“Words and music TALENTED singer-songwriter Stephen DiJoseph doesn't make a big issue of having Tourette's syndrome, so we won't either. His new CD HYPNOTIZED highlights his low-key, prog-rock sound and jazzy folkways plus, his dynamite, swinging version of the Moody Blues ‘Nights in White Satin’.”
- Michael Harrington- Philadelphia Enquirer
“Complex, bold, awe-inspiring performances and arrangements. The likes of which this listener has rarely witnessed.”
– BrianAustin Whitney- Founder, JP Folks International Music Organization
“...Strains of acoustic folk-rock, Beckish modernism, soft-pedal soul, and drum-'n'-bass coalesce into a poetic and accessible collection of songs with an original flavor."

With wings of dark crimson A dragon flies overhead But nobody in the busy city Pays attention to the massive form Too buy to care they Pass it off as a jet plane
A winged horse gallops Through a crowded park Its coat a shimmering white But nobody cares to look up Too busy with their lives To observe this Pegasus' flight
On a street corner a burning Red phoenix prepares for its pyre But nobody around takes The time even glance Too busy checking the time To see the reincarnation fire
People in this world laugh At the mention of magic And never stop to notice That acts of wonder happen Everyday everywhere right In front of their eyes jn/09
Hi Stephen!! Thanks so much for the request :) So glad you like my tunes :) I would love to play a show with you! I listened to your tunes and I think they are so great!! I saw one of your live videos and am SO jealous that you have access to a folk music club near you!! I wish there were more venues like that here :)
Had a thought while driving home and I wanted to share it. Hope you don’t mind…
When we truly let go of past hurts, hang-ups and disappointments and choose to live in the moment, in the now, in the PRESENT, life truly can be a GIFT.
Hope you liked this one. :)
Also, if you like these, shoot me comments letting me know, join me on my Facebook page and when I send you a link to my website once it gets finished next week, be sure to go it and sign up and I’ll send these to you there as well. Take care
A gift was given to me, Across the distant miles; A package wrapped in laughter, And filled with joy and smiles. I pulled away the ribbons, And took the greatest care; When I reached into the gift, I found friendship waiting there. A friendship like no other, A connection from the start; Not one I could see, touch or feel, Except here in my heart. That gift so rare and precious, Of friendship tried and true; Touched my heart and blessed my life,
And is what I found in you.

Have a Beautiful Week. Much Love and Support! Jackie
