From the shared broken dreams of a carnival rover and the emotionally shattered Joanne in the title song, "Ride Ferris Wheel Ride", to reflections of a troubled adolescence in a small southern town in "Screaming", this compilation of 14 original songs by singer-songwriter Ron Taylor is like an anthology of well crafted short stories with one common thread; the tragic theme of human frailty. Ron’€™s lyrics paint a vivid portrait of obsession and persuasion in the California vineyard setting of “€œIt’€™s High Time Melissa”€ and hit with power and heartbreak in the haunting “Back and Forth”€ , a tale of righteous vengeance amid a backdrop of Mid-Western wheat fields. "Having been a fine artist for many years, my painting style has been portrayed as realism with attention to detail and texture. My songwriting allows me to use a different "canvas" to create images and tell my stories. The origins and destinations surprise even me".
