A few small changes to the words...
This was tough, I have such a rough time with vocals, i rerecorded some of them and remixed the track..

Getting up at 4a m before the birds are singing
Rise and shine to the smell of coffee percolating
Load up the truck put the gear in the boat we’ll spend the day out fishing 
What a way to spend a saturday, out on the river 
And the coffeeville road is dark and long but we know which way to go
we’ve been this way a million times to our favorite fishing hole…
The old lock and dam on the Tombigbee river..

Take me down to the river one more time
Let me put my feet in the water to ease my mind 
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the wind blow through the trees 
The way it used to be  
 
The river is life, the river is love, but the river is tough sometimes
And the river is hope, the river  is dreams , as  it runs through our lives
it’s full of the memories of the times we had together
And it feels like it goes on and on, but nothing lasts forever

 And the Coffeeville road don’t seem as long as it did those years ago
And were going one more time to our favorite fishing hole..

Take me down to the river one more time
You can put your feet in the water to ease your troubled mind
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the shadows through the trees
My Dad and me…

Music and lyrics T.Clua Oct 2023

OUPS est une compo qui datait un peu... j'ai imaginé ici sa famille... Une mère qui a le melon, des frères turbulents, un papi un peu react. Ca reste une musique pour les jeunes enfants et dans l'esprit Halloween... des monstres, une tension mais avec humour.

"It's Hopeful Time Again" (v2, 2023)

A new version and arrangement of my earlier song, a.k.a. ”It’s Xmas Time Again”. I experimented with some different chords, inversions, voicings and chord progressions etc. and this is the result!

This was played by me using the Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a master keyboard. The main keyboard sound here is from the Yamaha Montage 8 (the great and ever so lovely Yamaha TX816 Electric piano performance which was converted from the original TX816 patch), layered with Gospel Musicians' Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 (Dyno Rhodes) and Keyscape (Roland MKS-20). Other sounds that I have been privileged to use come mainly from the great UVI SonicPass instrument collection and the Arturia V Collection. The drums come from Native Instruments Abbey Road 80s Drummer. 

Recorded and mixed using Cubase Pro 13. Mixed with Cubase, with some very significant amount of help from iZotope Neutron 4. Mastered with iZotope Ozone 11.

Please take care of yourself and each other and please let us try to treat each other with due dignity and respect in this hopeful time of year.

For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Over and around us lies
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale, and tree and flower
Sun and moon, and stars of light
Sun and moon, and stars of light
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild
For all gentle thoughts and mild
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise

For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
This our joyful hymn of praise

For the Beauty of the Earth

The latest in the Texas Tea series, this is Rusty Shackleford Rides Again.  Terry had the spark for this one.  Once I heard his ideas the guitar part kinda flowed naturally.  Terry did a killer job on the mix and final production as well. This is dedicated to one of our mutually admired cartoon icons.

How Are The Living

Had A Few

Out on the porch, pickin' & grinnin' & drinking beer, waiting for the fiddle player and the mandolin guy. Neither one showed, so we did the best we could with the guitars. My daughter Julia helped out on the vocal harmonies.

This little ditty is my attempt to musically chronicle the 46 years my wife & I have been together.

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul... (21 August 2017) ... Forgot to mention: music is for sharing - that's why we are all here! (4 September 2017)
