Created in collaboration on 27 June 2021 (initial mix and recording in MAGIX by Roberto B), 1 August 2021 (subsequent additions, mix and recording by Alex M in GarageBand and Logic Pro X), and 2 August 2021 (final mix and recording in Logic Pro X by Alex M), and posted here on SoundCloud on 7 August 2021 (by Alex M). Vocal samples from free online sources have been used (by Roberto B).

Thank you so much, Roberto - for the beautiful musical ideas and our collaborations!

Fear and Courage - Roberto B & Alex M

It is called the storm because it was finished in one. I hope you enjoy it! This is my latest composition. I am making one with other instruments as well.

COLORS OF SUMMER

Although my Short Tales album is out, I still keep making these trio acoustic guitar pieces. This one I initiated just after the release and finished just now after rearranging and adding segments. It explores different Latin inspired rhythms, the time signature could either be 95 bpm or double that depending on the section. 
In my mind these sounds here recall summer moods and feelings, some uplifting, some more melancholic.

As always I really enjoy your comments, likes and shares.

A Part Of Me

PICK ME UP
BEFORE I LET YOU DOWN
GIDDY UP
COS I’M THE HELL OF A ROAN
HELL OF A CLOWN

I DON’T KNOW WHERE I BELONG
SOMEWHERE DO I HAVE A HOME
IF YOU TRY TO TIE ME DOWN
THEN YOU’LL SEE ME GONE

FALL ME UP
OR FLY ME TO THE GROUND
HURRY UP 
BEFORE I’M NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

I HEARD THAT YOUR BIRD HAS FLOWN
AT THE VERY EDGE OF DAWN
NOW REGRETS CUT YOU THROUGH THE BONE
BUT WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE

START ME UP BEFORE YOU BREAK ME DOWN
CHECK ME UP AMONG THE LOST AND FOUND 

I DON’T KNOW WHERE WE BELONG
WE THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAM
SOMEDAY WILL WE HAVE A HOME
OR ARE WE ALWAYS TO BE BLOWN AWAY

SHUT ME UP SO I CAN YELL NO SOUND

AND IT’S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
ANYWAY RIGHT HERE WE’RE SUCH A LONG LONG WAY 
FROM ANYWHERE ANYWHERE
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY  (Lyrics)

I'm very grateful to be part of this talented and supportive Soundcloud community.  I try to write songs in a wide range of styles, including r&b, funk rock, folk, jazz, soul, alt-country, and classic rock.   My songs are written, recorded, and produced entirely by me, with the exception that my wife Joslyn provides backing vocals on a couple tracks.  I've also got some covers here just for fun.
