Bio

Hello, I am a Singer-songwriter living in Athol, Ma but grew up in Maynard, Ma. Cd’s can be purchased at https://scottalansavoy.bandcamp.com/ . I have been playing guitar since I was 7 when my folks bought me a BlackJack acoustic guitar. Took lessons from the local barber for a short time then taught myself. My first music memories were riding in the station wagon with the family listening to classic country music on AM radio out of Waltham, Ma. We had a beautiful Victrola in the room across my bedroom so I would listen to Big Band records and Elvis Presley songs. In my teen years I spent a lot of time listening to Styx, Led Zep and Punk rock from the late 70’s early 80’s…My statement I suppose! I enjoy writing and playing and have been doing so since 1975. It is therapy for the soul! I am fortunate enough to live in a community with a lot of wonderful business owners who understand that local music and local business go hand in hand. Without these local owners local musicians would not have an outlet for their music. I gig pretty much every week playing covers of many genres and adding an original or 2 in. My events schedule can be found on the events page on this website. I hope you enjoy my songs. Remember, It’s Okay to feel all emotion

TIME TO GO (DARLENE’S SONG) ©2024 SCOTT ALAN SAVOY

WHEN THE LEAVES FALL
IN THE AUTUMN
I WILL BE GONE FOREVER
I CAN’T STAY LONG
PLEASE DON’T HANG ON
JUST MOVE ON WITH LIVIN

SOME PEOPLE CRY
SOME JUST WONDER WHY
BUT IT AIN’T FOR US TO KNOW
IT’S FUNNY, THIS LIFE
YOU SEEM TO JUST GET IT RIGHT
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
IT’S TIME TO GO

WHEN THE FIRST SNOWFLAKES
FALL TO YOUR FACE
THE FAMILIAR TASTE OF MY KISSES
WILL TOUCH YOUR LIPS
IN THAT MOMENT
YOU WILL KNOW THAT
I’M STILL WITH YOU


SOME PEOPLE CRY
SOME JUST WONDER WHY
BUT IT AIN’T FOR US TO KNOW
IT’S FUNNY, THIS LIFE
YOU SEEM TO JUST GET IT RIGHT
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
IT’S TIME TO GO
