Bio
We just finished a full length CD!!!! Its called Never Cancel The Stage! 12 brand spanking new tunes. It's available on iTUNES or email us if you'd like a copy. We'll even sign it if ya want us to. The music of Two Ton Shoe combines world-weary rock wisdom, deep pocket pop sensibility, wry white soul optimism and a kind of barely restrained muscular chopsiness underneath it all that threatens to rip your face off if you’re not careful. The songs sound as though they were crafted with painstaking care in a secret laboratory on the moon, designed to liberate the masses from urban loneliness and modern radio lameness. Formed in 1995, primarily from the members of Boston alt metal outfit Mystery Jones, Two Ton Shoe won instant street cred in the New England area with live performances that had both local music aficianados and drunks screaming and local musicians shaking their heads in dumb admiration. While the punch and ferocity of their metal background gave the music a solid launch pad, the music was now driven by nasty funk grooves and tightly constructed pop melodies, along with soaring solo performances that brought to mind the craftiness and charm of 70’s session musicians laying it down on buttery black vinyl. Successful pop music has often been about experimentation – taking disparate elements and combining them in a novel way. Listening to TTS, one gets the sense that they’ve done this, but in a sincere and heartfelt way. A true hard-on for music is reflected in their songs. While the writing is mature and thoughtful, one easily imagines that the guys in the band have maintained the souls of fifteen-year-old boys, kids whose identity is wrapped up in the bands they love, whose happiness depends on the sound of vicious snare drums, growling guitars, fat-assed bass lines and hooks, hooks, hooks. In 2005 TTS inked a deal with Pastel Music in South Korea to release a double CD for distribution in east Asia. TTS released Never Cancel The Stage, in Korea in October 2008! ................

Ask Yourself - Have You Been KIND TODAY Two?
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS MONTH - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT KINDNESS ...
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their lifetime. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life?
Most of us think that changing the world is impossible. The world is too big…too many people in it…too many problems to solve. Do you often feel this way? While it’s understandable, be assured that it is not true!
NO ACT OF KINDNESS ~ HOWEVER SMALL IS EVER
WASTED! HOW MANY LIVES CAN WE CHANGE IF WE
PRACTICE KINDNESS EVERY DAY?
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Only WE Can STOP WORLD HUNGER Two!
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORLD HUNGER ...
Here is some FOOD FOR THOUGHT ~
> Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of HUNGER
> 75% of them are CHILDREN
> 30 million people a year DIE OF HUNGER
> HUNGER is the world's #1 Health Risk ~ It kills more
people every year than AIDS, malaria, and TB
combined
> 1 in 7 people in the world will go to bed hungry tonight
> 925 million people do not have enough to eat and
98% of them live in developing countries
> In the U.S. alone, we spend 5 times the amount each
year it would take to feed the world's hungry on WEIGHT
LOSS PROGRAMS

Two My Friend
“LOVE knows NO LIMIT to its ENDURANCE,
NO END to its TRUST,
NO FADING of its HOPE;

BUT INTO MY HEART. IT WAS NOT MY LIPS YOU
KISSED, BUT MY SOUL.

Just Be YOU Two!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BEING YOURSELF ...
“About all you can do in life is BE WHO YOU ARE.
Some people will LOVE YOU FOR YOU.
Most will love you for WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM,
and some WON'T LIKE YOU AT ALL.”
~ Rita Mae Brown
ALWAYS BE A FIRST RATE VERSION OF YOURSELF
INSTEAD OF A SECOND RATE VERSION OF WHAT
SOMEONE ELSE WANTS YOU TO BE!

Sending FRIDAY LOVE and LAUGHS Two!
A Lawyer in a Mousetrap - They Left $$Cash$$ as Bait
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...
How do you get a lawyer down from a tree? Easy - just cut the rope."
"It was so cold last week that I saw a couple of lawyers with their hands in their OWN pockets."
"How was copper wire invented? Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."
"How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? How many can you afford?"
"The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."
"How does a lawyer go to sleep at night? Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."
LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

Richard
