Folks, I feel like a proud papa. I am president of Deltona Arts and Historical Center which houses Deltona Records. Little Lissy began working with Frank Starchak music producer and recording engineer of Deltona Records when she was 5 years old.
Lissy is now 13. Mary and I listened to her latest CD which is the first release under her all-grown-up name, Felecity. “Felecity: Look At Me Now” is a great CD. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that several of the songs on Felecity’s CD were written by Adrian Sutton aka Adrian Tristan. Adrian is a multi-talented young man which we also mentored and developed at Deltona Records.
Adrian Sutton is music producer and recording engineer of our second in-house recording studio, Urban Soundz.
Adrian Sutton’s songs on the “Felecity: Look At Me Now” CD really showcases Felecity’s growth as an artist and soulful beyond her years vocals.
The “Felecity: Look At Me Now” CD entertains youths while delivering powerful positive messages; quite refreshing.
Yes, I feel like a proud papa. Congratulations Felecity and Adrian! I am extremely proud of you.
Hi Patriots. Please meet Tina Sims, a true patriot living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Tina wrote me the following note.
“I started PICKET ACROSS AMERICA because I am scared. I am a 47 year old female, unemployed for a year and a half. I am so angry I feel like I’m screaming on the inside. I love this great country and feel an overwhelming desire to defend her. I am asking every American Citizen of all political parties to stop what they are doing at 9am on Sept 17th; step outside and hold a picket sign that reads, “CAN YOU HEAR US NOW.” The idea is to line the streets of America.”
Upon reading Tina’s heartfelt note, I thought, “Her idea of patriots across America holding signs together is nice. However, the media will not cover our protest and it will not effect one bit of legislation in DC. So what would be the point? What difference will it make?”
Then I thought, “It will make a difference to Tina and other fellow patriots. Tina’s fear and frustration represents the feelings of millions. By holding a sign outside 9am, Sept.17th, we are sending a message to each other that we are all in this together. We have each others backs in solidarity fighting to save our country.”
In that regard, PICKET ACROSS AMERICA is a brilliant idea; inexpensive and a minimal time investment while sending a powerful message of unity. I LOVE it!
Tea party groups and organizations across America are responding to Tina’s call to action. She has made it extremely easy to participate. All you need is a sign.
As I said, the media probably will not care. But, this is not about the media. And, it will not directly effect the craziness going on in Washington DC. PICKET ACROSS AMERICA is about us, We The People, taking a moment to say we support each other.
In my travels attending over 200 tea parties nationwide including Alaska, I am blown away by you, the American people; your love for our great country and willingness to do your part to save her. You’re awesome and I love you.
So, I made a sign as Tina requested. September 17th at 9am, I am going to stand on the busiest intersection in my town and display it.
Patriots, please join us. Sign up for Tina’s picket line on Facebook at PICKET ACROSS AMERICA.
Our ultimate goal is to end the tyrannous reign of Barack Hussein Obama in 2012. The Obama media is relentless in their efforts to discourage and dishearten us. Staying encouraged, diligent and united in our efforts is crucial to our victory.
Let’s exhibit our solidarity. Let’s PICKET ACROSS AMERICA.
Singer, songwriter, artist and prolific writer Lloyd Marcus is quite unique and considered by some controversial.
Lloyd’s music career began at age 9 singing solos in an East Baltimore storefront church where his father was assistant pastor.
Since his early beginnings in a Baltimore government housing project, Lloyd has emerged as a world renowned highly respected voice of the Tea Party Movement. Lloyd is also internationally known for his various jazz recordings.
In his unique blend of music and narrative, Lloyd shares his life story revealing…
How he, a black man, came to marry a white woman.
Why he is a black conservative…
His former Alcoholism…
His views on race…
And more….
Get inside the minds of some of today’s most relevant actors, comedians, politicians, and pundits as each week we invite guests to play cards and talk shop. The poker winnings may go to charity, but the banter is a battle for the hearts and minds of America.
Starring: Tom Wilson, Lloyd Marcus, Bill Whittle, Nick Searcy and Joe Reinkemeyer.
The host of this show is Tom Wilson. You know him as Biff in the movie, Back To The Future.
In Eustis Florida, I had the great pleasure of warming up the crowd, speaking, entertaining and singing at a Tea Party rally in which Florida Governor Rick Scott debuted his 2011 Budget. It was a historic event solidifying the power and influence of the Tea Party Movement. It felt like a family reunion with Tea Party groups from all over Florida.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause in response to Gov. Scott’s plan to cut nearly five billion dollars from the budget. A reporter was surprised, “So, you people are OK with these cuts?” I replied, “Yes, patriots have told me they do not care if their “pet project” gets cut. We have got to get spending under control.”
