all your rhythms and musical sequences (if that's what they're called) are great

ha-ha...WOW! Just floated my boat of musical appreciation with this delightfully and intricately woven slice of jazz and vocal performance! Mixed so well that it oozes sentimentality as you both (what a great sense of textures that would complement each other ...kudos to Janine for her touch of magic) float those vocals (working those vowels and crisp staccato consonants...adding Johnathan with slick riffage and this is so darned beguiling! GO TEAM!

Your wit knows no bounds but without your pathos it'd just be clever. Wit + pathos = sublimity.

What a hoot of a song!  So much ear candy and just basic good musicality (is that a real word?).  I totally enjoyed this.  Great collab!!!

Hey man, this is a song worthy of its all-star cast. I love the vocal harmonies you and Janne do in there. Spectacular, understated guitar from Jonathan, too. And the drums from Yaron are just right, too. What a brilliant collab. Way to go, all of you!

Always been a little shy when it comes to love songs, a little like the character on the track however,  doing a duet with Janine was not the icing on the cake, it was the cake! 

Then, the magic touch from Jonathan and Yaron in two areas of music where I fail miserably, guitar and drums, big thank you to all three, I couldn’t’ve done it without you!

He tugged at his hair
Shucked his cuffs       
He stared at his feet
And he blushed  
She looked so good in that dress     
Oh but who would’ve guessed
There might be a change in his luck

She said 
Do y'know any jokes?
And he said 
O.k, there was this bloke…’
And the punchline was crass
He fell flat on his ass
But something had floated her boat

Something had floated her boat 
Something had floated her boat
Ignore the Pecksniffs
And listen to this
A boat just needs water to float

saw you stumble along on an empty field
jumping over all the black holes of pandemic fears
filled with the collateral damage
no empty gaps
it’s not easy to find a direction
when the world turns mad
when the whole world turns mad

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

the moment you see the horizon it starts to slip away
get your head up into the stars to light your way
saw you stumble along on an empty field
chased by pandemic rabbits
but you were better in hitting the hook
so it seems

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

Sunchild

The search for a more peaceful existence away from the commotion, corrupt or not, of society.

Let Me Go

The cakewalk was more than a recreational dance; it also gave a chance for enslaved people to ridicule those who tyrannized them.

My Island

Lyrics;
Summertime and the living is...
Hey! I Know that guy! ...

I saw him
Yes, I saw him
Santa Claus
chiilin'
in his big driveway
Had to be a reindeer's dream
Santa in the summer
With a four wheel sleigh

Hot August sun
All dressed in black
Santa having summer fun

A big white beard
A big ole tummy
Winter cheer
His summer disposition is sunny

He's the jolly old man
With a shiny Caddy
Right here
in Fishers Indiana
Not the place
I thought I'd see

He's even cool
In the heat of day
Resting up                                        
Before the great big giveaway

A big white beard
A big ole tummy
Winter cheer
His summer disposition is sunny

Yes it's Summer
And Santa's living life
Just like anyone
up and down this street

Summertime's
Not the time

But there he was we all saw him
Me, my kids, my wife
Kicking back in Fishers
The surprise of our life

So strange to see the man
Dressed all in black
Not the red and white
And bag of toys upon his back
In Fishers Indiana
With a big Cadillac
But yeah, I saw him!

A big white beard
A big ole tummy
Winter cheer
His summer disposition is sunny

Summer Santa

All that we are
is not near or too far
all that we do
will not make us brand new

Take the ruby from my hand
and see how it glows
a thousand yesterdays will hold on tight
until we get home

We've travelled so far
not to know who we are
Curtains will fall
making clear to us all

Take the locket from my hand
and see how it shines
a thousand yesterdays won't make it last
until the end of time

I've waited so long
just to find
If you'd just

Take the ruby from my hand
and see how it glows
a thousand yesterdays will hold on tight
until we get home

Get Home
