" Crossing Lives " the first album of The low Budget Men .The group was created in 2008 for charitable purposes by cardiologist Claude Mariottini whose desire was to reacquaint himself

with his rock music roots. The doctor , fan of the Kinks with his natural songwriting talent composes simple texts revealing his generosity and humanity in eleven

partially-autobiographical texts inspired by his professional experiences.

With its varied styles of music " Crossing Lives " is a catchy album both by the quality

of the texts and interpretations , a rock creation celebrating life with an unshakeable

optimism   " One an One " ,   " Before it's Over " ,   " Shining Day " .

The group members  Marc Piola Caselli - Lead Guitar , Stephane Mirc - Bass Guitar ,

Eric Chabaud - Drums ,  and guests Paul Casey  " Slide "  Guitarist who has worked with

Chris Rea , Doreen Chanter - Backing Singer who has worked with Joe Cocker ,

Rogers Waters , .................. not forgetting the very much regretted Gérard Rinaldi who sings

in the chorus of  " On A Sunny Afternoon "  have obviously taken great

pleasure in arranging  Claude's song with long musical intermissions " Crossing Dreams " ,  

" The Key "  with contrasting atmospheres

depending on the theme of the

song written by their leader .
