Hi Folks,

I've had people ask to hear the official JPF Theme Song. We wrote this to be performed at the end of each music awards show with all the nominees singing along each year. We don't have a recording of those performances (they're pretty free lanced with a lot of vamping and a long long jam at the end each time) but here's a simple 2+ minute simple rough demo that Harold Payne, Alan O'Day and myself put together with some nominees from 2002 singing along in the background. Someday we'll do a studio version, but this at least will give you an idea of how it goes. (Update: This is now an updated Demo with most instrument performance and mixing by Mike Caro)

We're All In This Together
Written By Alan O'Day, Harold Payne and Brian Austin Whitney

Here's the lyrics. They're always posted on the last page of the Music Awards Show Program so folks can sing along.

(JPF Theme Song)

Intro:

We're All In This Together
Bonded By A Common Groove

We Have A Gift We All Can Use
Born To Celebrate The Power Of The Muse
Locked Up In Our Studio Or Jammin' With The Band
Speakin' In One Language Everybody Understands

Chorus:

Cause We're All In This Together
Joined By The Words And The Music
Yes We're All In This Together
Walking In Each Others' Shoes
Bonded By A Common Groove

The Passion Burns And It Won't Let Go
People Try To Tell You That It's Only Rock & Roll
The Road'll Keep You Hungry But The Music Keeps You Whole
Singing For Your Supper Or Singing For Your Soul

Chorus

Bridge

Spotlight, It's Your Night
Standing On The Stage
Daylight, Tryin' To Write
But There's Nothing On The Page
They May Dim The Lights
But The Dreams Will Never Fade

Chorus

So there it is. I was lucky to be slumming with two of my musical heroes Multi Platinum Songwriter Harold Payne and 2 time Billboard #1 Songwriter and Artist Alan O'Day. = )
