Staten Island resident, Guy Michetti http://www.guymichetti.com has completed his first extended play cd of original music (4 songs, including the title song, "I'm Coming Home").

Michetti had been in the middle of a full-length cd entitled "A New York City Life" when he wrote this tale of a young soldier returning from the war. "It's not at all political, just a story about a young man happy to be back with his girl and waiting for his buddies to get back safely. I gave my wife a rough cd to listen to. She played it in the car and had to pull into a parking lot. She was crying when she called me. She said 'Drop what you're working on and finish this song NOW.'"

The song has traveled the globe through the internet. "I found that a lot of the people contacting me were veterans or active duty personnel. It's very rewarding to see that happen."

The four-song ep takes off "like a ton of bricks" with the title song. This rousing rock number tells the tale of a soldier heading back to the USA after doing his time in Iraq. The song has been in the top three position on mp3.com’s Staten Island region chart for the two weeks it's been available for download. (http://www.mp3.com/guymichetti)

Guy exhibits his range with the touching Can't You See The Lonely," the exuberant rock rhythm of "No Fancy Cars," and the tender love song, "You're My Home."

Michetti will donate all profits from the ep, after production costs, to Disabled American Veterans. http://www.dav.org The disc jacket will encourage purchasers to make their own contribution to the organization.

The release date for the extended play "single" is October 6, 2003. The full cd, "A New York City Life" is back in production and will be ready for distribution later this year.

The musician is proud of the fact that it all happened on "the Island."

"I shopped around for a long time for a recording studio. I went as far as Philadelphia. I had the music written and recorded on my home equipment but I needed the perfect environment to produce a professional cd that I could be proud of." He found that fit at Moon Studios (http://www.moon-studios.net), 20 minutes away in Rosebank.

"The first time I worked with Henry Falco, I knew that HE knew what I wanted." That successful alliance led Michetti to the decision to "go local." While the creative juices were flowing at Moon Studios, Westerleigh Press was handling the business cards and other printing needs, Miggy's was making the heros that kept the band playing, and Michetti was previewing his music at The Muddy Cup Cafe.

Guy Michetti began his musical career the day his Grandmother Gelsomina arrived in New York with a guitar for her first grandson. Fortunately for music lovers, he never put it down. He has been playing to enthusiastic audiences - Rock and Roll to Jazz, live and in the studio - ever since. Guy studied classical and jazz musical performance at Temple University in Philadelphia. He traveled extensively around the United States and Canada in the '80's as the youngest member of Rock and Roll's famed Bill Haley's Comets. His career has included sharing the stage with legendary jazz pioneer Dizzy Gillespie and having folk artist Arlo Guthrie join him on stage at a concert in Florida.

Guy's full CD, A New York City Life, has earned high praise from his fellow musician/story tellers. He applies his talent to a folk rock style that carries the lyrics straight to the heart of the listener. His musical poetry exhibits both the raw energy of Springsteen and the smart reverie of James Taylor.
