IT'S ONLY A MOVIE.mp4 from Memory Lane Movies on Vimeo.
I wrote this song the day after Desi passed away. I immediately called Frank Swift and suggested
we make a recording of the song and put together a video. Unfortunately Frank was going to Hawaii
in a few days. Well, one thing led to another, and the whole project got put on hold. Meanwhile I recorded
a demo in my studio and sent it to Frank. Still, weeks went by before we are able to rehearse.
Then I remembered my old friend John Carden who had a local recording studio SOUND MACHINE
here in Hampton. John and I have worked together on several projects, most notable was
THE NOR'EASTERS and we recently did a song for a local Boston Rock and Rollers CD,
in memory of a Boston rock Icon Asa Brebner. Unbeknown to me, John was now playing the
bass guitar. Which was ironic because Frank had suggested we lay down a bass track.
Long story short, we recorded several tracks with me singing lead vocals and playing lead guitar
and rhythm guitars. John played bass, and then Frank came in and sang backing vocals as well
as playing a rhythm guitar. The video is pretty basic. I chose to include the lyrics I wrote to
the song and used all the photos from the WE LOVE YOU DESI Facebook page.
I tried to get every single photo into this video. I realize that most of the photos
go by too quick. But rest assure, they are all in this video.
Desi always made me feel special. And it turns out, he made everyone feel like they
were somebody. And that's the whole theme of this song and video. Desi was a unique individual,
and I know I am not alone when I say, that he will be missed by all of us who knew and loved him.
Thank you Desi, for allowing me to play a small part in your movie. I love you brother.

The terrorist dads have children too. For instance, take this rare photo of some of Khaliddy's nephews and grandkids practicing killing Americans. One of the kids accidentally hit Khaliddy in the scalp causing the Sheik to get a few stitches. KSM turned around and executed the little Terrorist's father in front of the kids. According to an Al Qeada spokesperson, Al Kabob Kabobby, "The Sheik felt that he needed to set an example. So he shoot the child's parent." Whoa, that sounds a little extreme. But that's KSM for you. He's going to go that extra step when it comes to teaching the kids.  And so my friends, please take advantage of this weekly photo shop of the mastermind who planned 9-11 and resulted in the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians by KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). *Note to self -must pick up a case of Butterfly band aids at Home Depot This Week.
