New Material released
"Bermuda Twist", written in 1980 by Mike G. Murphy has finally been completed at WM Studios in Arizona. The song has been described as being Power, Funk, folk. Quite a compliment! People over over the world have responded favorably to the song on Internet streaming.
The song briefly is about a person being upset by all the problems the world has on a daily basis to get along and coping with the drama. The rest is up to interpretation. Ironic, how the lyrics work today as they did in 1980 when the song was written.

Review By, Rich Brydle Manager/Guitarist Cold Shott and the Hurricane Horns

To the Man of (not so) Misplaced Destiny:

Let me just start with this: WOW.

The songs are well-crafted, as I’ve always known. They stand-up and say
‘take notice’.

The production and back-up (recoding, instrumentation and background
vocals) are crisp, clear,
clean and meaningful/purposeful for each tune. Not over-done. Conveys
the emotions
and attitudes. A demo? Maybe. But maybe more! Your tunes were put in
good hands.

You should be very proud to have your vision presented this perfectly.

Your family should forever delight in the fact that you are so gifted.

With these 2 tunes having a child-like theme, it immediately struck me
that
you should continue the theme……….yes, the demo has a theme. I envision
a
children’s/youth collection of tunes. You just proved you can do that!

The songs are presented is such a deliberately positive way that I hear
the following
artists at their best/peak of their career:

• Harry Chapin
• Cat Stevens

Dude, seriously, I’m a bit choked up that I got to hear this CD!!
Seriously.
I’m really happy! And I know you’ve got a lot more to share!

Way proud, I am.

Rich

Double Dip, written by Mike G. Murphy and Merry Citoli is a happy-go-lucky sing-along style song that makes people dance. The song is also fashioned to attract advertisers to create an ad campaign for a well known flavor ice cream.

New Play Toy, written exclusively by Mike G. Murphy, is a song about the innocence of children and the interaction with loving and caring adults. The simplicity of enjoying quality time together and experiencing and appreciating gifts that bring joy to one another is the idea of this tune.
