More Lost Tapes ~ Amberain Plays “Portrait” and “Stolen Space” with Bruce Hilliard

There's a guy outside of my window throwing a knife at a tree. For the love of gaawwwd! Are we watching too much TV? NAAA!!

I saw Kelly Clarkson with no makeup (she actually looks better), Jon Bon Jovi singing old and unplugged and news reporters getting a chance to show off their journalistic prowess.

Some of the elected officials are showing actual sincere concern and not just lame PR “vote for me” rhetoric. That may be more unprecedented than the outbreak. People are stepping up.

The healthcare heroes are truly worthy of our deepest respect and cooperation. 

The grocery store put up plexiglass sneeze barriers so the clerk looks like the Pope back there. The actual Pope has moved to a bunker (I made that up), and we are staying six feet away from each other....and the band played on.

This episode features two more of the lost tape songs. Keep in mind, these recordings are from a cassette tape. The real masters, the reel-to-reel tapes, please realize, are really lost.

Here are two songs, Portrait and Stolen Space. Stolen Space started out as a jam song and eventually became a fav. Portrait was written by guitarist/vocalist Rick Frye. Rick passed away several years ago due to heart complications, which makes the song even more bitter sweet. It’s about having a broken heart. Here’s Portrait.

Honor your future, it comes with a lifetime guarantee. This is Bruce Hilliard...over and out!

Bruce Hilliard

Born in Seattle, raised in Aberdeen WA, Bruce Hilliard is a singer, guitarist and songwriter with a song list influenced mostly by pop/folk rock of the 60s-80s. He has been an opener for Heart, the Ramones, Dr. Hook, Wishbone Ash and Eric Burdon.
Early in his career Bruce completed Bachelor Degrees in Music and Journalism from Washington State University and, while never allowing a hiatus from performing and songwriting, joined corporate America in marketing and sales. That rocky road led him back to his passion and now records and performs live and with great appreciation to be back in his jam.

His musician interview based show has featured recording artists including John Oates; Grand Funk Railroad’s frontman Mark Farner; Steve Fossen, bass player and co-founder of Heart; drummer Carmine Appice; and Dave Bickler, lead vocalist (Eye Of the Tiger) of Survivor. The weekly half hour show has over 181 episodes and is becoming a strong platform for musicians of all levels to showcase their music and their backstories.
