AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BLOG BY STEVEN TRIPP

INTRODUCTION

FOR THE PAST FOUR DECADES I HAVE LIVED THE LIFE OF A STREET ENTERTAINER AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST.  AMONG THE FRUITS OF MY EXPERIENCE THERE ARE THREE ALBUMS WORTH OF AS YET UNPUBLISHED/UNRELEASED SONGS THAT WERE COMPOSED AND RECORDED BY MYSELF AND MY BUSKING BUDDIES, ALONG WITH THE LIKES OF KEVIN BORICH, PETER HEAD, STEVE WILLIAMS AND OTHERS.  

THIS SITE CONTAINS EARLY DEMO RECORDINGS AND LYRIC SHEETS FOR A NUMBER OF ISSUE RELATED SONGS AND MY MISSION IS TO SHARE THEM ON LINE IN THE HOPE THEY MIGHT BE RE-RECORDED AND RELEASED INTO THE MAINSTREAM MUSIC MARKETPLACE BY A NEW GENERATION OF PLANET SAVERS.  

THE DITTY CALLED 'ONCE UPON A PLANET' WENT ON TO BECOME THE THEME SONG IN A 'YOUTH FOR THE ENVIRONMENT' MUSICAL PRODUCTION I HAVE WRITTEN AND MANY OF THE OTHER SONGS YOU WILL HEAR BECAME PERFORMANCE PIECES FOR THE MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK ALBUM.

THE OTHER TWO DEMONSTRATION ALBUMS I AM PRESENTING HERE ARE 'THE BUSKING YEARS' ALBUM AND 'THE SIDEWALK SERENADES' ALBUM. BOTH ARE ABOUT MY LIFE ON THE STREET AND OUT ALONG THE OPEN ROAD.
