That's a remarkable mixture of styles...!

Nice tune! I'll be having this catchy and uplifting melody running through my head all day!

A very different sound and catchy melody...

Solstice Weather Report
 
These solstice eyes 
have learned to disagree
with the varnish and dies
of vain pleasantry

The ugly devices of self-serving goons
casting their angst ridden bases
only to float their ego-balloons
have erased all the sky's visual graces.

This Solstice skin
has learned to shy away
from the deceptively Thin
pvc overlay.

this discount-priced vortex of dime-store illusion
raises hope from the ground at it's gust front
only to soil soils with futile pollution
as it scatters it's load in the minds of those stunned.

These Solstice ears
have learned to listen in
to the grumblings of fears
in the voice therein

Bared. in the open, prone to transform
Buds turn to flower when graced by the soft rain
fears provide courage to transcend the norm
letting go and becoming are one and the same.

THE WISH by Elizabeth O.S. Chute

Her Happier Times (Brookes and Wigmore)

available for free D/L at https://www.terrywigmore.com/jazz-collection-vol-2 (track 6) 

Oh, for the good old days when life was less complicated and appeared far more rosier than our current global situation.

This is a pensive composition and moves along with images from an older woman's past. Ray's music provides a jazz framework for the memories as they flow much as a stream of consciousness, one image after another - a series of Black and White photos from a Brownie camera or the scenes from a silent film. 

There is a lot to take in and the tempo allows the listener to project his or her own thoughts and feelings onto the silver screen of your mind's eye. 

Music and Lyrics: Ray Brookes (all piano and guitar parts performed, recorded and mixed by Ray - pre-mixed backing sent to Terry for vocals to be added)

Lyrics to Her Happier Times 
(c) Ray Brookes 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Ancient clocks and ringing chimes 
The old lady remembers happier times 

Monochrome photos, fewer cars 
Sci-fi movies and men from Mars 
Larger skies and brighter stars 
Shillings and pence and sweets in jars 

Favourite shoes and vintage wines 
Long summer days and fishing lines 
Old sleepy orchards and endless vines 
Birthday cards and Valentines 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Mother goose and nursery rhymes 
The old lady remembers happier times 

Instrumental - guitar solo (Ray)

Old country fiddles heel and toe 
Gingham waltzes and foxtrots slow 
Those Friday nights at the picture show 
Walks to school steady as you go 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Pecking orders and social climbs 
The old lady remembers happier times
