New Release: innocent waters(please purchase at
AMAZON.COM)
Four Towns along Somewater River. . . time to continue
on from Blues Station to Cattailsville to Dusty Road
to
Innocent Waters. . . the coffee shop stays open
overnight
for the poet-playwright to work on his latest
play.
( The Kitchen Sink Skiffle Band also performs
there
once in a while). At the train station across the street,
the balladeer is waiting for the 5:04. With each change
of season, there's like a dancing of years of memories
that comes to my mind as I sit in the cafe looking
out
the window on a late afternoon; then it starts
to rain. .
. from here i go again. ~ Stu Rain

Reviews and comments on TDRS:

AIMEE EDMUNDS:
" I liked this album. . . and I'm pretty impressed with this
artist's depth. . . "
~~~~~~~~
ENGLAND, 5/2/01 freefolk.com, MIKE RAVEN:
"The outstanding track is Dusty Road.
If that does not bring a tear to your eye nothing ever will. It is a perfect little song. . . Simple truths and keenly observed
details of life in general stream from Padovano's pen and are performed in a misleadingly easy and natural voice."

ITALY, 5/17/01, Giovanni Pietro Scazzola, RADIOGOLD:
" Every week I transmit at least one of your songs and it's really
great music."
