@user-138663860 thanks Sandy, I'm travelling at the moment, but when I get back home I'll send you a private message. You may like to do one of the old timey songs together as a collaboration with me sometime in 2022. 😊

Ticks all the boxes for me and then some.

Fabulous... This is sounding like from a bygone era, just as a traditional like this should...

Anam Hermit: words, voice, vocal recording

I became obsessed with a certain Italian TV show, and the possibilities of Italian Hip Hop. Thanks to Anam for making a musical fantasy come true.

Calami La Lampo (with Anam Hermit)

Night Flight

Eyes on the prize and the latest lies …. he said
Lead us on to the bridge of highs…. he said
Milk and honey, follow the money … …he said
Giving up the ghost of the Sunday roast… … he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

Offering the lamb for the latest scam…he said
And it came to pass, following the ass…he said
Disciples scream as he’s selling the dream…he said
Playing the clown as the people drown…he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

On your side with the mockery of pride… he said
Believe in me and the land of the free… he said
Onward Faustian soldiers march… he said
In the theatre absurd, he doesn’t mean a word he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

C (me): guitars, voice, stuff
M (@allopenelectrics): selling the sax...

... Easter with toothache, but now pain-free, thanks to antibiotics :-) ... so I can devote myself to somewhat morbid humour and use molars as scatter patterns :-D ... I hope this blues is not as bad as my tooth ! Anyway, the Electronic Wind Controller is useful for problems of this kind, you don't have to blow so hard ;-)

molar blues

I *absolutely* loved these @km-songs lyrics when I first read them, and also had a feeling they'd work well as a duet. So I enlisted the help of the brilliant Serene Sunderland (@user-846248422), who has made the song about a million times better with her presence. Musically, I was aiming for something Gershwin-y, but it's ended up in Randy Newman territory. Ah well...

LYRICS © 2023 Kristi McKeever

Would you sing the alphabet
Backwards from Z
Make up a dance
Try to impress me

Would you keep a secret
If I told you one
Play a few games
Have a little fun

[ch]
You say absolutely
I say all right
You say certainly
All day, all night
It would be a pleasure
An honor, delight
You say absolutely
I say all right

Would you take a ride
On a tandem bike
Go treasure hunting
In the countryside

Would you save the last piece
Of chocolate cake
Stay up for a chat
Watch the daybreak

[ch]
You say absolutely
I say all right
You say certainly
All day, all night
It would be a pleasure
An honor, delight
You say absolutely
I say all right

[br]
You’re never old when you’re being bold
Never tired if you’re inspired
State of mind is all we have
So why not play and share a couple laughs

Repeat ch

Absolutely (feat. Serene Sunderland)
