About the
CD
We are sometimes caught
dealing in generic phrases like "military action" or
"defense plan," and we may forget that good men and
women, not words, defend freedom. These people are fathers, aunts,
cousins, younger, older, grumpy, funny, quiet and/or loud, just
like you and me, except they offer their lives "on demand"
to protect ours. This CD is about them and their steadfast
courage.
50 cents of every CD retail sale is donated to the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund. 95%
of all their donations go to rehabilitating the troops
wounded in war. Produced for Goodnight Kiss Records by Janet Fisher. All songs Scene Stealer Music (ASCAP) or Goodnight Kiss Music (BMI). (C) (P) 2005: RHYTHM OF HONOR All rights reserved.

Track 1: Ain't Nobody To Dance With (5:56) RAHJ about the writer / artist: RAHJ As a 57 yr.old writer, singer and Christian-based, Label owner, I'm set on producing new oldie-but-goody style music in many different genres (music for the rest of us) beggining with the debut of my first cd in February. Being a decorated Vietnam vet, I thought the troops in Iraq could use a song to sing, thus, "Nobody To Dance With |

Track 2: Voice Of America (3:38) Alex Stangl about the writer / artist: I could be wrong, but I think I'm the only songwriter on this "Rhythm of Honor" disc that is not an American. I am a Canadian. Although
Canada was not involved with the Iraqi war, I am
nonetheless left with nothing less than admiration and
awe for the men and women who serve in the American
Forces. |

they're looking Then we're

Track 3: Military Way Of Life (3:54) Tarey Wolf |
about the writers /artist: Tarey Wolf Tarey's work digs deep into the poetic of her pop and rock roots, producing a hybrid that is at once fresh and familiar. Vaughan Daniel The AirForce was my family for four years and I jumped at the chance to write a song about that family and what it's like to be a part of something so powerful. |

"Freedom, A Soldier's Story" (Verse 1) all the fathers and the daughters- the captains and the sergeants-lieutenants of the squadrons the minute in the margins- the senate and the marksmen-defendants as the targets- all dependents as descendants diminish in darkness- still about face and march west thru the harshness- we know it's hard stress feeling so heartless- but ya'll all blessed-cuz in GOD rest the souls of our best- the souls of our flesh callin to fall next-yet it's all spec's in reality ya valor ain't value free, no matter how bad they vowed it had to be- so stand up throw ya hands up- salute ya company's-platoons-brigades- the blue and-red the white- the stars and strips- the struggle and the fight for the honor the Right!

"My father served his country in the United States
Navy during the Korean War. He actually entered the
service at age seventeen with the permission of his
mother, who was raising my father and his sister all by
herself. He put himself in harm's way and sent much
of his pay home to help his mother with the bills.
What could make a son prouder of his father than that? |

Track 10: A Ballad Of Junior (3:29) Alton Rex about the writer / artist Alton Rex 'Ballad of Junior' is the true story of what happened to my Uncle Leonard Skierski during WWII. It was a story told at family gatherings and holiday meals from the time I was a very small boy. Uncle Junior was my Mother's eldest brother, and I know they had a very special relationship... one that endured even after he was changed by the vagaries of war. My father was a career military man, serving 8 years in the Marine Corps and 13 in the USAF. Dad's service included combat tours in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He died on Mother's Day, 1965 after returning from his second tour in Southeast Asia. I've performed live as part of the Father's Day Rose Remembrance Ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC (2001 & 2002). I'm also a veteran of the |

having served an enlisted tour in the United States In 1999, I started
to perform free concerts for veterans at VA Hospitals in
Texas. After my performance at the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington, DC, there were more opportunities
to perform at events for Veterans and active duty
military folks, and as I toured nationally, I started
doing shows at other hospitals. |

This CD is about Americans and our wonderful country. Rhythm Of Honor is dedicated to the brave men and women that put their lives on line every day so we can be free, go to work every day, send our kids to school, and spend our hard-earned dollars on big screen TVs, computers, and all the other luxuries of living in the U.S. The things we take for granted are nonexistent in countries that are depressed by dictators and communist rule.
I do not believe in war but I most certainly support our people that are the defenders of our freedom. What brave souls they are, without them we are nothing. I did my time in the military and I am proud of it. I did not see any action when I served; I was one of the lucky ones. I know what its like to lose a loved one but have no idea the pain and suffering that there is for those that lose a husband, wife, son, or daughter to the ravages of war. Their pain must be unbearable. Think of those folks who are left behind yet they are still liberated like us because of people willing to risk their lives so that we may live in freedom and prosperity.
Eleven tracks make up this powerful CD. It is full of heart wrenching lyrics that will make you reevaluate your life and bring tears to your eyes. The variety of music is extraordinary, giving all musical tastes a chance to zone in on the meaning of this disc. While the musicianship is good, the heartfelt lyrics will leave you reaching for a Kleenex. This is all about personal stories, the lives of those affected by the real heroes of life, our United States military.
A Soldiers Daughter is a young womans ode to her father and the pride she has for his service to our country. Send Me, tells the story of a brave man saying I am not afraid to die with honor for my cause. The Ballad Of Junior is another tale about a young man that comes back from war changed forever. His mom expects the same person to return and it does not happen, the realities become evident quickly once the soldier comes back from the war to stay. The horrors of war will tear your heart out and disturb your thought process for the remainder of your life. If you have ever been to a veterans clinic or home you will understand were I am coming from. You do have the op
