Still Singing After All These Years..

My little title here is supposed to be a riff on the Simon/Garfunkel song, Still Crazy After All These Years, but I realize that those of other generations may not be as plugged into songs from that era so I felt a need to clarify.

I have known Paul Tegel since we were in high school.  He was always the one with the guitar, although he was not alone in that regard.  We all hung out together, everyone had a talent (except me).  Singers, musicians, poets, photographers, philosophers, artists.  About the only thing I had going was a penchant for using big words. A sesquipedalianist, I believe it's called.  It was an effort to keep up with some of the extraordinarily literary folks amongst us.

But this is not about me, its about Paul.

Paul is now the parent of four grown boys, and even a grandparent. He has been living in Michigan along the upper peninsula where it is both beautiful and very cold for many years.

Still singing.  The CD baby website describes his work as "contemporary acoustic/electric, instrumental songs with lyrics.  One of his reviewers puts it like this:

Music of Paul Tegel is greatly reminiscent of Chris Rea and Mike Knopfler. Between Knopfler’s melodious “nostalgie” and near-perfect harmonic logic and Rea’s virtuoso and joyful rock, this music also contains vehement nuances of blues that remind of Leonard Cohen. However, the very originality Paul Tegel offers is sufficient unto itself.

Here is his latest album: Ya gotta love the little humor dose. (Paul Tegel and the Gardeners)

This is his third album, here are the first two.. You gotta love the titles and the covers, and if you give him a listen, (you can purchase the album for $8.99 or download the songs on the CD baby website.. ) I bet you will like what's inside as well.  


Paul, keep singing for another couple of decades at least...
