<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hello,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just wanted to let you know that my new single "It Just Is " is being recorded. Mark O'Keefe and I have completed the basic tracks. I am happy to announce that keyboardist Bob Tiefenwerth ( United States of Existence, BLAMMO and Trio Nova) is on board to provide keys. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">"It Just Is" A happy pop song? Then you listen further and realize it's pretty dark." It Just Is" is about my subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke which I experienced in 2014. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Look for it this summer. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Much peace and happiness – and as always, thank you so much for the support. </span></div>

Includes Stereo and Mono mix and a digital download card.<br />
If you send me an email with "I Really Like You" in the subject line , I will send you a free single- Yes! Free! United States shipping address only. If Worldwide?-Let's talk. Limited Time Only- since I only have a handful of these blue vinyl singles left.<br />
I also have a :<br />
paypal.me/garyschwartzmusic<br />
Send me some gifts so that I can stop spending so much of my own $ to do my projects.<br />
<br />
Speaking of projects, I am working on my new tune "It Just Is". For real- It's only taken a few years to start the tune. "It Just Is" reflects my experience of having a Subarachnoid Hemorrhagic stroke...whoa!<br />
<br />
Many have asked if I am ever going to play live... Probably NOT. If I can sound like my recordings ,I would do it in a heart beat- unfortunately, I am not in a position to hire a band that can dedicate the time I need to capture the sound I want live. So for now, studio magic only.<br />
<br />
Take care - Be kind and remember-Peace and Happiness Always!

<span style="background: white; color: #404040; font-size: 13.5pt;">I am starting the process of creating my next
single (solely in my head) which will be called <b>“It Just Is"</b>. Ummm, I kind of
like, Solely In My Head. I’ll need to incorporate that in somehow. <b>“It Just Is”</b>
was thought of soon after I experienced a Hemorrhagic Stroke on 10/24/14.
"IJI” won’t be available until Late, Late, Later this year. </span><u1:p></u1:p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

First... I would like to apologize for the delay with my new tune "<b> Love Halloween</b>". Unfortunately I suffered a <b>Hemorrhagic Stroke </b>on 10/24/2014, Once bleeding of the brain was detected, I landed in Los Angeles - ICU for 10 days. Numerous angiograms determined that allowing the bleeding to stop on it's own was the best scenario for my situation.<br />
<br />
I am happy to report that it appears - so far - that I have made a full recovery with no noticeable residual - negative side effects. Thank goodness...ICU was directly across from the <b>Scientology </b>complex in Los Angeles??? I am grateful to all the staff, doctors, nurses and technicians for helping me get to this healing point. And I can't forget family,friends and fans for all their love and support. Thank you so very much. Before the stroke...BS...I completed the drums/percussion for the new Mark O'Keefe tune " <b>Drop Dead</b>"- which has nothing to do with Halloween, Look for that release to drop sometime right after <b>12/25/2014</b>.<br />
<br />
So... on to my belated Halloween song.... once vocals are complete, hopefully by Christmas, I will send out an announcement of its release. I will make it available for free through Bandcamp but will accept donations.<br />
Remember, supporting Independent Artist's continues to be "Where It's At!<br />
Peace and Happiness.<br />

Wanted to let you know that I am working on a new tune "<b>Halloween Love</b>" that I am hoping to have available by Halloween. It is a very bare and stripped tune with acoustic guitar and voice only. Macabre! It will be a freebie. I'll keep you posted.<br />
I am also working on the - <i>soon to be r</i><i>eleased</i> - tune by <b>Mark O'Keefe </b> called DD = "<b>Drop Dead</b>".<br />
Thanks for all your support.<br />

Gary Schwartz – former drummer for “The United States of Existence” and “The Jigsaw Seen” has a new, actually older piece, titled “Oh My God” which was recently re-mastered and is now being offered officially for the very first time.<br />
<br />
“Oh My God”, composed and recorded many years back, was performed and manipulated solely on a now considered “archaic” Roland Keyboard Workstation. This piece which started out as an improvisation, soon turned into a “somewhat” planned piece, once additional tracks were laid on top of the improvised ones. Simply put, it is a planned/ accidental piece.<br />
<br />
“Oh My God” which I am very fond of, captures many of the musical styles I admire, e.g., experimental, avant garde, progressive rock, rock and even classical. Realizing that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I hope that you will remain open minded, finding enjoyment one section at a time.<br />
<br />
The last section of “Oh My God” (the final bombardment) hosts a cacophony of sounds. Launched by taking “random snippets” from throughout the piece and allowing them to land and direct themselves.<br />
<br />
Listening through headphones enhances the listening experience.</div>

"What's So Special About Christmas?" was released on 11-22-2011. It was the first solo release by Gary Schwartz and features Gary's brother, Frank Schwartz, on all string instruments, including the mandolin. Folky Rock with a sarcastic, yet serious, look at the holiday season. Leave the Fakes Behind!<br />

Reviews are in:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">First, prepare yourself... outside of the feel-good melodies and musicianship from Gary and his brother Frank Schwartz, this is not a warm & fuzzy holiday tune. It speaks to a darker side, and timely in light of the recent revelations of the skeletons in the Catholic Church's closet. It speaks also to the contradictions of the church and the loss of the true meaning of the holiday. It wraps up wishing you to have a merry one while discarding it's misguided commercialism, encouraging you to "leave the fakes behind..." - rediscovering the true meaning of Christmas! Well now, it is warm and fuzzy after all :) by moveoverjones</span><br />

get to the true meaning of Christmas, but it manages to sweeten its harshest
sarcasm with its bouncy folk pop melody. Rejecting the pre-packaged
seasonal wrappings, Gary's song concludes:</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
