Roland Vinyard,

"The Bard Rocks"

Ownself


Here is the part where we bring in blatant self-promotion. Yeah, he wrote it; in most cases, the words and tune both. You will find  humorous songs, some tongue-in-cheek ones, some “gospel lite”, some serious. Here’s where the layers of the onion called The Bard Rocks gets peeled. He fools around on the guitar a lot, and has worked up hundreds and hundreds of tunelets over the years. Some have stuck around, but most are long forgotten, including some he regrets losing. So some years back, he decided to get them down on paper from now on.  There are a few others, not listed here, which were too good not to have another verse or two. So, he doctors them.


BE SURE to check out "That Old Guitar" (see: "Media"), The Bard's newest CD, which features all originals, in a variety of genres. He is joined by several other stellar musicians, making this a great CD - 80 minutes long, too.
