith ( Bilbozo )</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_26106.php"><span style="color: #ffcc00;">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_26106.php</span></a></span></p></div>
<p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: large;">Thank you everybody for the Birthday Wishes...I was really touched and overwhelmed with happiness. You are all like family to me. And remember....</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: large;">If drinking takes a day off your life, and good sex adds 2 days onto your life...you could possibly live forever !!!!</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: large;">Bilbozo</span></p><p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> Angela was digging this song during the Hockey Playoffs. So I convinced her to do another Mixstream Radio with Dad in the studio. A snippet here and there from her old promo and now it's a new updated one. Rock on Angela! She always enjoys any comments.

<p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">This is a collab with fellow friend, musician and keymaster David C. Deal, myself...with the acapella is from Chris Venna which I had found at Acidplanet. We decided to give this one a dark heavy rock or metal overtone but still hold a club groove to keep it moving and interesting. I told David it was an exercise in atmosphere. It basically shows how versatile David is, he virtually can play any genre with impecable success. Not really what people may expect from the two of us, but it definately was a lot of fun as all collabs are with Dr. Deal. Alawys an honor my friend. Cheers and comments are always most welcome.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">David C.

<p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>My brother Bob and I played together as guitar players in a number of bands about 20 years ago. After he became a dentist and I got into the printing business we moved away to different places and our band broke up and we joined different groups. Bob was also a very talented luthier and built me the best guitar I ever owned, a PRS-style custom which I play to this day.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>This was the first time we actually spent any time in the studio together in about 20 years. Bob wrote this song many years ago but we never had the chance to finish it. It was a real treat for me as it brought back so many memories of practicing in my parents garage with our band. We used to drive my folks crazy, but Pop was real proud of us, mom on the other hand wore airline headgear and tuned us out. The night we finished mixing this song, sadly, my father had a stroke from cancer complications and passed away 4 days later on Jan 6th 2012. He never had the chance to hear this song or see us play together in the studio, but I am sure it would have put a smile on his face. We miss you Dad. This one is for you Pops.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>Bobby Smith - Vocals, Guitar, Piano, Drums</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>Bill (Bilbozo) Smith - Guitar, Synth and Mix-Mastering</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_27396.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_27396.php</a></strong></span></p>
