“Today, we welcome a guitarist whose story feels almost too legendary to be real. Michael Hampton — the young phenom who walked into the Parliament‑Funkadelic galaxy at just seventeen and instantly became part of its gravitational pull. A Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, a torchbearer of the Mothership, and the man behind some of the most transcendent guitar moments in funk history.

From the cosmic chaos of the P‑Funk stage to the spiritual electricity of his ‘Maggot Brain’ performances, Hampton has always played like he’s channeling something bigger — something ancient, futuristic, and deeply human all at once.

Today, we dive into the journey of a quiet giant whose guitar has spoken louder than words for nearly five decades. Michael Hampton… welcome to the show.”

“Electric Psychedelic Guitar Fusion with a Funk Pulse That Never Stops Beating...

This record is a mesmerizing swirl of electric psychedelic guitar fusion, stitched together with the unmistakable funk DNA that made Hampton a pillar of the Parliament/Funkadelic universe. But what’s striking here is how personal the music feels. There’s no need for vocals; the guitar does all the speaking, testifying, and time traveling.”

“Today we’re joined by Grammy‑nominated guitarist, singer, and producer Rick Vito — a musician whose fingerprints are all over modern blues and rock. From his unforgettable era with Fleetwood Mac to his work with legends like Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Bob Seger, Rick has carved out a sound that’s equal parts soulful, sharp, and unmistakably his own. He’s a slide master, a storyteller, and a keeper of the blues flame. Rick Vito’s new album, Slidemaster, will be officially released on April 3rd.

Rick, it’s an honor to have you with us.”

“Today, we sit down with a guitarist whose journey has never followed the map — only the music. From the blue‑collar grit of Tesla to the wide‑open landscapes of his new instrumental album Reflections, Frank Hannon has spent four decades chasing tone, truth, and the kind of melodies that outlive trends. He’s a storyteller without needing words, a player who can move from a Les Paul roar to a country‑western whisper, and a man who’s learned as much from life’s storms as from its stages. Frank Hannon, it’s an honor to have you here — let’s talk about the roads that shaped you.”

"AUDREY'S LIGHT"

A HEARTWARMING TRIBUTE TO AUDREY HEPBURN

ROCK RAYMOND PRODUCTIONS INC.

CAPSHA RECORDS

“Audrey’s Light”

A Kylie Willow Original

LYRICS

Verse 1 

She walked like morning sunlight 

Soft steps on a crowded street 

A smile made of quiet thunder 

A grace the world could never teach 

She held her sorrow gently 

Like a secret folded tight 

But every room she entered 

Bloomed open to her light 

Chorus 

Audrey, you were stardust 

In a world that needed calm 

A heartbeat for the broken 

A hand to hold the lost 

From Tiffany’s to children’s cries 

You gave your soul away 

Gone too soon, but still you shine 

In every hopeful day 

Verse 2 

She wore kindness like a diamond 

Not for show, but for the truth 

A warrior wrapped in elegance 

A guardian of the youth 

Her eyes held ancient stories 

Of a world she tried to heal 

And though her time was fragile 

Her legacy is steel 

Chorus 

Audrey, you were stardust 

In a world that needed calm 

A heartbeat for the broken 

A hand to hold the lost 

From Tiffany’s to children’s cries 

You gave your soul away 

Gone too soon, but still you shine 

In every hopeful day 

Bridge 

And I whisper to the heavens 

When the night feels too unkind 

“Send a little Audrey magic 

To the corners of my mind” 

And somehow I feel lighter 

Like she’s walking by my side 

A gentle, timeless angel 

With a heart that never died 

Final Chorus 

Audrey, you were stardust 

And you’re still our guiding flame 

A melody of mercy 

A soft, eternal name 

Though sixty‑three was far too soon 

For wings to take their flight 

You live in every act of love 

Forever Audrey’s light

CAPSHA RECORDS

LYRICS:

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load

If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh (call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

GOODBYE TO NUMBER 8

A TRIBUTE TO CAL RIPKEN

LYRICS:

 “Goodbye to Number 8”

— Lyrics for Kylie Willow

Verse 1

Dad woke me up before sunrise,

said “Kid, today you’ll understand.” 

