Interviewing the Legends: Rock Stars & Celebs

"Reach For The Light" Sung by Kylie Willow Rock Raymond Productions CAPSHA RECORDS © Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved. lyrics: The streets are crying, hearts are torn Too many battles we were never born to fight. But I see colors in the storm A thousand voices rising, reaching for the light.   [Pre-Chorus] We’ve been strangers in the silence, But I believe in breaking through If we listen, if we try this We can build a world brand new. [Chorus] So, I’ll sing for the broken, the brave and the true  Raise a melody higher than the wounds we knew  Let the rhythm be shelter, the harmony heal  We can change the world if we dare to feel  Reach for the light, reach for the light  Together we rise, together we fight—with love   [Verse 2]  I’ve seen children draw their dreams On shattered walls with crayons made of hope  And I’ve heard elders softly plead  For unity to hold us, not just cope   [Verse 3] There’s a whisper in the static  A lullaby beneath the noise  It says, “Peace begins with one” And echoes in a million voices   [Bridge]  No more fists, no more fear Let the music pull us near  Every note a thread of grace Weaving peace in every place   [Repeating Lyric / Hook] “Can you hear me? I’m still here…” (softly layered, haunting, repeated like a distant call)  “Can you hear me? I’m still here…” (used between chorus and outro, fading in and out)   [Final Chorus] So, I’ll sing for the broken, the brave and the true Raise a melody higher than the wounds we knew  Let the rhythm be shelter, the harmony heal We can change the world if we dare to feel Reach for the light, reach for the light Together we rise, together we fight—with love   [Outro]  “Can you hear me? I’m still here…” With love… We reach for the light for more information about KYLIE WILLOW visit https://www.kyliewillowofficialsite.com/   Support us on PayPal!

"PELICAN PILL" TITLED TRACK NEW SINGLE BY PELICAN PILL ROCK RAYMOND PRODUCTIONS © Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Pelican Pill is a sonic pilgrimage—where classic rock’s spiritual backbone meets the raw pulse of modern rebellion. Born from the ashes of forgotten dreams and the wings of restless visionaries, the band crafts anthems that soar, sting, and heal. Their debut single, “Feather and Flame,” channels the urgency of Kansas with a leaner, punchier frame—tight harmonies, thunderous riffs, and lyrics that wrestle with redemption, flight, and fire. It’s not nostalgia—it’s resurrection. Fronted by a voice that sounds like it’s lived a thousand lifetimes and backed by a rhythm section that hits like prophecy, Pelican Pill doesn’t just play music—they deliver medicine for the soul. Each track is a dose of truth wrapped in melody, a pill for the dreamers, the wanderers, and the ones who refuse to fall quietly. Whether on stage or in the studio, Pelican Pill is a band that believes in the power of myth, melody, and motion. Their sound is cinematic, their message timeless, and their journey just beginning. lyrics:   Woke up in the shadow of a silver tide  Dreams like anchors, pulling from the other side  Wings clipped by the weight of the world I knew  But the sky keeps calling, breaking through    (Pre-Chorus)  I’ve been lost in the echo of a long goodbye  Now I’m chasing the fire in a pelican’s cry    (Chorus)  Feather and flame, I rise again  Burning the past like a medicine  Truth in the wind, soul on the run  Pelican Pill, I’m not done    (Verse 2)  Ghosts of glory whisper through the canyon walls  Every fall’s a lesson, every rise recalls  I’ve seen the light bend, I’ve felt the sting  But I won’t trade flight for anything    (Pre-Chorus)  I’ve been bound by the silence of a stormy sky  Now I’m riding the thunder, wings held high    (Chorus)  Feather and flame, I rise again  Burning the past like a medicine  Truth in the wind, soul on the run  Pelican Pill, I’m not done    (Bridge)  Let the waves crash, let the stars spin  I’ll find my way where the edge begins  No more waiting, no more chains  I’m the echo that remains    (Final Chorus)  Feather and flame, I rise again  Burning the past like a medicine  Truth in the wind, soul on the run  Pelican Pill, I’ve just begun    Support us on PayPal!

Welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends brought to you by my new novel ‘The Liberty Code”, available at book baby, amazon and on audiobook at barnesandnoble.com.  Annie Haslam  and Jim McCarty will be sharing an intimate discussion and visual presentation for the band history of  Renaissance followed by a Renaissance performance featuring, for the first time, members of both eras of the band performing their classic songs together. Renaissance had their farewell tour last October 2024 and did not expect to perform live again. Annie, who’s been at the forefront of the group’s story for 50 years, recently was approached by an Edwardsville/St Louis promoter to return to the Wildey Theatre for a ‘one woman” show! After much deliberation, the idea grew into something bigger when Annie contacted Jim McCarty to be a part of the show and then return to the full Renaissance lineup, the band he, initially, co-founded. A once in a lifetime event of Symphonic Rock at its finest! "All Renaissance and McCarty fans are invited to experience our coming full circle," Annie says enthusiastically, “that was destined to happen one day!"  PLEASE WELCOME TWO MUSIC LEGENDS…  Two of my favorite people ….Jim McCarty of Renaissance, Box of Frogs and original drummer and founding member of  The Yardbirds and Annie Haslam legendary songstress of symphonic rock’s Renaissance to Interviewing the Legends.   FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JIM McCARTY AND ANNIE HASLAM Visit www.jamesmccarty.com Jim McCarty Official website https://www.theyardbirds.com/ The Yardbirds Official site https://www.facebook.com/jim.mccarty.9/ Jim McCarty Facebook www.jamesmccarty.com/my-new-book-is-now-available/ Jim McCarty Author https://anniehaslam.com/annies-welcome-page/ Annie Haslam Official Website https://renaissancetouring.com/ Renaissance Official Website www.facebook.com/RenaissanceTouring Facebook www.twitter.com/MysticAndMuse Twitter www.youtube.com/user/RenaissanceTouring YouTube   SHOW SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 21 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=672 Saturday, Nov. 22 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=673 Friday, Nov. 28  The Newton Theatre, Newton, NJ https://skypac.org/the-history-of-renaissance/ Saturday, Nov. 29 Lansdowne Theatre, Lansdowne, PA http://www.etix.com/ticket/p/81373625/the-history-of-renaissance-featuring-annie-haslam-and-jim-mccarty-lansdowne-lansdowne-theate   THE YARDBIRDS DISCOGRAPHY Five Live Yardbirds (1964, UK) For Your Love (1965, US) Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds (1965, US) Yardbirds (aka Roger the Engineer) (1966, UK) Over Under Sideways Down (1966, US) Little Games (1967, US) Birdland (2003)   BOX OF FROGS Box of Frogs (1984) Strange Land (1986) STAIRWAY Aquamarine (1987) Moonstone (1988) Chakra Dance (1989) Medicine Dance (1992) Raindreaming (1995)   JIM McCARTY SOLO Jim McCarty has released three solo albums: Out of the Dark (1994)  Sitting on the Top of Time (2009) Walking in the Wild Land (2018)  He has also released live and compilation albums  Jim McCarty & Friends (2011)  and Frontman (2014)   RENAISSANCE DISCOGRAPHY Studio albums Year  Title 1969 Renaissance 1971  Illusion 1972  Prologue 1973  Ashes Are Burning 1974  Turn of the Cards 1975  Scheherazade and Other Stories 1977  Novella 1978  A Song for All Seasons 1979  Azure d'Or 1981  Camera Camera 1983  Time-Line 2001 Tuscany 2013 Grandine il vento Live albums Year  Title  Chart positions   Comments 1976  Live at Carnegie Hall 2002 In the Land of the Rising Sun: Live in Japan 2001 2011  Renaissance Tour 2011 – Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade & Other Stories Live in Concert (DVD and double CD set) 2016 Renaissance 2012 (recorded April 16, 2015) – Renaissance Live at the Union Chapel (DVD and digital only audio set) 2016 Renaissance Live at the BBC Sight & Sound (DVD and 3-CD set) ―      ―      ―          Contains radio/television broadcasts of three live concerts, one each from the years 1975-77.

