Biography:
Stephen SWARTZ is a percussionist, kalimbaist, toyist and vocalist who was raised in New Orleans and Shreveport, Louisiana. Stephen started playing Hugh Tracy treble kalimba in high school. He fell in love with it and wondered why it should not become as universally known/popular as the harmonica. Stephen made it his mission to promulgate this little wooden "melodic magical metal" keyed instrument. He attended the eighth international percussion symposium at North Texas State Univ.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my favorite song by Stephen so I figured I'd try to create some chords for it since there weren't any.

Em G C (x2)
Em G C
A-ll alone
Em G C
Solid as a stone
[Verse 1]
Am C G
Leave me on the high rise

Let me watch the time fly

All my problems fall off

Looking at the rooftop
Am Em*
If I could write the end
Am Em*
Then I could write the rest

You're afraid to climb this high
Am Bm C
But we're made to fall a trillion times

Solid as a stone
Em Fmaj7 Am G
Falling down, I found a home
Em G C
Solid as a stone

Am C G
Up here there were no lies
C
Just another skyline
Am G
My city's just a small light

Can't believe I lost sight

If we can take the fall
Am Em*
Then we can have it all
[Bridge]

And I said
Em G C
A-ll alone
Em G C
Solid as a stone
Em Fmaj7 Am G
Falling down, I found a home
Em G C Em
Solid as a stone
