How We Used To Be

connection

Have you ever gotten a little funked up going to a gas/petrol station? 

JonD and I came up with the chord progression and groove.
I am playing the guitar and via my wind controller the tenor sax.
Band-in-a-Box is supplying the remaining tracks.

Going To Get Gas

A really smooth, jazzy number with a touch of Ska percussions.  An unusual but nice combination. Features Jazz guitar on lead.

V1
I can't tell who I'm talking to
All I know is that you're not here
It would be a different time
It could just be I've imagined it
Little seeds of truth
Might hold me here again
I know it could be true
You & I 
Were something once.   

C1
Just say the word
All it takes is you
To say the words you could not say
So you showed me that there was no way
Spoken truly
Spoken clearly
Spoken voluntarily
That is all it takes
All it takes to end the day.

V2
Our future was so long ago
And I know you were unwilling
It was such a different time
It was not as I'd imagined it
Little seeds of doubt
Shifted you each tiny bit
I know that it was true
You & I 
Were something once.   

C2
Just say the word
All it took was you
To say the words I would not say
Show me that there was no way
Spoken truly
Spoken clearly
Spoken so carefully
That is all it takes
Takes to say go away.
 
solo 

C3
Just say the words
All it took from you
You spoke the words I would not say
And showed me that I held no sway
Spoken bluntly
Spoken slowly
Spoken so deliberately
Even as you shook
Makes it all yesterday.

V3
Our futures were so far apart
I know you saw the truth
While I hoped for  more time
It clearly wasn't meant to be
Little seeds without
Tenderness don't sprout
Yet of this I have no doubt
You & I 
Were something once.  

C4
Just say the word
All it took was two
To bring a stop to what was not
To show me what I've not forgotten
Spoken truly
And sincerely
Though it cost dearly
That is all it takes
Takes to say a last goodbye.

Just Say The Word

78rpm Disc 182: Frank Lee's Tara Ceilidhe Band: The Cork Hornpipe

This week's 78rpm disc features a go at the well-known hornpipe, The Cork (aka the Harvest Home) by Frank Lee's Tara Ceilidhe Band. The tune's setting here has a lovely turn of phrase in the seventh measure of each section, and the arrangement takes time to feature solo vibraphone and saxophone. Hold on to the end to hear a flourish of vibraphone to close out the recording.

In "Irish Dance Music," Reg Hall provides the following information about London-born Frank Lee:

"Having played at Gaelic League, United Irish League, Irish-Self Determination League, Sinn Fein and Gaelic Athletic Association ceilidthe all over London during the 1920s and 1920s, he was by the early 1930s playing weekend ceilidh bookings for the Tara Football Club in Hammersmith. He took his band in Dublin in 1932 to compete at Aonach Tailteann, a week-long Gaelic festival, where it came second, narrowly missing first prize allegedly playing too fast. On the strength of that success, the band recorded for Zonophone and Frank embarked on a semi-professional career in recording, dance-band work and Irish dance-hall promotion in London."

Recorded in 1939 and released on the Regal Zonophone label (IZ 1043). From the Ted McGraw Collection, McGraw 78 00-666.
