Description

Paul & the Tall Trees - So LongPaul Schalda is a poet, perhaps a bit of a tortured soul, a hopeless romantic, and a guy from Staten Island. That last bit might not make sense to people who aren't from New York. Let's say that it puts the blue in his collar and sticks his feet to the ground. Paul's music seems to embody the unexpected overlap of The Band's Americana, Ian MacKaye's unhinged emotion, Otis Redding's raw soul, and the doo wop melodies his father, Bill Schalda Sr. (a

Paul Schalda is a poet, perhaps a bit of a tortured soul, a hopeless romantic, and a guy from Staten Island. That last bit might not make sense to people who aren't from New York. Let's say that it puts the blue in his collar and sticks his feet to the ground. Paul's music seems to embody the unexpected overlap of The Band's Americana, Ian MacKaye's unhinged emotion, Otis Redding's raw soul, and the doo-wop melodies his father, Bill Schalda Sr. (a member of Brooklyn vocal group, The Montereys) raised him on. His sophomore album is produced by long time collaborator and old friend Tommy Brenneck and Big Crown's own Leon Michels. For the people who are already fans of Paul's debut Our Love In Light, the growth and maturity will be impossible to miss. So Long reads and feels like you snuck in his room and read his journal. Deeply personal and heartfelt, he takes on a variety of topics in the songs, the common thread being the vulnerability and passion he delivers them with. The opener "Although We Cry" is perhaps a perfect example what makes Paul's music so unique. He finds a way to cut right to the bone, entirely emotional and simultaneously emotionless..." Although we cry, we are not meant to be". The title track "Then We'll Wave (So Long)" puts Paul amongst the great storytellers of song; tension, misdirection, and irony all play a part in taking one of the most sung about topics in life; love, and putting a brand new twist on it. Paul spent some years out on the road playing guitar in The Extraordi- naires backing the late great Charles Bradley where they became close friends. During that time he penned a few songs for Charles, one of which he wound up recording himself. That song, "Beware" showcases another side of P&TTT's range, a gritty, driving, warning tune where the band has a chance to get funky. One thing you hear in Schalda's music, no matter which song, is that the road hasn't been easy. His voice can be hauntingly harsh, yet hopeful and tender, raucous and gravelly one moment, smooth and intimate the next. Even though he is being compared to the famous groups and musicians mentioned above, he can only call it Rock and Roll and be humbled. "I'm very lucky to be able to do this," Schalda says. "And I'm extremely happy. Especially for my father. He worked hard for his sons and this record."

Love this Greek Goddess Statue!
Size: Gallery
Very pleased with this piece! In my opinion it is reasonably priced and worth every penny! Arrived on time and securely packaged. Placed Venus of Arles in a niche in the entryway of our home, she fits perfectly with our decor and definitely makes a statement! So glad that we made this purchase.

Poor quality and does not match photos
Size: Gallery, Size: Gallery
Exceedingly poor quality and does not match the photos depicted the finish is very poor and shows paint bubbles and zero attention to detail. The casting is also subpar compared to others that are available many parts of the resin blended together and were a terrible looking in comparison to the images provided.

Decent quality, but not as described.
Size: Grande
Well when it eventually arrived (promised twice but only shipped on the third promise date). The quality was not as expected. It looks like molded plastic, not the "resin and crushed stone" in the description. I have two lions made by the same supplier and they ARE made of resin and crushed stone, and look like real stone. This statue looks like smooth molded plastic and does not look like $325 yard statue! On the whole we decided to keep it, and it adds a nice enough feature in the yard, but would not order from this manufacturer again. One other thing to note is that in the sales description and replies to questions it states it is suitable for outdoors. However they include a leaflet in the box once you have received it that states its not for outdoors year round... t heir way of creating a get out clause shod you have issues by using it outdoors...so inconsistent advice before and after you buy it!!!

Nice Piece of Art for Decoration
Size: Gallery
This statue looks great in the living room. The sunlight really makes it pop. It is heavy enough that our cat did not knock it over when rubbing on it. Since it only seems to take interest in expensive looking things, I took it as a compliment. And it is true, this piece looks fantastic. The only give away is that when you touch it, it doesn't "feel" expensive. But people (or animals) shouldn't be touching it anyway, so that isn't a problem for me!
