Guitar Pieces by Jim Tozier



from the artist... For many of us, music is indelibly woven into the fabric of our lives. Many of our most memorable moments are linked inextricably to song; the music becomes a personal soundtrack to our lives. There are literally hundreds of songs that take me back into the past every time I hear them, because those songs have become associated with specific times in my life and with specific memories. Some of them are obvious: everyone remembers the song that was playing during that first kiss ( The Boys of Summer by Don Henley), or that first dance together as husband and wife ( With This Dance, a song I wrote for the occasion). Those are easy. But there are other songs that will just as surely take you back to more ordinary moments like the time you and a friend put baseball cards in your bicycle spokes ( Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits); or the summer when you first jumped off the high dive ( The Stroke by Billy Squier); or the night you spent alone in the park, lying on your back and looking up in wonder at the stars ( Ten Years Gone by Led Zeppelin). In much the same way, the songs I write are more than music to me they represent pieces of my life. Most of the songs on this album were inspired by my family s decision to leave Maryland (where we d spent almost our entire lives) and move to Georgia. In a span of just three months, we had a new baby and a new home, in a new town and a new state. With all that change, there was bound to be plenty of inspiration and plenty of music. These songs reflect pieces of that new life and because instrumental guitar music is my voice for that inspiration, I give you... Guitar Pieces.
