This is a track from my latest Quintet Recording.  "Pobeto" was the nickname of a friend  back in 95 who was getting in too much trouble here in NYC and I had to call his brother and get him back to Brazil before it was too late.  He got straightened out but I missed the friendship and his incredible personal relationship  to guitar. This is a Choro with 3 parts - C being open for solos  with Eric Schugren -tenor sax, Ben Holmes -trumpet, Evan Francis - Alto, Billy Newman - guitar, Leco Reis - bass and Kenny Grohowski on the drums

Struggle and pain,
I am invisible.
Struggle and pain,
Are you invisible?

It hurts inside
But don’t ignore your pain.
When pain turns to anger
We find someone to blame,
Even though we are the same.

We all need to feel
And be seen and heard.
We all need to heal.
Can we be real?
Treat each other with respect.

Struggle and pain,
I am invisible.
Struggle and pain,
Are you invisible too?

We are the same.

Invisible

Guess with Tess is a kids’ quiz show based on Greek mythology. Tess picks a mythological figure and gives five clues, while her father tries to guess the figure. Then Tess tells a story associated with that figure. Tess chooses the subject and researches and writes the story. She and her dad work on the clues together.

The theme and bumpers were composed by Tessa’s dad, William Bausch.
The rap battle songs were written & performed by Tessa and her dad.
The harp music accompanying the story was composed and performed by Tessa (on a MIDI keyboard).

Lyrics: 

A virtual agent
I’m a tool, I’m a fool without a face
Designer suit, designer tie, designer life
And it feels empty

A fictional doorway
Dark inside like the devil in our minds
You’ve got a mask on but I see through your disguise 
It’s all so empty

I’m just a robot in your routine 
I’m just a robot in your routine 
I’m just a robot in your routine 
I’m just a robot 
In your regime 

Stuck on a wheel 
Spinning circles, watching my life pass me by  
Every day I tell myself I can’t live this way 
It feels so empty 

I keep my hands in my pockets
Marching wistfully all day into formation 
We’re moving closer to a mass disintegration 
It’s all so empty

I’m just a robot in your routine 
I’m just a robot in your routine 
I’m just a robot in your routine 
I’m just a robot 
In your regime
