This was written at a time when regular folks were being asked to tighten their belts by the rich politicians, and wait longer and longer to retire. Then along came COVID-19....so maybe when the world recovers the "workin til 100" line may not be an exaggeration.

Grab and Plunder Blues      copyright Okunbor & Phillips 2019

They told us, we could have it all; the money, mansions and the time.
Some good years, we couldn't see the fall; they robbed us blind with a smile.
Moanin', rollin' workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.
Ooh, I’m talkin’

Steering broken down motors; no way to fund a drivin’ wheel.
Finding the rent is a killer; nothin’ in the kitty for a meal.
Moanin', rollin', workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.

Ooh, hear me howling.
Aah hear me moaning.

Waiting for the pension ‘til a hundred; payment with a letter from the Queen.
Days of entitlement are over, except for politicians on a scheme.
Moanin', rollin' an workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin', the work'll never stop, I feel I’ve got the grab and plunder blues.

Lord, hear me howling, tight belt turning to a noose.
Oh, hear me moanin’,
Moanin’ bout the grab and plunder blues.

Grab & Plunder Blues ~ Chris O & Fossil60

Just a lady who loves music. I put my guitar down in trade for working on lyrics and singing. All the tracks I have uploaded are in collaborations with wonderful talented musical friends ~

MAP: 
Music and Poetry 
to map all the universes
with all the non human voices.

 I am Wivresse, a french poetess exploring music and voice by her own feelings and self-taught.

MAP is a musical genre that comes from permaculture art in order to reconcile nature and culture, because there is no difference between the two, it's like saying that the horizon is a border.
I'm also developing a new project: 
MAB Music And Biophilia (Music including sounds of life to celebrate it).
And in this idea, I work on natural frequencies.

The musical genres I explore: World, electro, arty, traditional, care, experimental, ritual, jazzy.

Available for collaborations.

I also play in two duets, one with a Japanese musician for more than 10 years:

 ☆Kinsâme ☆
with Kyt de Kinsâme :

( Electro, J-Pop, world, ambient, experimental, jazz)

 And the other with an American musician, 

 ᚎ Pythyrsus ᚎ
 with Mesmo :

(Alternative, experimental, ritual)

Hi folks!  I am a tender youth ..age 76…! …been playing since i was 15 years old...love all kinds of music from jazz and classical to pop and rock..as long as it is music with love and soul i don´t care...
Played in a few bands , for a while semi-professional and also played a lot alone,  in the streets in Europe and Canada and as entertainer in pubs, clubs, social gatherings etc. Know a lot of songs! 

 Now retired i have taken as my special niche to interprete ( note, not cover! ) songs from all genres and giving them new dress and soul and hopefully injecting them with new life...  and now and then i sneak in a song of my own...
It´s become quite successful!  i am on Facebook, Youtube, Fandalism and here on SC... my Fandalism songs soon number 500 songs and they have been viewed/listened to by over 2 million people/times !   Far beyond my imagination!   I have no commercial interests or dreams ..just do it for fun and my own satisfaction and to communicate with people all over the world is stimulating!

My main instrument is guitar, the last 10 years i have concentrated on acoustic guitar, fingerpicking, slide etc. I try a lot of open tunings and also experiment in sounds and styles.. but my other main instrument is my voice, been a singer all my life , try a lot of harmony singing and arranging that ....arranging and mixing mainly in Cubase...
The last years i have started doing collabs with musical friends too, people from Brazil, USA,France and Sweden so far..very stimulating and interesting...
 
Keep swinging!

Welcome here to all music lovers and thanks for your support 🎈 

[ 🛎️ Important information (October 2024) :
I’m distributed now on other - more mainstream - platforms where you’re very WELCOME TOO !
You will hear on them some songs that were here but in remastered and more efficient versions.
And also some of my new stuff in the future !!

However I keep my Soundcloud especially for fantastic colleagues and public I’ve met here, and I hope I have time to publish soon some others of my more alternative, raw and low-fi tracks ! ]


Multi- styles composer,  guitarist , bassist and author / singer, I present here a blend of very different songs or instrumentals, recorded on more than three decades

        So you can find here ones with my rock band  The CATS BLEED, who had a bit of success in France in the mid nineties.
 Some with GOLDEN AGE , an Anglo-French pop-folk duet in the mid 2000s.
And some totally solo as LOONY in the early 2000s or later
 Or BRUNO C for my first compositions, from mid 80’s to 90’s
