Gerry Hyde - Christmas in Kentucky #Flyah Review


From ever since that he could remember, Gerry had sung with my mom, aunt, grandmother and whole family.  From the time that he could talk; Gerry sung.  He remembered loving Elvis Albums as a child.  Later on it was John Denver, Jimmy Buffet & Paul McCartney to name a few.  He have always been a fan of singer/songwriters.  He realize that Elvis didn’t write his own music, but who doesn’t like Elvis.

Later on Gerry was one of 3 or 4 boys who sang 3rd soprano in front of the high school choir while he was in grade school.  They were the finale when we hit our high notes having no idea what they were doing, but people seemed to like it.  It was Gerry's 1st public performance as he recalled; finding it to be funny how life events seem to move in circles. 

In High School, Gerry was kicked out of choir because he was a rebel and much too cool to sing.  He was very shy about music for many years thinking that was for sissies.  He used to try to confuse the choir director by singing with the other sections in the middle of his section.  Students could see her head turn sideways trying to figure out what was going on.  After High School, Gerry would apologize to her and they hugged.  She forgave him, so he thought.

While moving on to college, Gerry had found himself rooming with a musical artist that played guitar, drums, keyboard, and other instruments as well.  He was introduced to Pink Floyd too.  He was taught  how to play picking things up quickly.  His 1st song was Buffet’s “Son of a Sailor”, playing with 4 chords and not 3.

Gerry had got married & started a family. He would put music away for many years until divorce.  At that time, he dug his ole buddy out of the closet, and with no inhibitions or regret, he began writing a lot.  It appeared the rest might had became history; for the record, he never intended it to be that way.  Hearing music in his head, Gerry could pick out the chords in songs pretty much playing them on the spot.  He would dream music; In fact some of Gerry's songs were from dreams.  He would wake up and voice record the idea quickly going back to sleep only to find a ½ written song later on.  Gerry decided that he should take it up a level started listening to my music vs. anything else while hanging out.  Not out of vanity, as he just liked it better. Gerry has a day job and music became a hobby for him, one that he's passionate about.

Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you

  "Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go. In an era where you can tune out with a tap, this song pulls you in with a vibe that feels both nostalgic and boldly forward-looking. The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive. The songwriting here is something to applaud. It’s got that old-school flavor—the kind of thing your parents might hum along to—mixed with a futuristic spark that hints at adventures not yet lived. It’s as if the track invites you to step into a time-warped alley where the streetlights flicker with neon possibilities. Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...

The man spoke.     With the phone being on speaker, Rellz and Boom recognized the voice.     “You keep searching!”     Said the familiar voice.     At that moment they knew the criminal was working for Tony’s brother Frankie Pachino.     Frankie spoke again saying.     “We need Tony to blame Boom for this.    W e robbed Boom’s Cafe earlier today, and to me it wasn’t  enough!     With Tony’s cousin being robbed, he will d...