KYLIE WILLOW releases new single "Gasoline Summer" for upcoming album Rock Raymond Productions Inc. CAPSHA RECORDS © Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved. LYRICS:   We were wildfire kids with nowhere to be  Cheap tattoos and ripped-up jeans Living off diner coffee and nicotine dreams  Chasing the moon in a rusted machine We swore we'd never slow down  Hearts like thunder, breaking out of this town It was a gasoline summer, burning too fast Laughing at danger, flipping off the past We were young, we were reckless, we were beautifully wrong  Screaming our names in a runaway song Stolen nights on motel floors Writing our names on bathroom doors Every scar was a badge, every kiss was a war  We were gods in disguise, begging for more No maps, no mercy, just the open road Living like legends no one ever told It was a gasoline summer, burning too fast  Laughing at danger, flipping off the past We were young, we were reckless, we were beautifully wrong Screaming our names in a runaway song Now the echoes fade in the rearview light But I still feel the fire when I close my eyes We were chaos, we were grace  We were everything time can't erase Gasoline summer, still burns in my chest A love like a car crash, a beautiful mess We were young, we were reckless, we were never alone Screaming our names in a runaway song   For more information about Kylie Willow Visit https://www.kyliewillowofficialsite.com/     Support us on PayPal!

"THE WORLD'S A STAGE, WITH NO ENCORE" SUNG BY KYLIE WILLOW rockraymond productions © Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Lyrics:   Verse 1  I wake to sirens in my spine,  Coffee cold, dreams in decline.  Rent’s a prayer I whisper thin,  While the world spins gold for someone else's sin.    Pre-Chorus  I wear my rage like a velvet coat,  Stitched with silence, stitched with smoke.  They sell salvation in neon light,  But I’ve got bruises that don’t feel right.    Chorus  Concrete veins,  Running through my skin.  I smile like a weapon,  Just to fit in.  This city feeds  On what I won’t show—  But I bleed in rhythm  They’ll never know.    Verse 2  My phone’s a mirror I can’t escape,  Scrolling through lives I’ll never shape.  They say “be grateful,” they say “be kind,”  But kindness don’t pay when you’re losing your mind.    Bridge  I scream in lowercase,  Cry in code.  My heart’s a glitch  In their perfect mold.  I’m not broken—  I’m just awake.  And that’s a risk they’ll never take.    Final Chorus  Concrete veins,  Running through my skin.  I smile like a weapon,  Just to fit in.  This world’s a stage  With no encore—  But I’ll burn the script  And write much more.

LYRICS: Isn't life strange? A turn of the page Can read like before Can we ask for more? Each day passes by How hard man will try? The sea will not wait You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back, there you were and here we are Isn't love strange?

Velora Nyx in full cosmic glory the Centauri siren has taken the stage, shimmering with myth and menace. The opalescent skin, bi-colored eyes, and stardust gown all radiate that Shirley Bassey-style drama, but with a galactic twist. She’s not just singing—she’s transmitting rebellion through every note. LYRICS:   (Verse 1)  She walks the line where shadows burn  A name erased, a fate returned  The signal hums beneath the skin  The Liberty Code—it pulls her in    (Pre-Chorus)  Truth is a weapon, silence a blade  She’s the echo of choices we never made    (Chorus)  Code of the brave, written in fire  She’s the storm they couldn’t wire  One woman, one myth, one final vow  The world will kneel—but not her now  Code of the brave… and she won’t cave    (Bridge)  Eyes like thunder, heart like steel  She’s the secret they couldn’t conceal  From Centauri moons to shattered skies  She’s the reason the truth survives    (Outro – whispered)  Liberty… isn’t given.  It’s taken.

"If I Could Find Her Again" Debut Single by Cody Wilder CapSha Priductions © Copyrightcapshaproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Lyrics: (Verse 1)  She left in the silence between two sighs  No slammed door, no bitter goodbyes  Just a note on the table, a tear in the ink  Now I’m drowning in memories too heavy to sink    (Pre-Chorus)  I replay our laughter like old movie scenes  But the reel keeps breaking at shattered dreams    (Chorus)  If I could find her again, I’d rewrite the past  Hold her like sunrise and make the moment last  Tell her the truth I was too scared to say  That she was my always, not just my someday    (Verse 2)  I walk through the places we used to roam  Each echo reminds me I’m here alone  I see her in strangers, I hear her in songs  And wonder if she’s wondering what went wrong    (Bridge)  I’d trade every promise I failed to keep  For one more night where she falls asleep  Beside me, believing I’d never let go  But I blinked—and she vanished like snow    (Chorus)  If I could find her again, I’d rewrite the past  Hold her like sunrise and make the moment last  Tell her the truth I was too scared to say  That she was my always, not just my someday  Support us on PayPal!

