hey Chuck, great job, i love it, great guitar work and vocal.

you did a fabulous guitar picking effort . revisited this one this morning

So beautiful. Voice and guitar in a very nice harmony ;)

You play so well Chuck....makes me a little envious...ha

What a great tune, melody, and terrific playing!!!

Wonderful, warm, crisp cover with your own special sauce added to make it all that much more of an enjoyable listen.

Great job with the guitar part Chuck and always love your earthy, mellow vocal. Very few (if any) could keep up with Tony, RIP.

Great to listen to this one again, Chuck. Beautiful pickin' and croonin', Good Buddy.

Funny Kind of Sad

Different Set of Rules

I first heard this tune from the great Tony Rice (bluegrass flat picker). I immediately wanted to pick it and I immediately realized that I was no
Tony and just could not keep up with him.  I still love this tune and had to slow it way down and adapt.   Just picking and singing.

A rough English translation
Huh!
Can you hear that?
A guy on a moped
Climbing the hill
To see his girlfriend
It does my head in

Always in first gear
Move it youngster
Put your exhaust pipe back on
Leave me alone
Ya breaking my ears
With that dam hum


Le Mec Sur La Pétrolette.

Ah ben dis donc
Ça... tu entends?
Le mec sur la pétrolette
Il monte la colline
Pour voir sa copine
Mais ça me donne mal à la tête

En première vitesse 
Roulez jeunesse
Remets le pot d’échappement
Fous-moi la paix
Tu me casses les oreilles
J’en ai marre d’entendre ta ronflette

Errrrrrrrmmmm
I think he’s on his way
Errrrrrmmmmm
Must love that girl, anyway
Squiddly deet dat doot doo dat
You know that where I’m at
Squiddly deet dat doot doo dat doot day

Ça… tu entends?
Poile au bidon 
C’est le mec sur la pétrolette

En première vitesse 
Roulez jeunesse
Remets le pot d’échappement
Fous-moi la paix
Tu me casses les oreilles
J’en ai marre d’entendre ta ronflette

Squiddly deet dat doot doo dat 
Doot doot dat, doot doot dat, doot  dat 
Doot doot dat, doot  squiddly do dat do day 
Errrrrrmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, that’s all I got to say

Le Mec Sur La Pétrolette

A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

An old tune of mine I often come back to. It always comes out a little different each time. Played this time on a Burns SJ12 12 string guitar.

Strathrea (Autumn 2020)

Hello @ all, here is a piece created spontaneously, just by playing with synths and rhythm machines and alot of filters, once experimental once a lot of fun 😉
I wish you much pleasure while listening!
Cheers

NOVA ILUSÃO

No rarear dos deuses e dos mitos
Deuses antigos, vós ressuscitais
Sob a forma longínqua de ideais
Aos enganados olhos sempre aflitos.

Do que vós concebeis mais circunscritos,
Desdenhais a alma exterior dos ritos
E o sentimento que os gerou guardais.

Lá para além dos seres, ao profundo
Meditar, surge, grande e impotente
O sentimento da ilusão do mundo.

Os falsos ideais do Aparente
Não o atingem — único final
Neste entenebrecer universal.

Fernando Pessoa

Nova ilusão

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
