The Songs That Move Us...
Are The Right Songs...
At The Right Time...

Introducing Testing the Water...14 Original Songs of Love and Experience by Songwriter Greg Hyde.

Dear Friend,
If you regularly seek out smart, independent music,
If you like honest songwriting and passionate performances,
If you think music shouldn't be just blues, folk or rock n'roll,
If you listen to remember, to celebrate, or to love...
I'd like you to hear Testing the Water.

Testing the Water is life at its most tender, passionate and sometimes painful - written and performed by songwriter Greg Hyde.

It's music for being alone...or with another person -
music for the early morning...or for late night drives.

Get Ready to Remember, Celebrate and Love. . .

If your idea of great music is a little different from what you hear on the radio today - songwriting that's intelligent and expressive -sweet, sexy, smart - and not just radio-friendly but listener-friendly too - if you're looking for deeply personal music that has the power to really move you -

Testing the Water is for you.

The 14 songs on Testing the Water are catchy, but not in the way you think. You'll be tapping your feet one moment ...singing along the next ... moved to quiet reflection with one song...deeply moved with another.

The words and music stay with you, both the thoughtful, sometimes poignant lyrics and the simple-but perfect
acoustic accompaniment. And best of all, you'll have
discovered original songwriting that makes honest sense of the true passions and real disappointments we all see in life.

Have You Ever Wanted to Tell Someone How You Feel?
Talk Things Over or Yes, Yes, Yes will get you in the state of mind.

Have You Ever Been in Love? You're in luck. Listen to Doodly Toot Toot, Luscious, or You Are My Sunrise Today and you'll know why love is so right.

Have You Ever Found Yourself Going Back? Try Young Summer Nights and Football Hero..for the bittersweet memories that follow us through life.

Discover These Rare and Wonderful Songs For Yourself - Now!

You already know the power of the right song at the right time. If you're ready to be moved by original songwriting that's achingly personal yet personal to your life, try Testing the Water. (And be sure to check out track 13 for one of the most gripping ballads of the year.)

Testing the Water is available to music lovers as a limited release - so don't miss out!

Go Ahead. Test the Water Today.
You'll Be Glad You Did.

On February 20-23 2004, participated in an International Songwriters retreat in Big Sur sponsored by Brett Perkins Listening Room International Songwriter Retreats and Concert Series (Brett you might want to shorten that name a bit) and it was so inspiring and a huge rush for me. Met some amazingly talented singer/songwriters from around the world. Check out:

We did a concert Saturday night at the intimate, redwood house-in-the-forest, Henry Miller Library in Big Sur thanks to Magnus Toren, another acoustic "rock star" and had a magical night. http://www.henrymiller.org

October 10, 2004 - my wife and I went to Maine to see the fall leaves. We hit it at the right time. What color! I've never seen such beautiful forests. Pictures are on display at http://www.printroom.com/pro/aaammm The gallery is called "Fall Into Maine"

Jan 8, 2005 - was the "Artist of the Day" at Whole Wheat Radio in Alaska. All throughout the day they played one of my songs from the CD each hour. What a kick! Listeners gave feedback throughout the show via email and rated the songs. Got several "Excellent" and "Favorite" ratings. If you are a songwriter and have a CD send them your work. If they like it they'll make you the Artist of the Day. http://www.wholewheatradio.com/

Jan 25, 2005 - had a second "live" show on local KNRY 1240 AM radio. Brought along some other musician friends and my buddy Mark Gurley. We played our stuff and had some laughs. Live AM radio does not have reverb! Be warned.