"She Dreams of Champagne" By  Frankie Delano – The Gentleman Phantom CapSha Productions © Copyrightcapshaproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Frankie Delano was born with a voice dipped in bourbon and a soul stitched from midnight silk. Raised on the backstreets of Hoboken, he learned charm from card sharks and rhythm from the clatter of subway trains. By nineteen, he was singing in Navy clubs across the Pacific, crooning torch songs to homesick sailors and winning poker games with nothing but a wink. After the war, Frankie disappeared into Havana’s golden haze, rumored to have romanced a duchess, outplayed a Cuban trumpeter in a midnight duel, and recorded a lost album that only plays under moonlight. When he resurfaced in Manhattan, he was no longer just a singer—he was a legend in cufflinks. Known for his signature martini (three olives, stirred with regret), Frankie never stayed in one city too long. He’d light up a lounge, break a few hearts, and vanish before sunrise. His voice carried the ache of old love and the swagger of someone who’d seen too much and still smiled. He never chased fame—it followed him like perfume. And though no one knows where he is now, some say if you walk past a velvet curtain and hear a low hum in the dark… Frankie Delano might be singing just for you. LYRICS: I glide through the night in a tailored disguise  Cufflinks gleam like stars in her eyes  A whisper of jazz in the back of my brain  I’m not chasing hearts—I’m taming the flame    (Pre-Chorus)  She asked for the moon, I poured her champagne  Said love’s just a gamble, I play through the pain    (Chorus)  Velvet in my veins, silver in my smile  I dance with temptation, then vanish in style  No strings, no regrets, just a kiss in the rain  I’m the echo she hears when she dreams of champagne    (Verse 2)  My past wears a tux and a crooked grin  Every sin’s a story I’ve tucked within  I don’t beg for mercy, I don’t plead for grace  But I’ll steal your breath with a glance to your face    (Bridge)  I’m the shadow that lingers in candlelight  The toast you forget but remember at night  She said I’m a riddle, I said I’m a rhyme  A gentleman thief with impeccable time    (Chorus)  Velvet in my veins, silver in my smile  I dance with temptation, then vanish in style  No strings, no regrets, just a kiss in the rain  I’m the echo she hears when she dreams of champagne  Support us on PayPal!

"Twenty-Something Ghosts" By Kylie Willow Shasho and The Captain Productions © Copyright shashoandthecaptainproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Lyrics:   Twenty-Something Ghosts (Verse 1)  I wake up in a room I don’t remember  Scrolling through a life I never chose  Dreams I had at seventeen feel distant  Now I’m chasing paychecks just to cope    (Pre-Chorus)  They said it gets better, but they never said when  I’m tired of pretending I’m fine again    (Chorus)  We’re twenty-something ghosts  Haunting the halls of who we used to be  Wearing smiles like armor  In a war we fight silently  We’re not broken, just bending  In a world that won’t slow  Trying to find meaning  In the mess we call home    (Verse 2)  I text “I’m okay” with shaky fingers  Delete the truth before I hit send  I laugh at memes about depression  Like it’s easier to joke than mend    (Pre-Chorus)  They said “just be grateful,” but I’m drowning in doubt  I’m screaming inside, but the volume’s turned down    (Chorus)  We’re twenty-something ghosts  Haunting the halls of who we used to be  Wearing smiles like armor  In a war we fight silently  We’re not broken, just bending  In a world that won’t slow  Trying to find meaning  In the mess we call home    (Bridge)  But maybe there’s beauty in falling apart  In finding your voice in the dark  Maybe the cracks are where light gets in  And healing begins    (Final Chorus)  We’re twenty-something ghosts  But we’re learning to breathe  To turn pain into poetry  And scars into peace  We’re not broken, just bending  And we’re not alone  We’re finding our meaning  In the mess we call home    Support us on PayPal!

