very talented guitar player, lovely voice reminds me of sufjan stevens meets bob dylan [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Took a listen 'cause I'm a big MO fan (especially because of the lyrical content - Andrew M. is the opposite of a lazy lyricist),  and I think you did a great job here.  Your voice is similar to Andrew's, so it's a good fit for you.

Even though this is cover, you’ve got great authenticity in your delivery. Stellar work, buddy.

LYRICS:
I've travelled this old world right over.
I've had some good times but I've had some bad times as well.
I've even been on Death Row in San Quentin
I've been right down to the very depths of hell.

But now it's - Sandwich Station - when's the next train leaving ?
Any old destination, that's all right.
Oh no ! Don't say there ain't no train till morning.
If I can't leave now I won't make it through the night.

I met a Sandwich lady in a tea-shop.
Her floral hat it really blew my mind.
I said: Ma'am take me home to try your sponge-cake !
But that Sandwich lady didn't treat me kind. 

So  now it's - Sandwich Station - when's the next train leaving ?
Any old destination, that's all right.
Oh no ! Don't say there ain't no train till morning.
If I can't leave now I won't make it through the night.

Every shop you see is an antique shop.
There ain't no truck stops and no decent bars.
A man  can't do what a man's gotta do in this town.
It ain't no place for a Country and Western star.

So now it's - Sandwich Station - when's the next train leaving ?
Any old destination, that's all right.
Oh no ! Don't say there ain't no train till morning.
If I can't leave now I won't make it through the night.

Sandwich Station

My cover of India Arie's song "Break The Shell".
She is such an inspiration to me. Her voice, her passion. This song touches my heart every time I listen it.

Break The Shell - India Arie (Cover)

A few tracks from our recent Live session at Mission Control Padstow.

Suicide Suzie

First Mandolin Orange Cover. Andrew Marlin's vocals remind me of James Taylor but with perfect clarity. Mine = nowhere close.

Wildfire  (Mandolin Orange Cover, Rec July 2019)

Freedom - Is the struggle to be equally protected and respected by those WE THE PEOPLE give power to; Police, Military, Politicians, and the Companies we buy from, that power comes from our vote, local, state and federal

We just finished this song three weeks ago, with the plan to release in Nov.
We rushed to finalize it so we could release now and give all the FREEDOM FIGHTERs some inspiration.

Cancion Curandero 
Ecuador Mayo 2020
Composicion, instrumentacion, Letra, Voz, de Caminante Medicina 

Letra:

Y es el camino del yopito curandero de mi ser
Y es el camino de Diosito verdadero de ayer y hoy 
Y es el camino del yopito curandero de mi ser
Y es el camino de Diosito verdadero de ayer y hoy

Maria Lioncero, Madre Chejeru, Volao por la nubes
Volao con el Yopo, camino sincero, camino del cielo, camino del rezo agua y fuego y es el camino curandero a volar

amar, llorar, reir de amor            Eneme

Dioses antiguos, habitan altares, rodillas entrega, confianza fe ciega, hermano Gregorio,velando rezando, mente volando, cuerpo sanando, y es el camino curandero a volar

colores y portales de amor          Eneme

Cuando hay duda, calma la buya, todo perfecto, y lo agradezco, soy del pasado dejando legado, vengan conmigo, tomen mi mano, y es el camino curandero a volar

colores y portales de amor        Eneme

Y es el camino del Yopito curandero de mi ser
Y es el camino de Diosito verdaro de ayer y hoy
Y es el camino de Yopito curandero de mi ser
y es el camino de Diosito

Camino del Yopo

Curandero

A track about the world chaos at the start of the pandemic of 2020 and the interactions it has with our lives and the climate and also our hope for a better future both environmentally and mentally.

World Pandemania - Ben Kane (Accoustic)

MIGHTY FALL (el altar del dinero)

driving down the mountain, just to watch them crawl
mr. know-it-all, raised on backdoor’d nepotism, but dropped the ball
speeding through the city, just to catch that thrill
of the sucker's kill, he was superman-ambition, with no real skills 

-C H O R U S -

…and the Mighty Fall, 10,000 clowns and all
if you’re blind to your addictions, she’ll be that intervention now
it’s a Mighty Fall, one percent and all
if you need the inspiration, she’s a walking revelation now

-V E R S E-

flashing on the TV, with a smirking grin
mr. Walking Sin, he was tight-rope-contradictions
…and dead within
living in a bubble, is the modern way, oh but so cliché
to have all the education, but zero grace

-C H O R U S -

…and the Mighty Fall, jack-off saints and all
If you’re lacking the conviction, she’ll be a benediction now
and the Mighty Fall, trust fund perks and all
if you’re missing the compassion, she’ll tase your heart to action now

-B R I D G E –

billions and trillions and zillions of dollars, the altar of money, is it worth all the bother?
it owns you and tones you, you soon will be facing, a bottomless hunger that's certainly waiting for you…

-C H O R U S -

…and the Mighty Fall, country clubs and all
if you need a new sensation, she’s a walking revelation now
…and the Mighty Fall, wipe the prints and call
no one cares about distinctions when facing their extinction now

Mighty Fall (el altar del dinero)

I Ain’t Gonna Let You Fall

Seeking like-minded musicians to team up with in western Snohomish County.
Message me if you're in the area and interested in collaborating. chrstph182@gmail.com

I fell out of jazz years ago for career goals, and started over with Acoustic/Americana/Folk aspirations. Spent a couple years in lessons and have been recording covers with a guitarist friend. Currently picking up the Tenor Guitar.

I'm interested in finding others who want to perform occasionally (even just for open mics); guitarists, strings, or wind instruments, and minimalist percussionists. Would love to split the lead role with another vocalist as well. I'm open also to Indie, Sea-Song, Bluegrass, or Rockabilly vibes. Hoping to grow further with more practice and more people, and I'm dying to get out and perform again!
