Synopsis

Album Description

A CD filled with unabashedly romantic songs for gay men. Songs that chronicle a very personal quest for gay romance as sung and performed by Jerry Styner. The album opens with "One For The Boys" - a celebration of the emotions surrounding the awakening of young love. As often happens, the journey starts out in a questionable direction, seeking acceptance and love in the arms of "The Perfect Stranger." Suddenly, it seems that Mr. Right has arrived with the simple greeting, "Hello There." But all is lost when Mr. Right just as suddenly disappears "When Love Goes Wrong." In "Good Morning, Morning," the hurt turns to despair as it appears that love is gone for good. Then, from out of the "Shadows" comes the abstract realization that we are never alone. We heed the music of twilight and venture out for another look. But "How Do You Find A Lover?" This time we're going to analyze it and get it right! Thinking it through, we know the answer must come from the heart. Then, in an instant, all doubt is dissolved. This one?s for real, and "From The First Moment I Saw You" I knew it would last. This is the way it feels when love is perfect. This is "Living With Love In My Life." Looking back, we recognize a few truths. Love, like all of life has to be intuitive. For love to sing its song in your heart, "You've Got To Have The Music." Ultimately, young love is a state of mind that only applies to one time - right now! "These Are The Good Times!"

CD Reviews

One For The Boys

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In Jerry Styner's "One For The Boys", he has given us all a precious gift of music and sentiment. While particularly targeting the gay community, the music and lyrics transcend sexual preference, speaking to the hearts and minds of us all as we cope with the vicissitudes of life."

Patience Is Its Own Reward

"Finally!... An album of love songs targeted at the gay life-style that isn't either so high-camp it's embarrassing to listen to, or so maudlin-sweet you need a dose of insulin between tracks. Each song rings true in both lyric and musical content and the instrumentation supporting Jerry Styner's voice is lush without being overpowering. All-in-all this is by far the best album of its genre offered today. More, Mr. Styner... MORE!"

"My thanks to Jerry Styner for producing this CD. I was glad to purchase the item, but I must report that I found it disappointing. I might have been expecting too much but I found that I don't like the songs, too slow for my taste, even for romatic ballads. And, the material seemed dated. Maybe that's what the producer was going for, but I could have heard this stuff in 1955. It really didn't sound "gay" to me either, if that makes any sense. I don't want to discourage anyone from buying the CD and I think it would help if potential buyers could hear some of the album via their computers. It may be available now, but I didn't have a chance to listen to any of the songs before I bought the CD. Anyway good luck to Jerry Styner, at least he made the effort."