"STILL STANDING IN THE RAIN" MUSIC VIDEO BY SLEEPGATE FROM SHASHO AND THE CAPTAIN PRODUCTIONS © Copyright shashoandthecaptainproductions.com All Rights Reserved. Born from thunder and baptized in distortion, SleepGate is a genre-defying rock force that channels the raw pulse of rebellion, resilience, and revelation. Formed in the shadow of a world unraveling, the band fuses cinematic storytelling with searing guitar work, haunting vocals, and lyrics that cut through the static of modern life. Their debut track, Still Standing In The Rain, is more than a song—it's a declaration. A sonic storm that refuses to break, SleepGate’s sound is forged from the ashes of classic rock, post-grunge grit, and progressive ambition. Think Pink Floyd meets Soundgarden in a lightning-lit dreamscape. SleepGate is the musical embodiment of The Liberty Code mythos—where every note is a battle cry, every chorus a coded message, and every silence a reckoning. With visuals as vivid as their sound, the band invites listeners into a world where sleep is rebellion, and waking up means facing the truth. SleepGate isn’t just a band. It’s a portal. Step through.   LYRICS:   I’ve walked through years that never felt like mine  Chased dreams that faded in the rearview sign  Watched lovers leave and friends drift away  But I’m still here, I’m still okay    (Pre-Chorus)  Every scar’s a story I survived  Every tear just proof I’m still alive    (Chorus)  I’m still standing in the rain  Let it wash away the pain  Lightning cracks, but I don’t run  I face the storm ‘til morning comes  I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised  But I’ve got nothing left to lose  I’m still standing in the rain  And I won’t fade away    (Verse 2)  I’ve heard the silence louder than the crowd  Felt invisible, but never bowed  Held onto hope like a fraying rope  And found my strength in letting go    (Pre-Chorus)  Every fall just taught me how to rise  Every loss became a new sunrise    (Chorus)  I’m still standing in the rain  Let it wash away the pain  Lightning cracks, but I don’t run  I face the storm ‘til morning comes  I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised  But I’ve got nothing left to lose  I’m still standing in the rain  And I won’t fade away    (Bridge – Guitar Solo)  [Soaring solo with echoes of Clapton and Gilmour]  Let the thunder roll, let the heavens cry  I’ll be the echo that never dies    (Final Chorus)  I’m still standing in the rain  Let it baptize me again  I’m not afraid of what I’ve seen  I wear my past like faded jeans  I’ve been shattered, I’ve been scarred  But I still play this old guitar  I’m still standing in the rain  And I won’t fade away    Support us on PayPal!

Music Video based on the novel 'The Liberty Code' by Ray Shasho "This Time, This Time" (soft version) sung by 'Luna' Shasho and The Captain Productions © Copyright shashoandthecaptainproductions.com All Rights Reserved. LYRICS [Verse 1]  Flash of light in the midnight haze  You crashed down, rewrote my days  They said the truth was buried deep  But you woke me from my sleep  [Pre-Chorus]  Now we’re running through the static  Dodging lies, it’s automatic  You’re the glitch in their control  The spark that makes me whole  [Chorus]  You’re the signal in the sky  Telling me we’re born to fly  No more silence, no more fear  The Liberty Code is crystal clear    [Post-Chorus]  Oh-oh, we’re breaking through  Oh-oh, rewriting truth  Oh-oh, the stars align  This time, this time  [Bridge]  They tried to erase us, tried to bend  But we’re the message they can’t end  From the ashes, we ignite  Liberty’s flame burning bright  ABOUT THE LIBERTY CODE: In a fractured America ruled by the authoritarian Commonwealth Party, freedom is a relic of the past. Democracy has crumbled, the media is silenced, and truth is a weapon. But one man, Sam Edwards, a decorated Marine veteran and journalist, holds the key to unlocking a future worth fighting for. The Liberty Code was meant to be fiction. But with the telepathic guidance of two extraterrestrial Centauri ambassadors, J-Rod and Naxia, it reveals a hidden reality more terrifying, and more hopeful, than anyone imagined. From the classified S4 facility near Area 51 to the ruins of suppressed democracies, Edwards uncovers a global conspiracy and the master plan to stop it. After J-Rod’s death, a mission begins to fulfill his vision: the permanent elimination of nuclear weapons, the revival of free societies, and the awakening of Earth's people to a galactic truth long denied. Covert military operations like Operation Yuma liberate nations, and a new chapter begins as Earth’s enemies are exposed and confronted. But power resists change. The Commonwealth's grip tightens. The Blackout Committee censors all dissent. Journalists vanish, AI manipulates public perception, and chaos reigns. Through it all, a secret force rises, the Liberty Regiment. Men and women who refuse to surrender, who carry the last ember of the American spirit. As the fight for Earth’s soul intensifies, Edwards, along with Naxia and trusted allies, embarks on an interstellar journey to Proxima Centauri b, determined to preserve the truth and document a future shaped by alien allies and human courage. The Liberty Code is more than a novel. It’s a battle cry, a love story, and a blueprint for redemption. The truth is no longer hidden. The war for Earth has already begun.
