"... And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes I am complete
In your eyes I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
Of all the fruitless searches..."

About me: A precariously balanced system of imbalances...
...artist, gamer, catalyst, peeping-Tom,
super-hero, sound-junkie, ultra-geek, chivalrous renegade, cultured punk, hopeless romantic, fool for love, eternal student of life......it's the little things that make me smile... stop... look... listen... breathe... inspire... feast!
Born in the year of: the 'metal' pig. Oink, oink.
Tom Waits... charismatic story-teller with a penchant for freaky people and unusual settings. You thrive on the concept of the underdog coming out on top.
"...Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain..."
Hi Rebecca (aka Chuy P. Cabra)! Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
