A new song from those virtual hitmakers, Bonnet and Alias...................the words come from our own Graham Bonnet and the performance and recording by yours truly.......sing along if you'd like.................mp3's are available upon request.............and of course a video will be available soon...........BTW sorry we haven't finished the Downtown video, but never fear it hasn't been forgotten.........logistics sometimes play a role in this insanity...........Enjoy     





Rotterdam Square
Words: Graham Bonnet  
Performed by: Alias
w/apologies to Simon and Garfunkel

Is Ronnie going to Rotterdam Square
99 has all you can eat.
Cheeseburger, fries the usual fare
Sadly he needs a double booth seat

Tell Ginny to make him a quadruple X shirt
Petta's has all you can eat.
And Spandex seams would really not hurt
30 years since he's seen his feet

Tell Diane to bring him to Brandon's new place
Lunch buffet with all you can eat
And smother it all with a brown demi glace
Almost as good as Loren's Dolce Vite'

Walking it off at Rotterdam Square
La Famiglia all you can eat
Fine wild boar and succulent hare
grilled fatty ribs and sweet roasted meat

Tell Ronnie to get to Rotterdam Square
Needs new pants from all you can eat
Split the seams from climbing the stair
The next pair will have 6 extra pleats

Tell TJ to meet him at Rotterdam Square
Top's Diner has all you can eat
His child's tie and stained blazer to wear
Free room and board can never be beat.

The vocal phrasing is SUPERB! Alias NAILED IT! WILLIE NELSON!!!!!!!!!!!


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

There really is a God ain't there.  This brought me a great laugh just before retiring.  It has been one hell of a rotten week and I got to hear this just a few minutes before my week ended     thanks you and the gang are  mighty talented.  I saved it as a mp3 file I loved it so much.

The recording is awesome. I really enjoy writing lyrics for an artist like Alias. When you are penning lyrics for someone with his talents at phrasing, it is as if you are walking in the same rarified air as Waylon Jennings writing something for Willie Nelson, Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen for Sinatra or Irving Berlin writing for Bing. I am really humbled to have Alias singing my words and doing it with such flare. Without Alias, there would be no inspiration in my pen.
