A message from Brad Handley

It has been a long standing joke with my family and friends to watch what they say or do around me. I will inevitably write a song about them. So, when I recently went through the hellfire's of divorce I naturally escaped to my song writing, to exercise those demons. Little did I know that this would be the first step on a journey of discovery. to find out not only who I was, but what true friendship and love is.

Not long after my separation, I meet a woman named Cricket. Like a fool (if only there was a hill nearby!), I immediately fell head over heels for her. She was almost the excact opposite of my previous "Significant Other", or now my "Insignificant Other". We dated for almost a month before she left for a job in Florida. 3 months latter, she returned with the news that she had fallen in love with a guy she had met. As a veteran of the divorce wars. she gave me a good piece of advice, "Do NOT fall in love too soon", she said, "I may never be your girl friend, but I will always be your friend".

"Everything U No is Rong" is a collection of songs that express emotions, passions and flights of whimsy to deal with the trauma and emotional devastation of divorce. It vacillates between grief, laughter and hope.

(Note from the webmaster / designer,. 3 songs are included for you to listening pleasure. These songs require the Microsoft Media Player to be loaded on your system. There is also a possibility that you might be asked to download the codec required to play these songs. The codec used will be downloaded from the MicrSoft site and is safe to download. It will take about 2 minutes on a 28.8 connection, but will give you FM Stereo quality on a 28.8 connection. Please note. I have been having trouble getting this to work with Netscape Navigator 4.51 (even though the "mime" types are set up correctly).

Will I ever find "True Love" , who knows? All I know is

"Everything U No is Rong"

All songs are copyright© by Brad Handley (March 1999) (the (other) artist formally known as Brad Handley)

1 Love Jones: 2:20

Written during the 3 month period Cricket was in Florida. It deals with the withdrawal symptoms from Love.

2 Lost in Love : 3:27

Written after Crickett returned from Florida with "the news". Felt like a two time looser, but refuses to give up.

3 Fridedaire Freda: 3:03

A tribute to my parents music, that I have recently fallen in love with, especially Cab Calloway and Louis Jordon Picture of Brad Handley

4 Lovers Paradise : 3:19

Reminiscing about a Caribbean cruise taken with my soon to be ex-wife. this cruise turned out to be more like "Mutiny on the Bounty" than the "Love Boat".

5 Everything U No is Rong 2:30

Inspired by Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton and The Firesign Theatre. Other than that I have no idea at all where this came from!

6 Angel without Wings : 3:35

Crickett claimed to be a angel , and so she is.

7 Menopausal Mama : 1:49

Inspired by a refrigerator magnet that read, "I have a gun and I am low on estrogen"

8 Sea of Blue : 3:16

About post separation loneliness

9 Viagra Bop : 2:35 

A standup song written in response to a "middle aged women's request" after hearing Menopausal Mama to write a song about middle aged men. Hey, I'm an equal opportunity offender! Picture of Brad Handley

10 Visions of Paradise : 3:11

Written about the color of Cricket's eyes. (They were contacts)

My opinion of Gourmet Coffee.
