Album Notes

"HEAR THE VOICE" is the CD...GREG BONHAM IS THE PERFORMER

A QUIET AUSSIE FARM BOY FROM THE OUTBACK....NOW CHILLIN' IN SEXY LAS VEGAS.
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ABOUT?

Allow me to explain:
I have been an entertainer all of my life and thanks to my 'farm boy' roots in Australia and the support of a loving family, I have been able to follow my heart and my wildest dreams.

This 'trip' has taken me and my beautiful wife and daughter on quite a ride..... from Sydney to London and now the USA.
I DO LOVE AMERICA...please check out "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS"

Hey, I also spent about 12 months touring the former Soviet Union and sold 14 million records on the 'Melodia' label.....honest...truly. But that's a few years back and a whole other story.

To the present:
I really want you to hear my songs.
My originals are pretty darn deep, I just can't help myself.
I try and write the formula 'pop' song but I seem to always get heavy....I guess that's who I am....can't help it.

My background as a musician is my inspiration for what I believe are strong, creative melodies. I'm proud of that.

My latest song, "I AM MY FATHER'S SON" could be a hit....I know it.
If Tim McGraw hears it...IT WILL BE!.
It's about MY DAD and probably YOUR dad as well.
I went deep inside for this one and just want to share it with you all.

Then I go off on a tangent and sing songs from the 'PHANTOM OF THE OPERA".... and an ANDREA BOCELLI hit ...what is he thinking, you may ask!!
I really have no excuses folks....I DO IT 'BECAUSE I CAN and because I know audieces enjoy it.

Many people have seen my live performances and concerts and they TELL ME they have appreciated the different genre's of music I present and my vocal range.
They are divided in their praise and comments, ....equally between my original compositions and my 'serious' voice 'stuff.....THAT'S WHY THEY ARE HERE ON THIS CD.

I have played the trumpet since I was 9...and LOVE Maynard Ferguson, so I have included "McCARTHUR PARK."
I play my butt off... and I sing the middle bit with LOTSA SOUL.... not bad for a white boy!
Check out the screaming DOUBLE C on the horn at the end.
Believe me, you DO NOT hear that every day.
(Just ask your trumpet player buddies)

Please enjoy my passion for music, REAL and HONEST lyrics and strong melodies.
I BELIEVE IN LOVE...I BELIEVE IN FAMILY AND I BELIEVE IN THE GOODNESS OF PEOPLE.
Man, that did sound corny.....see, I can't help myself.

Although, I must admit, sometimes that 'goodness' in people is buried pretty deep...so please take the time to look inside ...IT IS THERE!
LOVE AND RESPECT
GREG
