Beggars for Some Soul

It all started at 595, a modest ranch home in Central Massachusetts turned into an impromptu jam space with the emphasis on original songwriting of all genres.

Later Stu (never told us his last name) donated an old Hammond A100 organ and Leslie 122 speaker, along with his excellent keyboard playing and stories of working for Albert Grossman, Janis Joplin's manager, as her sound tech. Stu was older than the rest of us, and it was rumored that this organ was used by many '60s and '70s bands and might have been at Woodstock?

I was writing at lightning speed and we were playing live in the Northeast, testing out tunes and arrangements.

What you have here is the past>>2010 to the present, where I now go it alone as a one-man band with demo and studio quality songs written at a high standard of excellence.

If you like it, please support and keep this music alive! Thanks — John Francis Mariano
