Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes?

With so many people making music--literally tens of millions--there is a serious overcrowding problem, creating a wall of white noise; to stand out from that background, a musician must bring something very different to the table :)

All We Are

Everybody has had a Jelly Belly sometime in their lives.  They come in all kinds of flavours and colors.  What if each flavour was an instrument?
This is a fun song with a funky/jazzy/bluesy beat.  Hope you enjoy it.

This is my first time using drum loops.  I don't think I could have pulled it off with two fingers banging on a midi keyboard.

Decided to take the road less traveled, at least for me. I think in these times people sure wish for something like magic to take these troubles away, but as with anything that we don't understand there is a great potential price to pay in these arcane experiments. Enough with the jabbering, take a listen and really hoping all is as well as circumstantially possible in your life.

That Old Bridge

We  hope you are having a great Summer!  A lonely old man trying to deal with overwhelming loss.  A pretty sad song.😏
Hope you like it!

Lyrics;
The old bridge spans the gully
And still it's standing strong
But no one's been across it
In oh so very long

And this old house I'm living in
Is much more than a home
It shares the sweetest memories
My world's ever known

I see the mountains
On a moonlit night
Where ghosts of the past
Will take their flight

The stars shine in the heavens
As if to to let me know
That I'm not alone
In this old house below

And I know you are watching
From out there up high
You shine with stars
As I look to the sky

Sometimes it seems hard
To get up every day
I miss you in the morning
And the funny things you'd say

When the wind's blowing gently
I hear your name
Close my eyes and see your face
And so briefly feel no pain

Looking out the window
II'll watch the world go by
The seasons come and go
Tears still fill my eyes

And the old bridge spans the gully
And still it's standing strong
But no one's been across it
In oh so very long

That Old Bridge

Bis Zum Horizont

Big surprise I really should have listened
Before upsetting the few that remain
At sunrise I'll re-evaluate my options
Then do it all again

The world is full of fakes and cheaters
I've called them out so many times
Its absurd packing punches with world beaters
The seedy and the slimes

CHORUS
Life is testing and I've tested one and all
Quite perplexing quite how many I've appalled
Muscle flexing - acting big before I fall
There's no proof
I'm the man who cried wolf

Did you hear the one about the fella
That won big and was made for good?
It was me!  Well follow me forever
I really think you should

Your face, the features of an angel
A glow surrounds you everywhere that you go
Such grace but flashing red with danger
Suspicious but don't know

CHORUS

The Man Who Cried Wolf

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
I don't respond to musicians that just add numbers, and i don't respond to musicians that just click the like button, because it doesn't prove they actually listened.

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!

SUPPORT: I’ll show you mine if you show me yours!!! FAIR EXCHANGE!
FAIR EXCHANGE: Listen 4 Listen, Comment 4 Comment, Share 4 Share!

Almost on a daily basis I am told by one Soundcloud user after another that my music is crap, that I have zero talent....what do you think? Are they right, or is it a case of sour grapes? And do you think I take it to heart :) No! What's heartbreaking for all of us is....WHEN NO ONE LISTENS!

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP: THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THE WORLD instrumentals

SEVERAL MUSICIANS HAVE SUGGESTED I'M A IN A GENRE OF MY OWN, WHICH HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT FOR A MUSICIAN!

MY APPROACH HAS ALWAYS BEEN, LET WHATEVER WANTS TO COME OUT, COME OUT; NO PLAN, NO BOUNDARIES, NO FORMULA, AND ON THE FLY! 

With so many people making music--literally tens of millions--there is a serious overcrowding problem, creating a wall of white noise; to stand out from that background, a musician must bring something very different to the table :)

HOPE THE DAY EVENTUALLY ARRIVES WHEN INNOVATION ONCE AGAIN REPLACES REGURGITATION, BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, IMITATION AND REGURGITATION CONTINUES TO GRAB THE AUDIENCE, WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR THOSE OF US WHO INJECT OUR REAL PERSONALITIES INTO OUR TUNES :)

I COME FROM ONE OF THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT PLACES ON THE PLANET, CREWE! NO BAND OR MUSIC, OR ANY ARTIST REPRESENTING ANY OF THE ARTS, OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE EVER CAME FROM CREWE, AND I KIND OF LIKE THAT; A CREATIVE GIANT EVOLVING FROM A TOTALLY STERILE ENVIRONMENT :)
