Please take a listen to my new album 'Lessons (Learned)'

Hey everyone, I just released my first solo record titled 'Lessons (Learned)' and would very much appreciate it if you took a listen to it, and if you like it, please buy it. For a measly $5 you get 5 mastered tracks, 1 bonus video of my song Highway 1 (acoustic) as well as printable cd packaging artwork and various photos I took throughout the recording session. Help a starving artist out :)

you can stream it for free and buy it here: http://mariodisandro.bandcamp.com

i was very fortunate to be able to give Ed and Glen my cd on their recent solo tour. for those of you who were outside with me after the Oakland shows know what i'm talking about (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=164846). the fact that Glen listened to it (back in Long Beach) and sang me back my lyrics when i met back up with him after the show in Oakland was one the craziest moments in my life. i asked him "you actually listened to it?", in which he replied in his thick Irish accent "ah fuck yea, we were jammin to it down the highway". i had to change my pants after that, haha. then the crucial moment of me handing the album (i had hand-assembled the artwork/packaging/cd right before the show) to Ed, and him asking "is this your music" and me just smiling and nodding yes, and then him responding a hush "right on" and nodding back. it was surreal. to give your most cherished work to your most admired hero and for him to accept it (whether he'll ever actually listen to it, or if he has, is not even important to me), is probably the best moment of my life. the fact that he was so kind about it made it truly special. we are so lucky to have this band!

so if you wouldn't mind giving it a spin, and if you do in fact like it, please go right ahead and buy it. i recently moved to the Bay Area (Oakland currently) from Chicago a couple months ago, so this is my only form of income currently as the job market out here is a little more bleak than i thought. even if you don't buy it, please let me know what you think of it. big thank you to SOLAT319 and RYEzupSF!

ps, you may also know me from such previous threads as 'me convincing Ed to release "My City of Ruins" thanks to Kat' ;)

happy listening,

    FUCK YEAH MARIO!

    Your album rocks! So proud of you man. I've had Fallen in my head all day. I love that song, so catchy. I love the line "Down a path unknown I'll stumble to my feet" Na na na na na na... I think we should shoot a video for it. 8-)

    Mario is an awesome guy, a great friend and a fantastic musician. Give it a listen and $5 if you got it. 5 great songs, artwork and video for the price of a beer. Can't go wrong!!

    Congrats Mario, the album sounds great.

    Fallen is my first favorite track! I never knew about you handing this off to Glen and Ed, that is a fucking awesome story and something to be very proud of.

    Excellent work my friend, you obviously worked very hard on it and it paid off!

    thank you so much, dcfaithful! it has definitely been a lot of hard work, even for just 5 songs. i just hope it catches someone's ear at the right moment. thanks for actually listening to it too!
