    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.”

Singer-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.
