Taking a long hiatus between book chapters, I thought I might just be done with the blogging business. But my son's boldness has brought me out of hiding for a second. Initially started as a Salon des Arts, Night of Grace is the perfect venue for me to give a shout-out for my singer/songwriter son Antonio Silva, better known to a small community as RocketCity.
While the video above does not quite convey the full heart-clenching poignancy of this song, "The Shorter Story", you gotta start somewhere. That is what I most admire about my son's endeavor: without waiting for the polish of a studio edit, he put himself out there, to be judged, to be liked, to be hated, to be ignored. I have never had the courage to lay myself bare in such a way, inviting the world to poke its fingers into my sorest secrets. So, bravo to you Toño, you're the balls.
Below, you'll find the link for his album Bedroom Demos, eponymous in that it was demoed in his bedroom.
Wait forty seconds so that you can get the free regular download.
