Album Notes

2b continued...., follows "take cover!" in a series of cover tunes which might have one more cd coming, but it's a lot of work..., all the legal stuff and online work.

Just me and the Roland fantom X8 with a mic and PC which allows a guy to do it all from any hook-up to you..., way kewl! I just like keepin' these tunes alive.

"Fresh Air" is a special song from the 60's (yep, I was there and grown)when I saw Quick Silver Messenger Service in San Francisco's beautiful, Golden Gate Park. Now I have brought this tune into a contemporary mood so I could parody it with an environmental twist. It was originally sequenced (MIDI Music) by David R White who graciously gave permission to use this great work and if ya like it, please pass it on! Thanks to David and also to Jan Gunmar whose, "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" (Pete Seeger tune) only has my vocal and keyboard over it. Several tunes are permitted by HITTRAX of Austrailia (found online) who originally sequenced them as shown on album liners.
The rest I did. All songs are licensed through publishers.
I did all the art work and other stuff and provided a disclaimer for added materials on the album liners itself.


My versions of these tunes:

1. Bright Side Of The Street (Van Morrison)
2. Feelin' Alright (J. Cocker Version)
3. Fresh Air (A 60's song by Quick Silver Messenger Service bringing
a 'message' in to today ~ Originally sequenced by David R White ~)
4. Truckin' (Grateful Dead)
5. Higher & Higher (Jackie Wilson)
6. You Are So Beautiful (B. Preston & B. Fisher)
7. Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
8. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Dylan)
9. Where Have All The Flowers Gone
(P. Seeger ~Sequenced by Jan Gunmar~)
10. Wrapped Around Your Finger (Police)
11. Pride & Joy (Stevie Ray Vaughn)
12. Teddy Bear (Elvis dude)
13. Somewhere (West Side Story)
14. From A Distance (Julie Gold)
15. Lullabye (Billy Joel)

Running Time: 67 minutes All songs performed by Tom Tanzi (Vocals & keyboarding and sequencing) and enhancements of sequences, some originally by others. Bright Side, Feelin' Alright and Higher & Higher were originally sequenced by HITTRAX (of Austrailia ;online). Much Thanks & gratitude to them and special Thank You to Jan Gunmar and David R. White for all the great work and permission.
Added Thanks for this album to the patient Ken Kondratieff, Opal & Brian Scott (always helping) and as always Mark Rasmussen for keepin' it alive!

Tomas Nicholas’ latest release, “2 B Continued,” offers listeners great covers of age-old classics. Covering songs of legends like Billy Joel, Van Morrison, and the Police, Tomas takes an audacious step into a musical world where he fairs very well. His strong musicianship stands out throughout the CD. Interpreted through keyboard sequencing, covers like “Higher & Higher” and “Bright Side of the Street” take on refreshing new jazz-spiced musical forms. “Where Have all the Flowers Gone” illuminates Tom’s deep, rich vocals and heart-felt instrumentation. With a title like “2B Continued…,” listeners can’t help but eagerly await what Tom is cooking up next.