Kudos to Gov Scott for having the courage to lead and “do the right thing”.
There is a great 50s movie titled, Abandon Ship! A luxury liner sinks leaving 27 survivors in a life boat designed for a capacity of nine. The captain dies leaving the executive officer in charge. Land is 1200 miles away. The new captain’s responsibility is to save as many lives as possible. Thus, he is forced to make extremely painful and devastatingly difficult decisions as to who is considered “dead weight.”
As a little boy, I marveled at the captain’s will, leadership and courage. Unlike liberal wimps, real men have the backbone to “do what needs to be done”.
True leadership is often a lonely endeavor requiring one to fly high above the status quo. Eagles fly alone.
While the consequences are nowhere near as severe as in the movie, Gov Chris Christie and Gov Rick Scott are displaying courageous responsible leadership by “doing what needs to be done”. Rest assured, no one will die or truly suffer from their budget cuts.
We Tea Party patriots truly appreciate them. God bless.

National Black Conservatives Rally to Take Back America The Tea Party Express, (website: http://www.TeaPartyExpress.org) one of the nation’s largest tea party organizations with over 400,000 members, is conducting a press conference regarding the unrelenting attacks on the tea party movement in an effort to dissuade Americans from rebelling at the ballot box in the November 2010 elections.
“From the very beginning when Rick Santelli’s famous on-air rant helped rally millions of Americans to the tea party movement, the establishment media and liberals across the country have tried to head off the growing citizen involvement in opposing the reckless spending in Washington and the growing intrusiveness of the federal government,” said Lloyd Marcus, Tea Party Express spokesperson and leader.
“First, they called us all Astro-turf and not real, but the crowds kept getting bigger. Then they said we were being paid by the Republican Party, which became obviously false as we took on establishment Republicans as well as Democrats. Then they tried to say we were all a bunch of nuts, but when millions of people kept coming, they couldn’t claim everyone was a nut. Now, they are trying to say that we are racist, which is yet another desperate fabrication. We are going to stand up and call on the Left to start sticking to the issues, and stop the name calling,” added Marcus.
“In light of the NAACP resolution accusing the millions of Americans who attend Tea Parties of embracing racists, the Tea Party Express is hosting a National Black Conservative Press Conference to speak out against all of the bogus, false and malicious charges leveled against the American people who have rallied to take their country back from the big spending and irresponsible and unconstitutional growth of the federal government. Apparently the NAACP and other groups are afraid to acknowledge the fact that the tea party welcomes people of all races, and is a much bigger and more diverse group than they’re willing to admit,” stated Marcus.
Black conservative leaders, organization spokespersons, authors, entertainers and activists from across America will gather in Washington DC to introduce themselves and their individual roles in fighting the good fight promoting conservative principles, values and patriotism within the tea party movement.
“As a black singer/songwriter performing my “America Tea Party Anthem” and traveling with Tea Party Express, I have attended over 200 tea parties across the U.S. The attendees are not racists. They are decent hard working Americans who love their country. Tea Party patriots oppose President Obama’s policies, not his skin color.”

all color and all religions to come together and end racism, as we work together

It was an incredible day! Singers/musicians from across America gathered together at Deltona Records in Florida to record my original song, “Taking Back America”.
AmericasMightyWarriors.org which assists families of U.S. fallen soldiers is beneficiary of the proceeds from the sale of the song and compilation CD. Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee who is the president and founder of AmericasMightyWarriors.org said she was extremely moved upon arriving at the recording studio seeing so many cars with license plates from all over the country.
The atmosphere in the studio was electric; a variety of bands, singers, songwriters and players representing numerous musical genres from rap to country and everything in between all meeting for the first time. And yet, several attendees commented how much the historic recording session felt like a family reunion. The common thread which bound us all together was love and a belief that America is the greatest nation on the planet; a desire to support our military and their families and a strong opposition to the Obama administration’s socialist agenda.

I began the recording session with a welcome and thanks for attending. Then, Rev. Walt Mentzer started us off with a beautiful prayer. I told the crowd I was grateful we were still free to pray in public.
But, what really set the mood and inspired the singers was Debbie Lee emotionally telling the compelling story about how her son, Marc Alan Lee lost his life in Iraq heroically saving the lives of his buddies. Marc was the first U.S. Navy Seal killed in Iraq.
While some fought back tears, the choir of 100 singers passionately and enthusiastically sang the choruses of “Taking Back America”. Then, we began recording individuals each singing a solo line of the verses, similar to the way the music community recorded “We Are The World” in the 80s. Those selected to sing coveted solo lines were band lead singers and singer/songwriters.
