"I always light a candle on the anniversary of his death on December 8th.
I wrote "Peace (For John Lennon)" in memory of the great John Lennon".

"I never got to met him but I always felt that he was like a friend to me through his music.
John changed the way that world was by being himself and standing up for what he believed in.
His music was melodic and the words were always thought provoking".

"Peace (For John Lennon)" is an instrumental rock/fusion song. This is on my new album "The Source". I use some mandolin on the song also".

Lyrics & Music by James L. Murrell
Album: The Source

"Tonight" is a folk/rock/samba/bluegrass/fusion protest song! It is on my new album "The Source". It features the mandolin a lot as the main chordal instrument & has a cool fusion guitar solo in it.

"I started playing the mandolin about 2 years ago. After learning some basics on the instrument, I wrote the chords to "Tonight" on the mandolin. The lyrics came from thinking about what is going on with the world around me recently. We could make changes to this world to make it a better place if we only try".
