Hello there good people, my name is Rick Paulus and I am a mess, but a good mess I pray each and everyday. :-))) (((-: Still working on it !!!
I have also been a professional piano tuner technician and musician of several years. I have had the honor of tuning pianos for several of the great piano players or groups of our time for various concerts and events. Lawerence Welk, George Shearing, Dino Takinakous, Jim Brickman, Ferante & Tisher, Roger Williams, Ronnie Milsap, Floyd Cramer, Boots Randolph, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Arnold, Walter Howsizk, the Bill Graham music team, to name a few and countless others. You will find some photos of Roger Williams and myself and the most expensive piano ever built, Steinway No. 500,000 in the extra photos section of my profile on here if anyone might be interested in taking a look.
I am a self taught musician on several instruments and in the last several years of my life I have made a serious attempt to become a composer/singer/songwriter.
I hope that anyone who finds their way here to my little musical garden will be able to make themselves right at home, sit back and take a few minutes to relax from the stress, trials, and worries of their day and enjoy listening to some of my attempts to create beautiful and soothing music.
So, having said all this I now leave you to the peace and un-quiet of my little musical garden. Have a very blessed and musical day !!! (((-:
Your music always blessess me no matter how I feel, thank you for bringing such beautifulness into this world that could be so gloomy at times. Your voice is like medicine to me...love and shalom in the name of our Lord .
Thanks for your nice comment. The tracks are from the album The Final Chapter(1999) about The Book of Revelations. Your new tracks are filled with hope, feelings and comfort. I love them! Good to have friends like you.
More than two thousand years ago A Celebration for the Dead, Returning The Night before the Celtic New Year With Costumes and Sacrificial Burning.
With a Celebration of the Harvest And to Honor one’s Dead Ancestry It spread across all of Europe In the Seventh Century.
“All Hallows Eve”, “Night Of The Dead” “All Souls Day”, for the Christians Nobody really knows for sure Where each of those Beliefs begins.
The first lighted fruit was gourds and turnips With Scary Faces carved, embers inside To ward off all of the Evil Spirits Who roamed the streets and countryside.
The Irish brought America this Tradition Of carving turnips and even potatoes But quickly learned Pumpkins were better Being bigger, wherein the garden it grows.
Bobbing for apples once was popular Dating back to ancient Roman days To honor Pomona, Goddess of fruits As just one of their many Holidays.
“Trick Or Treat” was for the Spirits To leave them a “Treat” outside your door If not they would play “Tricks” on you With all kinds of Evil held in store.
All Cats were thought of as Spiritual But the Black Cat was the very worst Some thought them Incarnated Humans And many felt that they were Cursed.
Beeswax candles were colored “Orange” And “Black” draped Caskets were the way Colors for those Masses for the Dead Back there in that Ancient day.
“Fires” where Druids Sacrificed life Burned to the skeletal “bone” Formed what we now call “bonfires” A “new” word we thought we’ve always known.
Worshipers danced ‘round those fires Wearing disguises on head and skin And throughout the years Halloween Has become steeped in Paganism.
And today we spend fourteen billion And most people don’t even know, “Why?” Except for all those Ghosts and Goblins And fake Witches flying ‘cross the Sky.

Your favorite is the Dolphin eh? I have been hearing that a lot lately.. It is funny, because that is one of my oldest songs.. but it took like 10 years to finish writing! I really like that song to.
I am just starting now to spread the word out about my music and my albums. So word of mouth is really important right now.
It has been a near two year effort just getting to this point. But all the hard work is starting to pay off. This is a very exciting time for me!
Please consider checking out my albums on my official website, MichaelSamson.com when it opens on August 17th. In the meantime, I am also on iTunes and Amazon.com if you’re interested.
If you like what you hear, please also help me to spread the word! I could definitely use the help!
Thank you again for your friendship.. and please stay in touch!
Sincerely,
Michael Samson Pianist and Composer
