Radio Samurai

Radio Samurai was a project I recorded around 2015.  I was looking to record some songs that I had written,  which I found kind of quirky, but fun.   My intent was to keep this as a folk-music-type project and keep the instrumentation and arrangements simple and uncomplicated, but I think you can hear where I got in my own way  in that respect.   The Radio Samurai name was chosen because, while I wrote the material,  I felt artistically  lonely and disconnected from any kind of music scene and I liked the 'lone songwriting warrior' feeling it conveyed.  '673' refers to the average million number of breaths taken in a human life (if one dies at 80).  There's a reference to Beacon, NY in 'Incline Railway'.    The logo is an FM radio waveform that morphs into the Japanese character for Samurai.  Music, lyrics,  and all performances: Larry Sansone.

 A CD with the song recorded on it, and download link printed on it, was left on top of Mt. Beacon during the 100th anniversary celebration as part of a project  that a  Beacon artist,  Alan Goldsmith,  was doing at the time- not sure if anyone ever found it.  Maybe birds carried it off... that would be nice.
