Hey great version Lawrence and I don’t mean maybe!

Very clever using those instruments to create such a resonating version

Great sound, I’m sure this is going to get a whole bunch of listens.

You have found the heart of this little diamond, thank you Donald or thank you Gene, thank ya Lawrence!!!

Great Rock`n`Roll Stuff. Rough cover version - i like that!

Rock and Roll always works and this classic is especially good. Great played and sung. Nice swinging groove.

great  job on this cover, great vocal and music, love it.

No one will argue with this choice for a cover Lawrence. Nice job! Durge

We have had another magic invite from Mamoru, and Jamie and I have had a lot of fun working with him on this fab classic. It came together quite quickly, as we all felt a lot of empathy with the song and Mamoru's arrangement.
When I finished the vocals, I realised I had sung "take a chance" instead of "shake a hand" on the last line of the second verse..lol.. we left it in!
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it!

Composed by the Trumpeter and Bandleader Joe Morris and originally recorded by Faye Adams in 1953
Mamoru - Rhythm Guitar, Bass, Drums, Mixing
Jamie - Piano, Hammond Organ

Shake A Hand ( Mamoru Tsuzuki/Jamie Rhind/Lizzie Taypen)

A Gene Vincent hit from 1956. It got as high as no. 7 on the American Billboard charts. The drummer of Gene's band The Blue Caps, namely Dickie Harrell, claimed the song was purchased from a fellow by the name of Donald Graves for the sum of $25. Another story had Graves and Vincent co-writing the song with Graves being paid out for $25. Whoever wrote it, I love it so thank you to both Gene and Mr Graves. 

In my shortened version which is a lot different to the original, I changed the D7 chord to a D, I changed some lyrics and left out the lead break. I use one uke hyped up a little, 2 drum tracks, a generous amount of reverb to give it a bigger live sound, Liverpool bass, mellotron and soul organ keys and a bloke who loves the song...thank you Gene Vincent (RIP)for bringing it to the world.

Lyrics

Well be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby
Be-bop-a-Lula I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby
Be-bop-a-Lula I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll

She's the woman with the red blue jeans
She's the woman who's queen of the teens
She's the woman and I want you to know
She's my little woman and I love her so yeah

Be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby
Be-bop-a-Lula I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll

She's the woman that's got that beat
She's the woman with the flying feet
She's the woman and I want you to know
She's my woman and I love her so yeah
Be-bop-a-Lula she's a my baby
Be-bop-a-Lula I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll, that's right

Enter the mesmerising world of "Mantodea," a musical journey that delves into a future concept of the female species metamorphosing into a captivating Praying Mantis hybrid. In this enthralling narrative, we explore the evolutionary phenomenon where these ethereal beings transcend the boundaries of mere mortals, embracing a newfound prowess, and a captivatingly mysterious existence.

Allow yourself to immerse in the hauntingly harmonies, embodying the strength and grace of the evolved Mantodea. The music's dynamic interplay symbolises the complex dance between these enchanting beings and their male counterparts.

Mantodea

Fast song

and now for something completely different…
This song had been half-finished for an age and in a spirit of new-found whimsy I have faux-finished it 😊.  I had rather a lot of fun singing the pixie backing vocals!  Written sung, made and played by Emma.

i saw mermaids, real live mermaids
swimming in that little bay
the secret one where dreams allow us
freedom yet for breathing

i saw elves, the wood-elf kind
when i was walking through the forest
green and golden sunshine drifts through
leaves and i feel magic

i feel magic in the air, i know i am alive at last
i can taste it on my tongue, it feels so.... it feels so....
i don’t know how i’ve been living here so long and never...
o... it’s magic

i saw serpents real live serpents
swimming in the backyard creek
twining tangle shadow waters
i can feel you calling – and the sun on water sparkles

i saw lights in many colours
i was holding out my hand to
gather in the pieces of you
floating on the water

i feel magic in the air, the endless possibilities, 
i taste them hold them on my tongue
run wild as all the colours run
over me now, over and over and over -  it’s magic....

i feel magic in the air...

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk

/// Lyrics:
Durante años he sido controlada por la mentalidad religiosa
He estado presa de mis pensamientos
Siento una energía dentro de mí, un gran poder invisible, la Telekinesis
Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Romperé las barreras de lo que me imponen
dejaré de ser una chica tímida y cabizbaja
me graduaré con honores en la fiesta de sangre
ya no seré mas objeto de tus burlas
seré tu peor pesadilla infernal.

Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.
