" 'THE MONKEY AND THE LION' was awarded an honorable mention in our 2003 competition. Only a small percentage of the thousands of entries received are recognized with this award."
Chris DeCo, JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING CONTEST.

"This delightful release is a labor of love by an Indiana plumber named Monroe Alfrey, whose hobby is songwriting and whose inspiration is his toddler son, Simon. There's nothing amateurish, however, about Alfrey's vivid word pictures, humorous nonsense verses and soulful ballads, done in country, R&B and rock-oldie style."
