    .. .. .... ...... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ...... .......... It was the summer of 2003, in a basement in Stamford, Connecticut, when a group of classmates came together to form a jazz combo called the Standards. Their unique way of modifying various jazz songs carried the band from that basement to private parties and local functions where audiences quickly embraced their fresh sound and style, and referred them to new gigs around Connecticut. .... But with a passion for all kinds of music, the band members began feeling limited in the artistic expression afforded them by the Standards name, and sought to evolve the band into something more. A lead singer and a few musicians later, Summer Lost was born... .... Today, Summer Lost is an award-winning band playing shows all over the Northeast. At their core is a tight rhythm section with an alternate guitar or bass, keyboard and drums, all accompanied by a crisp horn line comprised of a trumpet and alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones to hold together the harmony. And completing the band is an outstanding lead vocalist, adding even greater depth and variety to their sound. .... In a word, Summer Lost is versatile, fusing elements of swing, blues, rock, funk, hip-hop, and of course, jazz to put a unique twist on classic and modern songs. In a live show, they are capable of moving seamlessly from modern rock tracks, to Motown hits, and even hip-hop-inspired performances. .... ....For more music of Summer Lost, check out ..........Summer Lost Music on YouTube............... .. .. .. ..Consistency - Live at Alive @ Five 7.10.08.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Make It Rain - Live at Alive @ Five 7.10.08.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Give It Up - Live at Sullivan Hall 8.9.08.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Summer Romance - Live at Sullivan Hall 8.9.08.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Roc Boys (And the Winner Is...) - Live at Sullivan Hall 8.9.08.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PASSIONATE LOVE ...

    "The PLEASURE OF LOVE is in LOVING;

    and we are HAPPIER by the PASSION WE FEEL;

    than by that we INSPIRE."

    ~ François Duc De La Rochefoucauld, French writer
       and moralist
      
    THE LOVE BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN IS THE

    GREATEST AND MOST COMPLETE PASSION

    THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE!

    EVIL has a FACE and a NAME Summer!
     

    "JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MICHAEL MYERS ...

    "I spent eight years trying to reach him and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply EVIL ...

    You've got to believe me, Officer, he is coming to Haddonfield... Because I know him - I'm his doctor! You must be ready for him... If you don't, it's your funeral!"

    ~ Dr. Sam Loomis from the movie "HALLOWEEN"

    IT'S HALLOWEEN ... I GUESS EVERYONE'S ENTITLED

    TO ONE GOOD SCARE!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EXCELLENCE ...

    "The QUALITY of a PERSON'S LIFE
     
    is in DIRECT PROPORTION to their

    COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE,

    regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."

    ~ Vince Lombardi

    THE MEASURE OF WHO WE ARE IS WHAT WE

    DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE!

    The MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD
    Plays Trumpet Summer!
     

    "JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" -  MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PLAYING TRUMPET ...

    "Playing the TRUMPET is such an intangible experience.

    The player is compelled to start FROM THE BEGINNING

    and build anew each day. It isn't like building a house,

    where we can RESUME BUILDING where we left off

    the previous day's accomplishments. EACH NEW DAY

    we must rebuild the foundation of our musical structure."

    ~ Armando Ghitalla

    IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU HAVE TO

    PLAY YOUR BEST WHEN YOU FEEL YOUR WORST.

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...

    “Man can live about 40 DAYS without FOOD,

    about 3 DAYS without WATER,

    about 8 MINUTES without AIR,

    but only for 1 SECOND without HOPE.”

    NEVER TAKE AWAY ANOTHER PERSON'S HOPE ~

    MUSIC is the POETRY of the air Summer!
     
      Blues Legend B.B. King

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MUSIC ...

    "MUSIC gives a SOUL to the UNIVERSE,

    WINGS to the MIND,

    FLIGHT to the IMAGINATION

    and LIFE to EVERYTHING.”

    ~ Plato

    TO STOP THE FLOW OF MUSIC WOULD BE LIKE

    THE STOPPING OF TIME ITSELF,  INCREDIBLE AND

    INCONCEIVABLE!

    NEVER EVER EVER QUIT Summer!
     
    The Power of Persistence
     
    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERSISTENCE ...

    "Lots of people LIMIT THEIR POSSIBILITIES by

    GIVING UP EASILY.   NEVER tell yourself this is

    TOO MUCH FOR ME. It's NO USE. I CAN'T GO ON.

    If you do you're LICKED, and by your OWN THINKING TOO.

    Keep BELIEVING and keep on KEEPING ON."

    ~ Norman Vincent Peale

    FALL SEVEN TIMES AND STAND UP EIGHT!

    NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ON HOPE  ...

    "DO NOT SPOIL what you HAVE

    by DESIRING what you HAVE NOT;

    but remember that what you NOW HAVE

    was once among the things YOU ONLY HOPED FOR."

     ~ Epicurus

    NEVER DEPRIVE SOMEONE OF HOPE ~

    IT MIGHT BE ALL THEY HAVE!
