Arthur Godfrey :: Award Winning Songwriter and Musician

I am the son of a Boston firefighter. I grew up in the city during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Life has been good to me. I have been given second and third chances and I know it. My own ‘road less traveled’ has led me to a very reflective place, a ‘turn-around’ where I could write about the awareness of my own frailty and prejudice. The songs on “Broken Wings” took birth in that place.

The songwriting on the “Broken Wings” record addresses my walk through some of life’s most difficult trials: Race, Religion, War, Family, the Homeless, the Impaired, Death and Self. After listening, I hope you understand that for me, the jury came back with one verdict for all, ‘acceptance.’
