The simplicity on this song makes it brilliant 

Added this to my playlist - Best of the Best

Wonderful songwriting and performance, with great production. Has a warm, optimistic vibe.

Jon, Yer bass is well-played [of course], ingenious, and has a great tone.

A pleasure to collaborate with these amazing folks and be part of this brilliant online music community.
Thank you all:):):)  x

Five Feathers (Remix)

I would like to introduce my son, Joseph, who indulged his dad and did a fabulous job of filling out the end of this short tune with some wonderful guitar soloing on the outro. Even though he has only been playing for a few years, he is miles ahead of where I was at his age as a musician. I couldn't be prouder, and I know that my dad is looking down and smiling, as he played piano and wrote music. I hope this is the first of many!  
May we present:  As an example.

As an Example

on your mark

get ready to

cannonball

into the blue



after swimming

sparkle all around you

catch the sound

breakers breaking



stop the boat

get ready to

pick a spot

to slip into



after swimming

as the sunlight bakes you

summer sips

on a sand dune



after swimming

after swimming

come swimming

Amusing Dates - Improvised Piano Piece

Smooth Sailing

Esta canción está basada en un riff de bajo que hizo mi hijo Adrián. En principio su destino era la banda que teníamos "Eléctrica Azul" y se ensayó pero no llego a generarse completamente. La retomé y compuse toda la instrumental. En cuanto a las voces, éstas son samples de uso gratuito que he generado para que se acoplaran bien al tempo y melodía de la canción. 
Para las guitarras he usado mi Duesenberg Palomo Red Sparkle.
Resto de instumentos con plugins. 
Daw: Cubase 14 Pro.
Masterizado con Izotope Ozone 11 Standard.
Gracias por escuchar.

In English:
This song is based on a bass riff my son Adrián wrote. It was originally intended for our band, "Eléctrica Azul," and it was rehearsed but never fully produced. I reworked it and composed the entire instrumental. As for the vocals, these are free samples I generated to fit the song's tempo and melody.
For the guitars, I used my Duesenberg Paloma Red Sparkle.
The rest of the instruments are plugins.
Daw: Cubase 14 Pro.
Mastered with Izotope Ozone 11 Standard.
Thanks for listening.

It was a real pleasure collaborating with Jon on this..... Upon first listening to the track he sent me, i was really drawn in by the beautiful sound of the descending guitar chords and flowing bass line. 
Jon creates fantastic songs, has a great ear, and plays a whole bunch of different instruments really really well.. Have a listen here: https://soundcloud.com/jon-lock-5
