As told by Our Own Gary Tripping!
I have entered another of my videos 'Broken' in another music contest 'Best Upcoming Band' on www.erooster.tv
Please vote for me...contest ends in seven days!!
I am a British singer/songwriter based in Portsmouth England. I have been involved in the music industry for 30 years touring Europe with varied band line ups but now work as a solo artist.
As a songwriter I can write in varied styles but as a performer prefer to stick to Acoustic/Folk music. I have written over 200 songs in varied styles with many of my songs being played on TV and radio stations all over the world. Most of the response I get for my music is from the US and hope to visit there next year.
A recent write up in a British music magazine described my songs 'as personal and intimate as a John Lennon song and sung in the easy listening style of a Paul Simon'. Two artists which I most admire and grew up listening to.
At the beginning of the year I began to produce music videos for my songs which have had a good response. My first Video 'Broken' has received over 5000 viewings on the varied sites where my music is available and the song has been taken up by an American Hip/Hop artist who has remixed the song and added a rap. It was also the first video to be played on the Michael Anthony Show which is aired in the US.
It is very difficult for independant artists not signed to a major label to get recognition especially when it comes to MP3 download sales and we rely on sites such as coolbreezes where we can hopefully build up support.
I have recently won two contests on www.erooster.tv 'Music Best Pro Music Video' and Talent Best Singer' !
Thank You, to all members of ~COOL BREEZES!~for your support and votes.
These videos titled 'Promo Video' and 'The Silence' plus other videos are also available for viewing on my video player which can be found on my profile page.

The sinking hole
The sinking hole
Sinking in the sea of
Nothing
And nothing
Still there
Complains
Emptiness would not agree
To fill a sinking
Hole
The hole has no intention
To scream and ask
For help
The hole is happy
Sinking
In the sea of nothing
And nothing
Is not happy
At
All

Monuments In America (A Poetic Essay)
to realize the thing that ails this nation
is the same disease we often meet
when encountering the homeless on our streets;
that a schizophrenia has plagued these states,
an ongoing rot that may seal our fates.
If you think it is me that is crazy,
I will tug on your sleeve and point
and you'll follow my arm, my hand, my finger
'til finally your gaze finds rest to linger
on monuments in America.
Whether found in our capital or on Mt. Rushmore,
men considered… Continue

"...the times and travels of an american bluesman."
"As you all know, in my humble opinion, Billy Jones is one of the most compelling artists around on today's Black Blues music scene.
For his latest album, he has put together a collection of his best songs
on a single album called "The Billy Jones Story." This is something that
I wish more artists should do with some of the outstanding music they
have released and I am glad to see that Billy has taken that step. Look
for 5 or 6 of these songs to make a… Continue

As I reflect upon the events of the last year, I can't help but feel thankful to still be alive today. I may still be in pretty bad shape, but nevertheless, I am still very much ALIVE! That is something to celebrate!

Please! Close the door!
Please! Close the door!
There's no safe place
for you and I,
amidst the deceit
all the lies
Until the pass
can be erased
no longer stares
us in the face

Blind Sculpting Lesbians are ruining My Life!
I'm trying to write something,
wanting to mean something,
hoping to move cold hearts
with phrases to make them love.
But, now I'm told on the off-chance
I should succeed,
no one will care!
"Sorry," they say at the poetry cafe,
" . . .your dissent is passe;
panning racism is declasse . . .
besides, have you noticed the President is black?
You've overcome already!
So get in line like the rest of us!"
I slowly slink to the back of the queue,
but I can s… Continue

Ninety Seconds
Ninety Seconds
I made my choice
I've lived it well
Your fool for life
Everyone could tell
Ninety seconds....
No time do you spare
For a fool who served you
You no longer care
Through sins,
Only God could forgive
My loyalty proved true
All I asked for....
Was ninety seconds
From you!

Snow for a little girl...
I was 5, I remember so well,
standing all day by the window,
kneeling on the couch,
making prayers...
The St Louis weather was balmy,
the grass sleeping,
the trees bare,
and no snow.
None, not even forecasted.
The little girl with the sad face
wasn't even thrilled with the Tree,
or the candy, and presents,… Continue
