Ode to Anthony

Ode To Anthony is more than just a band, it is a story. A story that each and every person can relate to in some way, or at some point in their own lives. You see Ode To Anthony is great music, yes, but the band is also a reminder of the people that you encounter in your life.

As the story goes . . .

Back a few years there was a man, whom we will call Anthony, and there was a woman, whom we will call Charity, that met each other, she fell in love, and eventually they moved in together. They lived together for a year or so. Through the unemployment, through the wasted time spent on the couch, and even through the drugs Anthony was doing, Charity pushed on, working and supporting the two of them.

And then there were three. Charity found out she was pregnant.

Soon after, early one morning, she picked up the phone and called her brother Bobby. Stuttering through tears she told him what had happened. When she told Anthony that she was with child he became furious and kicked her out of the house. She had nowhere to go except back to her family, so that is where she went.

Now? This day? Charity and the baby are doing well, with the support of Bobby and the rest of her family.

Anthony, on the other hand, spends his days staring at the walls of a prison cell.

So when you listen to the music of Ode To Anthony, sit back, enjoy, and remember the people that have affected you throughout your life. Whether it is the Bobbys that come through for you when you need them, the Charitys that have the strength that drive you on, or even the Anthonys that remind you we all should learn from our mistakes, don't forget them. You know them all for a reason.

So here it is, the music and the feeling that is for you, me, and everyone in between. An ode to the entire human race...
