"YOU KILL ME"
Once again I am proud to be part of a new SKINNERRAT CD.
"YOU KILL ME"
The story of "Little Rose", an abused child, and of her life and death struggle in a world of injustice and pain.
Those of you who are familiar with the SKINNERRAT legacy will recognize the demonically unique songwriting of Doctor T (Gary Telgenhoff), the senior medical examiner of Las Vegas
and rock drummer extraordinaire.
Dr. T asked me to collaborate on a few of the songs on "YOU KILL ME". I happily joined in. I also contributed some of my very last guitar stylings just prior to my heart attack in July of 2007.
This CD has been almost two years in the making and is very much worth the wait for SKINNERRAT fans.
Of particular interest to me is Dr.T's interpretation of my song "REMEMBER THE CHILD"
A fitting climax to this story of "Little Rose" and her life, the rock interpretation of "Remember The Child" on this CD is a perfect question and answer to the
Issue of child abuse.
Congratulations Gary on a vision realized and a musical tour de force !

I
have on occasion been able to reach the bottom of my
heart for an emotion to define the character of a song.
I have been able to feel deep love for certain people
and to share the fruits of that love.
I've
led an extraordinary/ordinary life. By most standards,
I've "made it" in the music business. I will
always be deeply grateful for those years of music and
madness.
Today
I sit in intensive Care at Scottsdale Healthcare, a
state of the art hospital facility where the combined
skills, compassion and technologies and prayers of thousands
of people from around the world were converged on me
as I lay dying from a massive heart attack. My kidneys
had failed, the prognosis was not good, and I was in
a world of hurt. I believe that my current state of
recovery can be laid at the feet of every one of you
people out there, who showed the tremendous outpouring
of love for me and to me in a time of deepest need.
My left arm and hand are completely useless, but doctors
tell me that with occupational therapy, I should be
able to be back playing guitar again.
As
much as you've loved me and cared for me, I love and
care for you right back, from the bottom of my heart.