Baltimore was glowing like a lantern in his hands.

We walked through Camden Yards,

the sky painted in Orioles orange and fate,

And he whispered like a prayer,

“This is the last time we’ll see Number 8.”

Pre‑Chorus

I didn’t know the weight of legends,

But I knew the weight of his shaking voice.

Heroes teach you how to stand tall,

But fathers teach you how to choose that choice.

Chorus

And we cried when the Iron Man took his final bow,

Two slow tears rolling like the rain coming down.

Dad’s hero became my hero, in that moment at the gate,

When baseball said goodbye… goodbye to Number 8.

Oh, I held his hand so tight that day,

As we said goodbye to Number 8.

Verse 2

He told me how Ripken showed the world what showing up can mean,

How 2,130 days became a promise kept, not just a streak.

The crowd rose like a single heartbeat,

A city standing tall and brave,

And Dad said, “Remember this,

 Kylie… greatness isn’t something you chase — it’s something you give away.”

Pre‑Chorus

I watched his eyes shine like stadium lights,

Saw the boy he used to be.

And in that roar of Baltimore,

He passed his hero down to me.

Chorus

And we cried when the Iron Man took his final bow,

Two slow tears rolling like the rain coming down.

Dad’s hero became my hero, in that moment at the gate,

When baseball said goodbye… goodbye to Number 8.

Oh, I held his hand so tight that day,

As we said goodbye to Number 8.

Bridge

Years later when I’m lost, I hear that crowd again,

Hear Dad whisper, “Show up, kid… that’s how you win.” 

And I swear I feel Camden Yards beneath my feet,

The echo of a legend, the echo of his heartbeat.

Final Chorus

Yeah, we cried when the Iron Man took his final bow,

But those tears became the fire that still guides me now.

’Cause the heroes we inherit shape the ones we create,

And I became who I am…

The day we said goodbye to Number 8.

Oh, Dad, I’m still holding your hand that day,

When we said goodbye…

Goodbye to Number 8.

'When The World Hears The Song'

Original songwriting

Rock Raymond Productions Inc.

© Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved.

CAPSHA RECORDS

Lyrics:

Verse 1

There’s a man with a guitar on a quiet French road,

Singing soft to the wild ones nobody can hold.

And the wolves and the horses walk right to his side,

 Like they’re hearing a truth they’ve been missing inside.

No words in between them, just a breath and a chord,

And the fear melts away like it’s never been born.

Makes you wonder if maybe we’ve had it all wrong —

Maybe peace isn’t spoken, maybe peace is a song.

Chorus

’Cause when the world hears the song,

 Every heart beats along.

Doesn’t matter where you’re from,

We all know where we belong.

 In the rhythm of love,

 In the quiet of dawn,

We remember we’re one

When the world hears the song.

Verse 2

I’ve seen strangers turn gentle when a melody plays,

Seen the hardest of hearts start to soften and sway.

Every tear, every smile, every soul in the crowd

Finds a piece of themselves in the rise and the sound.

And the wars that we fight, all the lines that we draw,

Disappear for a moment when the music takes hold.

If a lion can listen, if a sparrow can trust,

Maybe someday the world will learn that from us.

Chorus

’Cause when the world hears the song,

Every heart beats along.

Doesn’t matter where you’re from,

We all know where we belong.

In the rhythm of love, In the quiet of dawn,

We remember we’re one

When the world hears the song.

Bridge

Maybe peace isn’t loud, maybe peace isn’t grand,

Maybe peace is a whisper in the palm of your hand.

Maybe all that we need is a voice and a chord —

A reminder of something we’ve forgotten before.

