A very nice song with great production and performance.

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

My Lovesong To You

If i were a rich man
I'll tell what I'd do
I'd bring all my treasures to you
If I were the king
I could make you a queen
With a beautiful, crown on your head

But I aint got diamonds
And I aint got gold
My gifts coming straight from the heart
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

If I were a sailor
Out on the sea
The wind would send my love to you
No matter if you
Are so far away
I always, stand by you, some way

Years may go by
And the time my fly
But darling, my love never dies
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

(bouzouki solo)
(chorus2 repeat)

This is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you
This is my lovesong to you

My Lovesong To You

A go at Pink Floyd's eternal favourite. Apologies to the afficionado's there is no guitar solo at the start; I tried one, but it didn't sound right.

Wish You Were Here (cover)

Ragias Christos - Vocals, Lyrics

ACID BREATHING

Begin now to breathe,
Handmade by yourself,
Reality lives,
Time from your Breath.

Begin now to live,
Thoughtmade by your will,
Dimension denies,
What messages mean.

Yourself is the will,
Direct to a cell,
Universe lives,
God Knows Your Breath,

Begin now to breathe - Begin now to live,
Handmade by yourself - Thoughtmade by your will,
Reality lives time from your breath,
Dimension denies what messages mean.

Acid Breathing (Lyrics on Description)

Knalpot is the Indonesian word for exhaust... well I think it can't be better ;-)

Knalpot

Written and recorded before breakfast. I  later re-did backing though and used subscription to re-upload 

Please let me let you down
I'm just a clown
My mind isn't sound 
It's known around town
Could you let me let you down
Do let me lay about 
I've never been stout 
In my struggle with doubt 
Until I get gout
Please let me lay about 
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Embrace love
Would you let me let you lie?
Let your heart calcify 
I couldn't let myself comply 
Quite brave for a wise guy 
Would you let me let you lie?
Never could let you let me down
With words and deeds that confound
So let's wear a long gown 
And watch the sun going down 
Never never never let me let you down
Never let me let you down

Never Let Me Let You Down

lets be friends

Unseen Circus

If you're thinking this guy is trying to copy the sound and style of Pink Floyd, you're right! 🤣🤣. That is the fun of making your own music! You can make whatever you would want to listen to. I hope you enjoy it.

In a dream, you’ll make it
Has to be, to take it
Guilty, we can see our saviour
The bastard, he can be our traitor

The wind and sea will impale ya
If you’re like me; a drunken sailor
To never be free, I found a jailer
A sot, a near-do-well, a total failure

There has to be something braver
For saving me, blind faith, and valor
The troubled breeze of change surrounds us
A muddled release of all they’re talking about

In a dream, you’ll break it
The mirror of fate, yourself; you hated
Bring to me the sands of Abydos
For the beggar who has the most

I’ll squint to see if there’s land there yet
Uncertainty is the jailer now
Brought to peace, my fight is over now
Into that dream, forever; on and on

Here's a little about my journey in music!
Beth Williams is an Americana Indie Folk Singer Songwriter – Storyteller – Yodeler – Entertainer – Hippie Bohemian Cowgirl who loves to sing & make people happy with her music.  She is also an accomplished session singer managing a thriving business through the use of her own Pro Tools Recording Studio in CO, USA. Able to "fly tracks" across the internet Ms. Williams sings lead or adds background vocals on projects for clients around the world.

Three of Williams' songs have charted in BILLBOARD and CASHBOX magazines, she was nominated by the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC as "Best New Female Vocalist of the Year" , "Best Female Performer", by the INDEPENDENT NEWS, and "Best Independent Female Vocalist" by CASHBOX. Beth's album IN THIS OLD HOUSE was Voted one of Austin's Top Albums and she was the winner of Music Austin's Best Albums Award. HUMBLE TIME RADIO SHOW nominated Beth for "Outstanding Female Songwriter" and "Outstanding Female Performance. Williams is known for writing songs that are an eclectic mix of folk, Americana, country, blues, pop and roots music. 

"Beth is blessed with a beautiful singing voice that has the dynamics to go from a whisper to the full power of cathedral bells." says Austin Americana. Jim Beal with the S.A. EXPRESS & NEWS writes "No sappy writer, no overt heartstring tugger, Williams instead is the kind of person who walks on the sunny side, uses common sense, sees the glass as half full & finds the silver lining in dark clouds"., while Buzz Marcos of TAYLOR GUITARS adds "Beth?s songs are innocent... experienced... beguiling...insightful... Her name and the title of this album should be spoken by every record reviewer in the country." Legendary producer LLOYD MAINES says "Besides the obvious, great singer and guitar player, Beth Williams bares her soul in her songs and performance. This is a brave and good thing. "


Born on Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico, the nomadic life of the military led her family to Pakistan, the Philippines, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Okinawa twice, all before she turned seventeen. Beth's passion for singing and songwriting began as a child. While living on Peshawar AFB in Pakistan, she happened upon a lone GI sitting on the bleachers of a deserted baseball field, singing and playing a guitar. Beth's destiny was sealed ,and her parents bought her a $10.00 guitar at the PX when they were relocated to Okinawa later that same year. Living with her family on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa at age 15, Beth won 1st place and $75.00 at the Kubasaki High School Talent Show after performing an original composition. Her family moved to Texas at the beginning of her senior year of high school where she immediately began her musical career singing songs she'd written delighting Texas audiences, touring Central Texas, military bases and overseas.

Wanting to be an independent artist with control and the final voice in her music, Beth started her own record label, WILLOW CREEK RECORDS where there are currently 9 CD's available. Taking her artistic independence one step further she opened a small ProTools recording studio, Hill Country Recording plus Video. "I decided to learn to become proficeint in recording myself and to learn to create videos of myself for promotional purposes." 

Her reputation as a excellent vocalist and harmony singer has brought Williams clients from all over the world who send her tracks via the Internet to add backup vocals to their projects or sing lead on their demos. 

Beth Williams performs at House Concerts, Private Parties, Festivals, Faith Based Events and Listening Rooms. For bookings office@bethwilliamsmusic.com  or  visit www.bethwilliamsmusic.com
