My association with Phil Gallo goes back to 1999 when we both worked on the music scoring for Phil’s hard hitting film, “West New York”. The feature starred Frank Vincent and Vincent Pastore, veteran actors from Martin Scorcese’s “Goodfellas” and “The Sopranos”. We connected musically again in 2004 for the score of “Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe”. Throughout both projects we kept discussing writing and performing together in a non-film genre.
Last summer we decided to finally begin composing, then recording a collection of songs that we both enjoyed. Slowly the recording, tentatively titled “The Mike Phil Project”, began to take shape. After about seven months of work, the album was completed. We are both very proud of the results.
The album titled, “Fear and Love”
was taken from the title track
and the 'recording band' was dubbed
Dez Manku.

For over a century, the Alamo has been celebrated in art , prose, film, theater and music. Especially music...
Since the mid-19th century, tunesmiths, musicians and vocalists have created memorable compositions about the Shrine of Texas Liberty. However, few artists have performed songs about the Alamo in the Alamo.
During the last several years, several members of the Alamo Society have had the honor of performing original songs about the famous mission fortress inside the Alamo (due to the kindness of Lee White, and Tim and Betty Andersen).
On "At The Alamo", Mike Boldt (guitar and vocal), Bill Chemerka (bass and vocal), and Tony Pasqua (guitar, piano and vocal) perform the songs they played during ceremonies hosted by the Alamo Defenders Descendants Association.
"We Remember the Alamo" vocal/ Bill Chemerka
Written by Alamo Society founder Bill Chemerka, this song expresses concern about those who have forgotten the meaning of the famous 1836 seige and battle. "We Remember the Alamo" was performed by Chemerka and Tony Pasqua at the Alamo on March 1, 2003 during the ADDA ceremony.
"Memory of the Alamo" vocal/ Tony Pasqua
Written by Michael Boldt, Tony Pasqua and William Pasqua, this tune reinforces the idea that the Alamo can never be forgotten. " Memory of the Alamo" was performed by Michael Boldt and Tony Pasqua at the first Alamo Defenders Descendants Association (ADDA) ceremony on March 5, 1995. The song was performed again by Tony Pasqua and Bill Chemerka at the March 6, 2004 ADDA ceremony.
"I Am With My Friends" vocal/Tony Pasqua
Written by Michael J. Martin, this song reflects David Crockett's feeling about being in Texas in a letter he wrote to his daughter in January 1836. "I Am With My Friends" was originally performed by K.R. Woods and his band, accompanied by Chemerka and Pasqua at the Alamo on March 6, 2004 at the ADDA ceremony.
Bonus Track:
"Soldier" / vocal: Mike Boldt
Written by Tony Pasqua and Mike Boldt. The men of the Alamo were not professional soldiers, but when it was time, they were willing to make a stand for what they believed in. " Soldier " pays tribute to those who crossed the line then,and those who continue to do so today.
