One might think setting your own lyrics to a piano sonata by Ludwig Van Beethoven almost sacrilegious. However, Boston singer-songwriter Greg Cherone has a different point of view. “It was a lyrical place the music transported me to.” He says, of his variation recorded with piano virtuoso Nelson Araujo. “I don’t see what all the fuss is about. It’s just an interpretation. Some will appreciate. Others will dismiss. That’s entirely up to the listener.”If you would like to hear “Treasured Mem‘ries,” go to: http://myspace.com/gregcherone

July 22, 2009 by LollyAnn SaundersSinger-songwriter Greg Cherone has released an ode to his home state entitled, “Massachusetts is my Home.” Even with its exclusive regional title, Cherone insists the song’s home-sick theme is universal. “My belief is that the more intimate the sentiment, the more people who will relate to it.” He says. Co-written by his younger brother, Markus, who also played acoustic guitar, the tune has received a very positive response. Hundreds of listeners have already streamed the audio into their PC’s and laptops via the internet. Some of whom chose to leave many kind words.