Final Chorus

When the world hears the song,

Every heart beats along.

And the walls that we build

Start to crumble and fall.

In the rhythm of love,

We remember we’re strong —

We remember we’re one

When the world hears the song.

“Glass Wings Over Liverpool” — Original Lyrics for Kylie Willow

Rock Raymond Productions Inc.

© Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved.

CAPSHA RECORDS

Verse 1

I walked the streets where your shadow bends,

 Past the ghosts of songs you never penned.

There’s a whisper caught in the Mersey tide,

Saying love is real if we stay wide‑eyed.

And the sky turns green like a painted truth,

While the world keeps spinning on your missing youth.

Pre‑Chorus

And I swear I hear you humming

Through the cracks in every dawn—

A melody becoming

All the places you’ve gone.

Chorus

Glass wings over Liverpool,

 Shining where the broken heal.

You taught us how to dream out loud,

How to turn the pain we feel

 Into something bright and beautiful

— A song the world can still believe.

And I’m singing it for you tonight,

So you can finally breathe.

Verse 2

There’s a boy with round‑frame glasses on,

Strumming chords of a half‑remembered song.

He says, “Tell the truth, even when it stings,”

And the rooftops answer back with silver rings.

I see peace signs drawn in the evening rain,

 Like the world still trying to spell your name.

Pre‑Chorus

And the colors start to shimmer

 Like a dream you left behind

— A message growing clearer

 In the corners of my mind.

Chorus

Glass wings over Liverpool,

Shining where the broken heal.

You taught us how to dream out loud,

How to turn the pain we feel

Into something bright and beautiful

— A song the world can still believe.

 And I’m singing it for you tonight,

So you can finally breathe.

Final Chorus (Soft, devastating)

Glass wings over Liverpool,

 Carrying the light you gave.

And though the world keeps changing shape,

Your echo still behaves

John, I hear you in the quiet

— A truth I’m still learning to hold.

 Like a heartbeat in the silence,

Like a prayer that never leaves.

I’m singing it for you tonight

 So you can finally breathe.

LYRICS:

Take my hand
Take my hand

Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (we're off to never-never land)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (we're off to never-never land)

Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (take my hand)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake (grain of sand)
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard (oh)
It's just the beasts under your bed (oh)
In your closet, in your head

Hush, little baby, don't say a word (oh)
And never mind that noise you heard (oh)
It's just the beasts under your bed (oh)
In your closet, in your head

Hush, little baby, don't say a word (oh)
And never mind that noise you heard (oh)
It's just the beasts under your bed (oh)
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

"THE LIGHT"

'DISTURBED' COVER SONG

Songwriters: David Draiman / Mike Wengren / Dan Donegan / Kevin Churko

ROCK RAYMOND PRODUCTIONS INC.

© Copyright rockraymondproductions.com All Rights Reserved.

CAPSHA RECORDS

LYRICS:

Like an unsung melody

The truth is waiting there for you to find it

It's not a blight, but a remedy

A clear reminder of how it began

Deep inside your memory

You turned away as you struggled to find it

You heard it call as you walked away

A voice of calm from within the silence

And for what seemed an eternity

You waited, hoping it would call out again

You heard the shadow beckoning

Then your fear seemed to keep you blinded

You held your guard as you walked away

When you think all (all) is forsaken

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

An unforgivable tragedy

The answer isn't where you think you'd find it

Prepare yourself for a reckoning

For when your world seems to crumble again

Don't be afraid, don't turn away

You're the one who can redefine it

Don't let hope become a memory

Let the shadow permeate your mind and

Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away

So that the door can be opened again

Within your darkest memories

Lies the answer if you dare to find it

Don't let hope become a memory

When you think all (all) is forsaken

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

Sickening, weakening

Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul

You need strengthening, toughening

It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you

Ignite the fire within you

When you think all (all) is forsaken

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

Don't ignore

Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)

You need never feel broken again

Sometimes, darkness can show you the light
