“VOCAL SONGWRITER SHOWCASE
May 16, 2011
Bill Kaffenberger, originally from Northern Virginia, commenced the evening’s festivities with MAYBE BY THEN, influenced by Gene Clark of the Byrds, which plaintively stated “She’ll know, she was meant for me.” This was followed with a wistful tribute to his Dad, simply titled DAD. The minor key SHE'S SO REAL was next with the frank admission “Love that’s deeper than the deep blue sea". The Byrds influence continued through LONESOME RIDER and the closer WHAT AM I DOING HERE, where the subject seems to be caught between inertia and isolation. "Sitting on my hands" and lamenting "No one listens to an outsider like me" and the killer "Beauty came from deep within his pain."
Bill’s songs come from his love of Philadelphia Soul and the aforementioned Byrds . The songs seem to spring forth in chains of images. An excellent guitarist and singer to boot.”
