The Music

The years are 1987 through 1988. Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and Glam "Hair" Bands were in high gear. Some of the more popular groups of the time were Bon Jovi, White Snake, Def Lepard and Guns'N Roses just to name a few. In Miami, Florida a group of guys with regular day jobs between the ages of 18-24 got together to create music and fun experiences enjoying life as friends. More details to come later

The Bubble Gum Song
2008-08-01 04:05:00
The music we created with Mystix, Red Rum and other band/musicians where Deniz Kose was the lead singer, always was in the Rock Genre. Some of the songs would be classified as hard rock, but not metal. The musical style specifically of many of the Mystix songs could be compared to a Bon Jovi, Poison etc. As you listen to the songs on this blog, you will find one song that is a little different whi

The Warehouse
2008-07-31 07:02:00
Mystix practiced in a studio in Miami about twice a week. The problem was that we didn't have much money, therefore it was getting too expensive for us to continue to pay for practice time in a studio. Deniz came up with an idea to rent a warehouse, where you could live in the space, pay rent, and then we could practice as much as we want. Deniz found a warehouse near Miami Springs, and negotiated

The Story Behind the Love Song "Oh Tammy"

I remember being in an apartment near Miami Beach on a Saturday night. Some of the members of Mystix were there: Laurence “Lead Guitar”, Leo “Drummer” and Deniz “Lead Singer”. The evening started at 6pm and ended early morning in some night club. There were people going in and out of the apartment that night; guys and girls between the ages of 18 & 24. Deniz knew most of the p

Really, Julio Iglesias and Elton John?

Each week Mystix tried to scrape up enough money to practice in a music recording studio for a couple of hours. We would all chip in money equally. When we could afford it, we would practice in the studio sometimes twice a week and/or extended hours. The cost back then was about $60 an hour. There were 5 of us at the time, Deniz, Laurence, Leo, Rich and me. At the end of each practice, I would go

One of my favorite short stories is the "Roads of Destiny " by O'Henry."I go to seek on many roadsWhat is to be.True heart and strong, with love to light--Will they not bear me in the fightTo order, shun or wield or mouldMy Destiny?"My road of destiny began in the winter of 1987 in Miami Springs, Florida.

Lawrence - Past & Present
2008-08-24 23:54:00
I am starting to string together the past and the present. In an earlier blog entry, I mentioned I was unable to locate a photo of Lawrence , the lead guitar player of Mystix. I lost touch with Lawrence about 18 years ago. It was a very exciting moment when I received an email from Lawrence today after he discovered this blog on the internet. We spoke on the phone and caught up on what is going on

Red Rum
2008-08-21 22:56:00
I lived 6 months in southern California then I moved to Florida. More specifically I lived in the town of Palmdale before it was built up. The year was 1986 and you could see desert all around. There were Joshua trees off to the side in the desert when you drove the lonely road between Palmdale and Lancaster. Joshua trees originally came from Israel. I used to have a big poster of U2's album "

August 1987 - Red Rum had recorded it's first song, "Conquerin Man". In October, I had solicited a coworker, Lynn, to finance our second recording. Mark wrote the music; and we used the lyrics I had written back in 1986. The song was called "Please Wait". I drew up a contract and gave it to Lynn to sign; Lynn in turn gave me a check to pay for the studio time and song recording. Lynn and her husb
