This song is from an album I did for Polydor, K.K. in Japan by the same title, An Exhibition. I am a fan of visual arts and have a few working-artist friends. There is a similarity in our philosophies about our work and we all feel that our best works may not get appreciated in our lifetimes, if ever. That's the underlying premise for this song.
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
A observation of the "political nature" of not just politicians but folks who use folks to get where they need to be. Not cynical, just objective.
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
I went to England a few years back to write with my friend, Chesney Hawkes. I wrote this one in my head while flying there. I was, coincidentally on Flight 136.
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
I wrote this one first for this record, it was the single, however it wast the last to finish because i needed to write one final line which ended up being, "rearranging my shirts and some of my family ties." I last day, the last minute before I had to had the project to the great engineer, Josiah Gluck to mix, I came up with it, whew!
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
I had so much fun working with Michael (one-take) Landau on this track. Our coffee was still hot when this track was finishedÉ
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
There's something melancholy about old abandoned homes. I was moved to write about it, so I did. The special thing about this track, to me, is that my daughter, Sarah plays the flute solo.
From Polydor, K.K. (Japan) An Exhibition
This is one of my favorite recordings of my music The song exposes my jazz tinged influences and includes great performances by my fellow musicians, Jeff Porcaro, Brandon Fields, and Jimmy Johnson.
From Polydor, K.K. (Japan) Caretaker Of Dreams
My view of art is that it's a transference of emotion, thought, and premise to the medium of choice. In this song the artist uses her art as catharsis for her unrequited love.
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
One thing I like about writing songs like this, solo, is that many co-writers wonŐt go near subjects like this. It's like painters only paining smiles on all the faces, isnŐt it?
From Polydor, K.K, (Japan) An Exhibition
Once in a while I try to write one that may have a shot at being in the Smithsonian someday, at least my own personal Smithsonian.
From unreleased Randy Goodrum Album, Unabridged
I was shopping with my wife, Gail and my youngest daughter, Sarah at Bloomingdale's in N.Y.C. I sat in a chair while they were browsing through some clothes, took out a pad and pencil and wrote this.
My old high-school friend and ex-Jazz-trio member, Bill Clinton and some mutual friends convened the day after his election to the Presidency at a private home for some coffee and celebration. It was like a reunion. This is the core feeling behind the premise for this song.
From Polydor, K. K. (Japan) Words and Music
I originally wrote this, hoping that Jane Oliver would record it. Unfortunately that never happened, however a number of artists have recorded this piece, including the Grammy winning version by Chet Atkins and Mark Knoffler. This is my version.
