magnificent live mood and groove. sounds soooooo good through the cans (the mrs is in a interweb meeting) nailed it.

Damn! Lovely groove. Honors the r and b traditions. And just so nice!

how can we hire You, Herb and Randy for another song in the future? ;)

Superb atmosphere, bravo for this great blues !

Would love to be in this room for an evening!

Hey Bruce man, this is pure magic. Love your B3 and sax performances in here. Wonderful melodies expressed by both. Your singing is a real treat, as well. Hey man, excellent work all around here!

Outstanding revision Bruce! A pleasure! 😃👏👏

Daily Drops

A few months back, anyone landing on this page was extended an invitation to….“come set for a spell in The Blue Room…..when nobody loves you.”  Well, took a while, but I reckon the word’s getting out amongst the broken hearted - this smoky little back-alley jazzabilly joint been seeing some semi-decent crowds lately.  Might have to add a couple more tables over there in that side area where we been storing the old feltless pool table.   

I dunno, maybe there really are a lot of lonely hearts out there, looking for companionship.  But my bet is that the real draw here is the new act on stage, as the house band is now joined by two long-time Atlanta musicians - Herb Avery and his Hammond organ, and Randy Hunter with his saxophone.   

For this version of the house theme song (aka The Blue Room), not only is my fumbly-finger organ solo replaced with Randy’s stellar saxophone, but I’ve put together a new intro, much more fitting for the new instrumentation.   And btw, brother Herbert not only plays his Hammond on the song, but that’s him you’ll hear playing the background lounge piano as the track opens.

So yeah, come set for a spell (whether you're loved or not), and let Randy & Herb show you their stuff.

The Blue Room - version 2 w/sax & B3

Author : Eleanor Farjeon \ Composer : Rick Wakeman \ Cat Stevens
ISWC : T-902.185.334-9
Released : December 1971
Publisher : Cat Music Ltd \ Universal Music Publishing

***********************************************************************************
This song is a famous Christian hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931

***********************************************************************************
It had been over 35 years since I last played the guitar...

I started again at the end of July 2025.

On August 10, 2025, I recorded this cover with my cell phone,
WITHOUT EFFECTS, raw sound, with vocals and guitar.

When converting the file to Wav format, I simply heightened the volume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I would like to thank two followers:

- Four months ago, the first one really encouraged me 
to pick up the guitar again.

- The second is someone I hold in high esteem, 
who gave me confidence and, above all,
strongly advised me to post this track as it is,
despite its imperfections (the chords weren't quite right,
the singing wasn't great...)

A big thank you!

Morning Has Broken - Cover (Cat Stevens)

ARTEMIS

I had a dream to be a basketball player when I was very young.I gave it up, but kept watching ball games for years. I wrote this song Inspired by the great players’ super plays and strong minds.
And this is a song for all the people who are fighting in the life.

Lyrics 

Just wannabe my self, Stand!
Don’t know what to do
I know without ( what) I used to be
 Ice cold in my hands , upside down to sky

Tried to understand 
Let you know
Take my hands tonight 

I see you , Shooting Star to flow inside
Befalling Rising Stars, too grace

I can’t take my eyes off all of you
If you down I’ll be staying with you 
If you fall (you) could be staying with me

Shooting Star

Angel Aura Dust

Hey hey!! Back with something fresh finally.
Really appreciate you listening. Supporting.
All feedback and real love. Always returned.
This is 92 Bpm. Laid back. Uplifting vibes.
Stated with the dope female chop, loop.
Built the  idea, theme, track around it.
Looking for singers. Dm...

Never lonely

I have been using a CPAP machine for several months.  I am sleeping much better and I decided to take a stab at writing a song about it.  
***
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. A CPAP machine uses a hose connected to a mask or nosepiece to deliver constant and steady air pressure to help you breathe while you sleep.

CPAP Lyrics: 
I was snoring, so I had a sleep study, and they gave me a CPAP machine
It took a bit of getting used to, it was uncomfortable at first, but now it’s part of my nightly routine
When I first put on that CPAP mask, I tried to pretend I was like Darth Vader, part man and part machine, but actually I look more l like Jason in that hockey mask on Friday the thirteenth
The doctor said if I don’t wear that mask, I’ll be gasping for breath all night long and I know I’d better keep wearing it, if I want my heart and brain to stay strong.  I just wish I looked a little bit more sexy while I was wearing it.
Every night when I go to bed I wear a mask that covers my mouth and my nose and on the top of my head, connected to the mask, there’s a big, long hose.
They say when it comes to romance, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover 
 But something about that CPAP mask makes me thinks it’s goanna be hard to find myself a new lover.
The doctor said if I don’t wear that mask, I’ll be gasping for breath all night long and I know I’d better keep wearing it, if I want my heart and brain to stay strong. I just wish I looked a little bit more sexy while I was wearing it.
Sometime you gotta try to put things in perspective
Sometimes you gotta try to be a little bit more objective
Sometimes you just gotta put function over form
Sometimes you gotta be willing to deviate from the norm
The doctor said if I don’t wear that mask, I’ll be gasping for breath all night long and I know I’d better keep wearing it, if I want my heart and brain to stay strong.
I know it’s very important to follow all the proper medical advice and I have every intention to keep using my CPAP device.  I just wish I looked a little bit more sexy while I was wearing it.

A 2004 emotional moment through piano I share here as I feel close to you in this platform. Not capturing time but musically expressed.
Hope you enjoy,

Electro Nu Jazz at a Chill 85 bpm

The last of three songs, including Equinox and yet to release, Harvest Moon, written in past few weeks.

Ripples was inspired by gratitude — never underestimate the short- and long-term impact of kindness. Sometimes we never see the impact, the why something mattered and to whom. I still remember past kindnesses from people that to this day motivate or comfort me. They couldn’t have had the slightest idea — unless they had a crystal ball — to foresee how important their acts of kindness would matter to me later in life. So 🙏

Lyrically, a question is not asked, but is implied in the song:

Who dat knockin’ at my door?
Do you bring a blessin’ or a chore?

Babe, fuck a fast car, we ain't goin' nowhere.
The end of us ain't far, and I refuse to care.
We pretend we're par, lost within the glare
of what we feel while high, as if nothing else compares to you. 

Mate it’s great you stay in touch 
Cos just like me I think you smoke a little bit too much
And it’s lovely to believe, there’s another one of me
Living over there but that one’s got more hair
