Slow River (Val Akey & Kontra Sz collab)

The flowers that I send you, are not uprooted. They are the notes that inspire me.

FLOWERS I SENT TO YOU

Early 1960's simplicity. I love it.

This isn't far off the original except for its' sound, different harmonies, no lead break and it is nowhere near as polished. Just a favourite song of mine I had fun doing...

I'm Into Something Good (Herman's Hermits)

oh, my mother says she prays for me, every single night,
she says she prays, that i will be just all right.

Living In The Future

Mike  created this wonderful song .  I am so glad he asked me to participate .   I just love this old tune also recorded by Merle Haggard.   Such an emotional  song with deep meaning.  Thanks again Mike for letting me join in on your excellent version   I hope SC listeners feel the same

If I Could Only Fly (Blaze Foley cover by Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

i wrote this song after reading a great book by Raymond Blanc.....im not sure why, as the song has nothing at all to do with cooking, and RB is always such a happy fellow...............thanks if you are having a listen

Once

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

Debra 's been generous enough to let me try to sing something over her beautiful "Song for the morning ". Thx a million my dear friend :))

Morning Song 

you feel my gaze and you wake up
and then slowly you seek my voice
when you have so much trouble waking up from sleep
I want to be near you
because you're looking at me with that unmistakable look because you squeeze my hand
to say "it's forever "
so I wrote this morning song for you

Chanson Du Matin (translated) w/ Debra Buesking

Let the shoes be marked by your steps, on and on. Whenever there are (as it seems) too many obstacles, you will find a way to get through. The crossing will make new marks, as a part of your adventure, reflecting you...

Shoes Delight - Keep on walking
