Hideaway

Hideaway is a guitar player’s standard and many of us playing in the later 1960’s played our versions at gigs and for exercise. 
It seems to have started life a long time ago as a stroll through the guitar player’s bag of licks woven together into a natty little tune, passing through many hands and popularised by Freddie King whose version is here:

This version is my take on Eric Clapton’s technically perfect, amped up and up-tempo version which was a showcase for his dexterity and earned him the gunslinger sobriquet ‘Slowhand’. It also established the sound of the Gibson Les Paul guitar.
The John Mayall /Eric Clapton version is here:

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

I am a proud mother of one stepson, one stepdaughter, two natural daughters are you ready for this? I have six grandbabies. With hopefully more to come. If I have ever told you that I love you that simply means that I will always love you.

Just like writing songs.

Downloads are still free.

I knew at an early age that music would be a part of my life forever. In music I found my self-esteem and a way to make people feel. I began singing in public at nine years old and playing drums at thirteen.  In the tenth grade I auditioned to play drums and percussion with the South Georgia College and got the "gig". I performed in many musical productions there until I graduated high school and joined the army.  I continued performing in the NCO clubs while serving.
After obtaining the G.I. Bill I attended the University of South Carolina, where I played with several local bands. In 1982 I graduated college and taught special education until retirement last May. There, I witnessed the magic of music through my students.
I now enjoy the peace and solitude of a farm in the middle of "God's Country" here in Tennessee. With much help from family and friends, I am able to share my original songs with you.
I sincerely thank you for taking a bit of your time with me. I hope you receive a blessing from a song or two and as you listen, I hope you hear my heart in each and every one.  Tony