Everyone was moved by the feeling of unity and family in the room. Jeff Bruzzo of ProjectShiningCity.org captured the mood on video.
After we recorded the choruses, the choir was free to leave while we recorded the soloists in another room. The choir stayed and fellow-shipped.
Even though the number of bodies in the building challenged the capacity of the air conditioner to keep up, they all stayed, laughing and chatting with smiles everywhere. Friendships were formed, inspired ideas for action were birthed and collaborations were planned. Eighteen of them went to dinner and conversations continue well into the late evening.
Who were these guys? They were “We The People” musicians doing their part to restore and preserve our freedoms, liberty and culture. It was truly wonderful.
Wandering through the crowd, my ears caught snippets of their stories of businesses lost thanks to Obama. They talked about the specific Obama outrage which pushed them off of their sofas and caused them to pick up their guitar, start blogs, start radio shows and form organizations.
Along with the “Taking Back America” song which we sang together, the compilation, “Tea Are The World” CD will include original songs recorded and submitted by bands and solo artists from around our country.
Five time Emmy Award winning producer, Norvell Rose shot footage of the day’s activities for a “Making of “ documentary and a music video.
By the time, Frank Starchak, music producer/recording engineer had completed recording the last solo line of the song, I was physically and emotionally exhausted. With tears in her eyes, Debbie Lee gave me a huge hug and thanks. Debbie again commented on the warm feeling of family that permeated the atmosphere. From long haired white rockers to grandmas to black r&b singers to teenage rappers to seasoned music business professionals, the conduit was our love for America and a desire to support our troops.
I was truly grateful to God for pulling it all together.
A brief back story. I have attend over 200 tea parties across America on three Tea Party Express tours. In every state, musicians approached me with CDs of their original songs while expressing their desire to be a part of the incredible Tea Party Movement.
Several months ago, while on Tea Party Express II tour, I decided to write a song and record it “We Are The World” style with musicians from across America. But, who would be the beneficiary of our efforts?
Debbie Lee joined our team on Tea Party Express III tour. Between rallies, while riding on the tour bus, Debbie told me about her organization which supports the families of fallen soldiers and her challenges regarding funding.
Our conversation inspired a eureka moment. I thought, “That’s it”! All proceeds will benefit Debbie Lee’s organization, AmericasMightyWarriors.org.
The true hero of the day was my longtime friend and master music producer/recording engineer Frank Starchak. I later learned Frank awoke the day of the historic record session with a horrible tooth ache. In true American spirit, Frank fought through the pain and pleasantly recorded the mass choir and all of the solo singers.
Frank has also given tremendously to the project. Before recording the vocals, Frank has contributed 30 hours of music production free of charge. He is faced with the huge task of editing the vocals and mastering the over 30 songs which will be on the compilation CD. I would love to find an honorarium for Frank .
Folks, I say it again. The “Tea Are The World” recording session was an awesome day and a memorable rewarding experience for all in attendance. Stay tuned for the release of the “Tea Are The World” CD. It will feature our joined performance of “Taking Back America” and original songs by bands and individual artists across America. God bless.
(black) Unhyphenated American, Lloyd Marcus, Brings Tea Party Movement Singers/Musicians Together To Benefit Military Families.
Jan. 25, 1985, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie penned the song “We Are The World” and brought the music community together to record it to benefit Africa.
June 5, 2010, Lloyd Marcus has penned the song, “Take Back America” and is bringing Conservative singers/musicians across America together to record it. All proceeds will benefit the families of our fallen military (AmericasMigthyWarriors.org).
Along with the titled song, “Take Back America”, artists may submit songs to be included on the compilation CD. While artists retain all rights to their song and BMI royalties, all proceeds from sales of the CD album and the “Take Back America” song benefits AmericasMightyWarriors.org
An Emmy award winning video production company will document the historical recording session and produce a music video.
In Marcus’ own words… “In my travels across America on three national Tea Party Express tours, I have been bombarded with requests from musicians seeking to get involved in the Tea Party Movement.
While I offer them advice to advance their own individual pursuits, I thought it would be wonderful to bring them all together into a project symbolizing the unity of our incredible inspired Tea Party Movement.
Having toured with Gold Star Mom, Debbie Lee, president of Americas Mighty Warriors on the Tea Party Express III tour, I can think of no better beneficiary to receive all proceeds from the recording. Debbie Lee’s son, Marc Alan Lee was the first navy seal killed in Iraq.
My producer Frank Starchak and I have united hundreds of musicians in the past recording songs to benefit charities on three other occasions. Each session has been a wonderful experience for all the participants. Non professional singers are also welcome to come and join in the chorus. It will be a great historical day. God bless.” Lloyd Marcus
