I had written enough material for a 2nd "Strange Syrkus" album, but alas, it was never to meant to be, so i put the master on the shelf for that one and labeled it "Leftovers".  This seems like a good place to let a few of those songs see the light of day.  The ones here are actually some of my favorite "Sarge" compositions.

Juliet (Stransky/Taylor)  One of my most ambitious songs ever.  I play the part of the story teller on this song.

Together by the Sea  (Stransky/Taylor) Again the story teller.  It's a Waltz tempo and may be the best story i've done to date.

(The saga of) Freddy and Betty (Stransky/Taylor)  And again the story teller.  Here is the most fun story to date.

The Lonely One (Stransky) For years i thought it just wasn't good enough for Roy, but i have since decided that it is good enough for me and i think that Roy would have smiled if he had heard it..

Seasons (Stransky/Taylor)  Another study in life's stories.

Drive Me Crazy (Stransky) A fun work product, there was no actual girl driving me crazy, just a fun tune.

Modern Man  ((Stransky/Taylor) Here I pose the question...

World Problems (Stransky/Taylor) Again, i am wondering "What if"

I know the Heartache (Stransky/Taylor)  A classic Heartache of Love song

Somewhere out there (Stransky/Taylor)  Lies the truth.

  Unconditional Love (Stransky) says it all.

 Choices  (Stransky/Taylor)  1998

Maturity (Stransky)  - From an album that never happened, i was going to call Requiem for an Altruist... 14 years later Maturity is really bugging me!

Wasteful Fires (Stransky)  - This is pretty old, but i can't remember when i wrote it.  Definite "Byrds" influence.

Figures of Authority (Stransky)  A good try at the hard rockin' story song.  Nice guitar solo by Mark Black!
