cool stuff from late winter/spring '22

Scotty: guitar, lyrics, vocals
Tommy: bass

I'll Try (Only For You)

When you're the shore
I want be the wave
Spreading over you
With warmth and light force
Deep penetrating in your mind
Making you wet and warm
Making you happy and breathless

Lovers in Space

Both Of Me

the late night theatres are waterfalls
they tell the same jokes every night
locks for the river that runs along broadway
i stand on the street and get hit by the flood
just like my father did, waiting for my mother
i do it now, waiting for you
you exit the theatre once in a blue moon 
yesterday i heard you say i’ll see you tomorrow
but i might have misheard what you said after all

sometimes i think that it’s always been there
growing like a fungus, always by my side
just like a dog, or a strange younger brother
i wonder if one day it will have to die
i keep a fish in a bottle by my bed
i release it in the stream 
under the wooden bridge
i release it in the stream
once it gets too big

the late night theatres are waterfalls
they tell the same jokes every night
locks for the river that runs along broadway
i stand on the street and get hit by the flood
just like my father did, waiting for my mother
i do it now, waiting for you
just like my father did, waiting for my mother
i do it now, waiting for you

i rest my head
so many days spent like this
i rest my head 
on the pillow

another day gone to seed
what is it that i need
to flower and to bloom
alone in my room

desperate for anything
a pair of homemade wings
let me fly
close to the sun

just like sisyphus
i’m only a myth
lost at sea
like some sort of odyssey

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

Born in Parma in 2017, Ayahuasca is a band that combines Sixties and Seventies’ psychedelic rock (Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead) with modern psichedelia (All Them Witches, King Gizzard, The Black Angels, Mild High Club). Their songs are about lisergic dreams and ancestral fears related to the depths of subconscious, the listener finds himself projected into a journey through lights and shadows of human psyche, where the borders of dualism in which we live become thinner, to leave room for a new way of perceiving ourselves and the world in which we live. Getting inspiration from personal experience and literature about rituals held by some indigenous tribes of Amazon with Ayahuasca, the band tries to tell about the nature of this experience, sometimes terrible and destructive, but afrodisiac and extatic at the same time, moving from heavy riffs to suites wrapped in reverbs and echoes of an endless and timeless space.
