like played live, easy, but great piano and the vocals, all perfect!

Perfect! Short and sweet, and appropriately cheeky. Nice! Durge

Great feel and texture in this.  Cool lyrics.

Great piano very nice arrangement , liked the playful vibe .

Back for another listen to this lovable tribute!

A rough mix taken from the desk @ The Brunswick a couple of weeks ago. The rain was torrential that evening but it didn't deter the  hardcore audience from turning up.  A little tip of the hat to Thelonious in this one.

Ah ben dis donc (Blimey)
 Ça... tu entends? (Can ya hear that?) 
Le mec sur la pétrolette (The bloke on a moped)
 Il monte la colline (Going up the hill) 
Pour voir sa copine (To see his girlfriend)
 Mais ça me donne mal à la tête (Does my head in)
En première vitesse (Always in first gear)
 Roulez jeunesse (Move it youngster) 
Remets le pot d’échappement (Put that exhaust pipe back on) Fous-moi la paix (Leave me in peace) 
Tu me casses les oreilles (Ya breaking my ears)
 J’en ai marre d’entendre ta ronflette (Tired of hearing that dam hum)

Errrrrrrrmmmm
 I think he’s on his way
 Errrrrrmmmmm 
Must love that girl, anyway 
Squiddly deet dat doot doo dat 
Well you know that where I’m at
 Squiddly deet dat doot doo dat doot day

 Ça, tu entends? (Do you hear that) 
Poile au bidon (For Christsakes) 
C’est le mec sur la pétrolette (A bloke on a moped)

Le Mec Sur La Pétrolette (Live)

A ditty I wrote during holidays by the bay.  Enjoy 

Summer Song

Trying to fingerpick.  Just vocals and guitar, nothing else.  Hope you enjoy.

New Years Decree

Keep The Wolves Away

A while ago I started writing songs about Barney Gumble from The Simpsons, the aim being to release an album all about him.  
Like most things, life caught up and I never finished the project.
This is the first song from this project.  Hope you enjoy. 👍

Barney's Hangover

This is a perfect song for collaboration that JJ came up with on the keys and bass, based on a really cool drum track that Ken (K2 and the Three, K2 and the Four) gave him. They are both wildly creative, and left the perfect amount of collaborator space, as they do on every song. Then I got a hold of it and added the main guitar, lap slide, mandolin, and some synth. Then we sent it over to Stephen (TexMex Shaman), who added that really cool guitar solo at the end of the first part, and some more guitar to the end. Also, and very importantly, Stephen produced and mixed this for us. Talk about monumental task! It was like we gave him a basket of cats, and he made a cohesive thought out of it. I'm amazed. I can't overstate how much I enjoy making music with these three sorcerers. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did making this.

Junebug (Eclectic Collective)

This will be the last birthday song for a while, apologies to those who didn't get one.

Hats off to little Richard
He’s made three score and ten
He no longer does those handstands
Just a backflip now and then

You might catch him with a reefer
Or a Coonawarra cabernet
When he picks up that ol’ Maton,  well..
Who knows what he'll play

Like guitar George
He knows all the chords
But he only uses two
And the the cats from Nashville say, look
There goes Ricky Boo

Take your hat off, be respectful
A milestone’s passing by
Little Richard’s. clocked up  seventy years
Now throw that hat up high!

Throw That Hat Up High

Come & Stay

Танеш!..

Ken wrote this song (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four) a little more than three decades ago, and recorded it with a former band in '95. It's about being a guy who recovers a woman from a failed relationship, even though he doesn't expect it to last. He got the term from an episode of the '90s hit Roseanne, when someone quipped after one of the daughters had been dumped by a bad boy, only to find a new boyfriend, that "it's not gonna last. He's her transition man." So, Ken, finding himself in a similar situation, picked up the term and ran with it.

  His original recording was a harder rock sounding song we used a template, but only loosely. Josh Clary (Entheogenic Psychonaught) tried to answer the question, what would Flea play on this? JJ Terrell came up with the fonky funk keys. Tez (Llanpsych) and Stephen (TexMex Shaman) came up with with the lightning and fire guitar leads. Ken, of course, did the driving drumming and essential percussion. Chris (cgManess) added the really solid foundational rhythm guitar. He also sings this one. On top of that, he also did a fantastic job of producing and mixing it, as well as coming up with the art.

  We hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics, too.

Hey won’t you listen to me?
I know I can’t set you free
But I’ll jump start your broken heart
Make it safe again for you to live and love
You know it’s all or nothing

Love see me for awhile
Let ‘em know you’re back in style
It’s touch and go, baby you should know
Feelings from your temporary heart
Leave me with all or nothing
Yeah
 

Girl, I’ll see you in my dreams tonight
It only takes all of my time
You see my brilliant color
Fades to black and white
For I see what you are
And I know who I am

I’m your
Your transition man, yea
Your transition man, yeah

Baby who’s to blame
Was it your fire or my flame?
Candle’s always melt to wax
But I want you to love me like “ forever “
Is all, or is it nothing?

Darling you’re in my soul
I thought I should let you know
The Spirit that is moving me
Is it all I'll have, or will you take my hand?
Give me all or give me nothing

And it’s a long distance, baby!!!

Transition Man - Cgmaness/J.J. Terrell/Tex Mex Shaman/Transatlantic Trio (Ken, Josh and Tez)

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.
