This great American city which we also nickname "Philly" 
and which saw the birth of the luminous Grace Kelly, 
inspired me this track.
Mixture of Jazz / Fusion / Blues.
I particularly thank Julie for this beautiful photo taken 
during a stay in Philadelphia (Philly).

Cette grande ville américaine qu'on surnomme aussi "Philly"  et qui a vu naître la lumineuse Grace Kelly, m'a inspiré cette piste.
Mélange de Jazz/Fusion/Blues.
Je remercie particulièrement Julie pour cette très belle photo 
prise lors d'un séjour à Philadelphie (Philly).

------- PHILADELPHIA  "PHILLY" ---------

like the first ray of sunshine on Philadelphia,
Like the first light on Liberty place,
Like the first reflections on Lake Delaware,

Philly wakes up slowly,
start of a new day, lovely,

Philly, Philly, Philly city of lights,
Philly, Philly, Philly city of rights,

She was born in Philly,
The luminous Grace Kelly,

Philly, Philly, Philly, Philadelphia,
Philly, Philly, Philly, Philadelphia,
Philly, Philly, Philly, Philadelphia...

Good Rut		c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Alarm goes off at six each and every workin' day,
Shower, shave, and breakfast, get the kids off on their way.
Same ol' traffic, same ol' job, same reload/replay.
Sometimes it feels like we're in a rut, but you know what? 

Chorus
It's a good rut,
'Cause I got you by my side,
We're in a good rut,
Together we have made this life...
(Into) Somethin' solid we can hold onto.
I'm happy in this good rut with you.


V2
When we met you swore you'd change my wild and crazy ways.
Now it's dinner, TV, bed by 10, darlin' that's ok.
As long as we're together at the end of the day.
We may be in what some folks call a rut...but...

Chorus

Bridge
Without your love I don't know where I'd be...
Thank my lucky stars you stuck with me...in a good rut.



Chorus

Modal Expression in E No_3 
Is Mainly Major, Mixolydian (1:37) G# Minor (3:00), Major and Lydian Mix, C# Minor.
MOOD: Laying down and reflecting - Watching inside. Meditate.

This is the 3rd and last one from my Modal Journey :)
I've recorded this  1 Day after the two other pieces.

The Idea was to take 3rd and 6th degree (Key E) as Pentatonic and add the Minor/Major 6th to embellish it -- to make it more melodic and mix it with the E Lydian scale ...and spice it with some tension notes :)

Guitar: Breedlove Atlas D25 (with 7 month old Elixir Acoustic Guitar Phosphor Bronze NanoWeb, .013 - .056)
Backing Track played on PC with WM Player with Cyber Acoustics 2.1 Speaker System Ca3550 - 67 Watt
and Recorded with ZOOM H2n with 4CH (XY/MS) Stereo, Compressor General
MIX: Audacity 2.12 Fade-In/Fade-Out and Panned 50%/30% left/right channel with correction of db Level.

MEDIA RELEASE - Lloyd Spiegel releases ‘Backroads’

Australian acoustic blues mastermind Lloyd Spiegel is delighted to announce the release of his 8th album ‘Backroads’ and is touring to back it up.

Backroads is a hard-edged, brutally honest account of Spiegel's life outside of music and reinvents his sound for new audiences, delivering more punch in his most powerful studio performance to date.  Lead track ‘The Kick Around’ sets the tone from the outset with just over 2 minutes of fuzz, searing lead breaks, seedy bars, and the potential for regret.

Says Spiegel of the new album "So much of what I've written in the past is focussed on where I'm going. Both literally and figuratively. I'm a driven person and never really paused to think about the sacrifices, what I've left behind till I sat for a moment and started writing."

"The plan to step outside of what people might expect from me, sound fresh and push harder made it feel like I had no boundaries placed on me and I had a sense of creative freedom with this one that I hadn't felt before. I hadn't really let loose with an electric guitar on record since I was a teenager.... it felt good."

Lloyd Spiegel has always forged his own path throughout his long career. Spending quite literally his whole life performing, Spiegel blends his grounding in the blues with storytelling and dazzling guitar technique to create a show and signature sound that is launching him onto festival and theatre stages around the globe as a true master of his craft. 

Along with Cole Clark guitars, Lloyd designed guitars specifically for the recording and a new duo show with drummer Tim Burnham promises to deliver his biggest stage sound yet.

The Kick Around

Beach Soul Production Pierre Bordetti(c)
I like to walk on hot sand,
I like to be massaged by the wave,
I like to look at the blue sky,
mixed with that of the sea,

I prefer the ocean,
There are fewer sharks,
What in our streets and cities,

I would like to live at the beach,
I would like to live like a fish,

Thanks to Alexis for the beautiful picture.
___  Dreams in the wind ___
I always want to dream,
to travel again and again,
Sailing off with my team,
stay focus and stay zen,
I always want to dream,

The wind in the sails carries me,
beyond my mind,
beyond my mind,
my soul is stronger than an angry sea,
beyond my mind,
beyond my mind,
I really feel like flying,
like flying,

I always want to dream,
to travel again and again,
Sailing off with my team,
stay focus and stay zen,
I always want to dream,

to discover virgin islands,
let hot sand escape from my hand,
find the pearl of life,
to live my last slice.

I always want to dream,
I always want to dream,
I always want to dream...

Dreams In the Wind

Pierre Bordetti Production (c) 11/2018.
(I assure you, of course, that this song does not reflect my state of mind.
You must always have the hope of a better world ...)

It's been a long time!
that I did not like,
It's been a long time!
that I do not have much hope anymore,
It's been a long time!
that I have not opened this door,

It's been a long time!
that I no longer look in myself,
and in my mind,

But I do not want to be alone...
None of you will change me, none,
But I do not want to be alone...
None of you will change me, none...

It's been a long time...

It's been a long time

Oumuam is a small interstellar body spotted on October 19, 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope installed on the Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, while it was 0.2 astronomical unit of the Earth. It is the first identified object to come from outside the Solar System.
Some scientists even think it could be an alien ship! So let's dream a little!
Oumuamua, est un petit corps interstellaire repéré le 19 octobre 2017 par le télescope Pan-STARRS 1 installé sur l'Observatoire du Haleakalā, à Hawaï, alors qu'il se trouvait à 0,2 unité astronomique de la Terre. Il est le premier objet identifié à provenir de l'extérieur du Système solaire.
Certains scientifiques pensent même qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un vaisseau extraterrestre ! Alors rêvons un peu !

Achterbahn des Lebens - Jasmin M.

Acoustic Guitar Player from Germany. Genres:  Acoustic Blues Rock, Southern Rock, Latin Rock, R&B, Folk and Pop.  Style:  Flat picking all the way. Started playing guitar at  the age of seventeen -  and still enjoying playing now in my Fifties.

As a musician focusing primarily on Melody and Groove - and songs that can be recognized without the need of singing.

Influenced by Gary Moore, Wishbone Ash, Ten Years After, Scorpions, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Joe Bonamassa  and  Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Francis Cabrel, Melissa Etheridge, Tommy Emmanuel, Lloyd Spiegel, Geoff Achison, Bjorn Berge and many more...

Just love the reward of creating  music and enjoy  being able to express myself through the guitar - every Day for the last several years - improving  continuously and hence having more fun playing.

My ambition from the beginning was to find my own style. There is so much to learn. I will never be as great as I want to be. But I'm going to spent the rest of my life trying to be as great as I can be.
