Hmmm, I married my wild woman...had nothing to lose...unfortunately, my best musical partner...no longer with me...but ain't never nothin to lose when love is a going concern. As for me, well now,  I do got the blues...my answer to your question would now 'be heck yeah..dgot the blues. Good track yes!

Time Settles - Lyrics 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

Strange Part of the Country

Time Settles

If I Can't  Make You Love Me Instrumental Feat. Joe Munroe with Zannman

The Chaconne is about humanity stuck in the paradoxical cycles we are seeing in 2023, of both experiencing and denying a climate change crisis, of coming together to both solve and disrupt solutions, of corporate shareholders both forcing and holding back adaptation, of the living creatures both rising to the occasion and losing repeatedly because efforts may be too little and too late.

Ecclesiastes Ch. 3  : 
There is a time for everything, and a season for everything under the sun:  a time to be born and a time to perish, a time to plant and a time to uproot,  a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance…

  The musicians playing here are:
Rachel Harding Klaus, violin 1
Hai-Xin Wu, violin 2
Michael Chen, viola 1
Jasper Zientek, viola 2
Damon Coleman, violoncello
Rick Robinson, double bass
Mike List, percussion

Every Time You Go Away Zannman ReMix Feat Company of Thieves

Glen Campbell recorded this song, often touted as the best country ballad of all time in 1968 when I was a high school freshman. Little did I know that 20 years later Glen would become my publisher and that I would get to record with an All Star background choir in Nashville in 1990.  Now and then inspiration and magic strikes like lightening. This is my tribute to Glen, who among several other Nashville legends mentored me and influenced everything I have done since as a songwriter, producer, artist, and recording professional. God Bless You Glen- may you sing and play with God's Angels..  Chris

4TheMoment Feat Lecily Mckee Renee Austin David Eiland Michael Bland Bob Glaub Dave Barry & Zannman

On a day Sunny day at The Cabin South in Nashville Tennessee?  Stella, Karen & me had an amazing day.  Some days in a persons life are just pure magic. This one with Sister Stella, & Karen most certainly were in my very Blessed life...       And yes Stella is Dolly's youngest Sister.  This is what two Angels of God with powerful Sister voices can make us feel.  I was just the inspired guy in the room...

Zannman and The Warehouse Barbarians take it down south with a bit of what Michael B. calls "gut bucket" music-- yep, some Tony Joe White styled Polk Salad Annie evocative Country Blues that sounds like its down Louisiana way but is, like all Barbarians wackiness, written, performed and recorded here in "Minneanapolis". Margaret Cox (Tamara & The Scene Everybody Dance Now) produced Zannman's vocal and she and Billy Franze laid down the cool as shit background vocals at The Cabin. Kevin Bowe's syncopated Taylor Acoustic guitar got us in the mood, Donnie L. Laid in the Trem Rhodes over Andy Dee's vintage dobro and the result in 6 minutes or so was a live performance that Bluesman Zannman had to funk along with Michael B on bass and solid four's.  Then after watching two hours of Buddy Guy & Johnny Lang on PBS last night had to lay down some dirty Strat rhythm on it. Andy Dee and Tim Greenwood were Zannman's writing partners-in-crime for this tale of a man newly out of the joint in search of his next wild, dangerous woman....

Nothin' To Lose feat. Zannman, Tamara, Billy Franze, Michael Bland, Andy D,  Donnie L & Kevin Bowe

Written by amazing tap guitarist Billy McLaughlin, his performance was recorded at The Cabin in St. Paul in 2009. The rest of us piled on to what was originally titled "Mountain Fog", but was recently re-named by Billy as "Back From the Brink", while driving back from a gig at The Brink lounge in Madison, Wisconsin. It is also metaphoric of his ongoing battle to overcome Focal Dystonia and continue to play music for as long as possible. Please watch any of  TPT2 performances of Starry Night or follow other posts of Billy on YouTube and Facebook to find out more about Focal Distonia.  A portion of the proceeds of the sales of Back From the Brink will be forwarded to a charity of Billy's choice supporting research on his condition. -Zannman
