Silky smooth, upbeat vibes. Great collab, all involved.

The love is good and your song is very good too Jussi

Another winner Bruce!  So very well done.

I created a video for this. To watch it go to: https://youtu.be/WRMXCoEO_LA?si=fzZ-Q0xR2UcAF6Th

I am in increasing pain every day because my spine is a mess. Playing the piano is one of the most painful things I do. It sucks the oxygen out of the room. I don't let it beat me. The day before I recorded this I had steroid shots in my mid back, hoping it would give me a little relief. That day I had no pain. I sat at the piano for 5 hours working on music because it was such a joy. It lasted for a day and a half.  It was supposed to be weeks. anyone with chronic pain for years knows what this is like. I can only lay back on pillows for so many hours each day. I am not complaining. It is what it is. Arthritis in my hands would be worse and I have none of that. But this day - this one day was wonderful. I had asked the doctor for one day. That is what I got. W.e have to fight for the things we love.Music gives me the energy to keep going,  Who knows what these hands will produce. I don't have to be the best. I need only be the best I can be.

A Garden of Roses

Pathétique: 2nd Movement

A diminutive woman in her 7th decade, Laurie is a dynamo of personality and energy living an outsized life as she still works, loves to travel, and when home, playing in our church band as a guitarist and sharing music as a multi-instrumentalist.  She is also a personal hero in how she powered through chemo, invasive surgery, then radiation to arrest the progress of a rare cancer.  She would tell you it was by the Grace of God, but I would quickly add He worked in concert with her faith and "joie de vivre" of which she has an abundance.  Not knowing what to give her for her birthday and Christmas (a month apart), I gave her a song with her band nickname as the title.  For you, "Laurie Lou" my dear friend, guitar sister, and bandmate:)

I just don’t know
What is it that you bring to this.
I just don’t know
What is it that I offer. 

If we could answer 
questions just like these.
I just can’t see
What is it that we offer…

All we are  
Is all that we can be…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl
When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl

All we are  
Is all that we can be…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl

I just don’t know
What is it that you bring to this.
I just don’t know
What is it that I offer.

Le minutieux et très économe Monsieur Radin

Nouveau film de Fetchflix sur vos écrans bientôt

Synopsis du film:
Justin Radin, comptable de formation et responsable des plans d’affaires pour l’entreprise Bidouille & fils, était spécialiste des coûts de fabrication et d’assemblage. Tout était calculé au centime près et les achats étaient optimisés à la perfection en plus d’être minimisés. Mais voilà, ses nouveaux patrons, des milléniaux nées avec un iPhone 18 Pro Super Max dans leurs mains et accros des réseaux sociaux comme Swiffer, Analphabet et FakeBook lui ont montré la direction de la retraite « BIEN MÉRITÉE » disaient-ils. Disons plutôt un bel exemple d’âgisme. Justin Radin a économisé toute sa vie pour ses vieux jours, mais n’était pas prêt à profiter de sa retraite en plus de ne plus savoir comment dépenser et se faire plaisir. Heureusement, il fait la rencontre de la très charmante et dépensière Mercedes, qui de toute évidence changera sa vie.

« Cette histoire est une œuvre de fiction. Toute ressemblance avec des personnes réelles, vivantes ou décédées, ou avec des événements réels, serait purement fortuite. Et pour ceux qui ne l'auraient pas compris, Fetchflix TV est également une fiction. »

New Fetchflix movie coming soon

Film synopsis:
Justin Radin, an accountant by training and responsible for business plans for the company Bidouille & fils, was a specialist in manufacturing and assembly costs. Everything was calculated to the nearest cent and purchases were perfectly optimized in addition to being minimized. But there you have it, his new bosses, millennials born with an iPhone 18 Pro Super Max in their hands and addicted to social networks like Swiffer, Analphabet and FakeBook showed him the direction of “WELL-DESERVED” retirement, they said. Let’s rather call it a fine example of ageism. Justin Radin saved his entire life for his old age, but was not ready to enjoy his retirement, in addition to no longer knowing how to spend and treat himself. Fortunately, he meets the very charming and spendthrift Mercedes, who will clearly change his life.

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.”

Hypnagogia : the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. 

I have been continuing my mixing practice and trying to get better piano sounds with this one.

Thanks to Chris Adams for his creative input and for teaching me how valuable it is to take a step back now and again to evaluate my work before making any changes.  Thank you also Chris for polishing up my final master copy and making it "sparkle".

Hypnagogia

My maternal grandmother's cousin, Bill, had a lifelong interest in magic. It all began during his childhood when he had the flu. A friend taught him a few card tricks to help pass the time, and from that moment on, he was captivated and dedicated himself to perfecting his skills. In 1929, shortly after college, Bill joined the Society of American Magicians, hoping to make magic his career. His parents were concerned and did not approve of their son becoming a magician and entertainer. They encouraged him to give up magic and follow his father into the insurance business. He tried it for a while, but the allure of magic was too strong, and he eventually became a professional magician. Throughout the 1940s and 50s, he was constantly touring, performing a wide variety of illusions alongside well-known entertainers of the era, as well as his wife, who was his onstage assistant. Sadly, after many years, magic and fame became an unhealthy obsession that took a significant toll on Bill and his family. However, in the beginning, it brought him a sense of wonder and adventure. This piece aims to capture those early years.

We're taking a parallel vacation
We’ll Fly
Our compass has truly lost it's way…. today.
If you could wire me at convenient times
Why why why
We could be sharing all our days 
These days go by
Bye Bye baby bye-bye
Bye Bye baby bye-bye

We're taking a parallel vacation
Are compass has truly lost its way...today

With a different itinerary
We might be heading home
With a different outlook now
We could be falling back in love again.

We are taking a parallel vacation
We’ll Fly
Our compasses has truly lost their way…. today.
If you could wire me at convenient times
We could be sharing all our days
These day's go by 
Bye Bye baby bye-bye

Parallel Vacation (Conover/Steen)

Just up the path was 
Travis corner
Fully replete with cakes and treats
All we needed was air 
All we wanted was sunshine
Where is the sunshine
I fell in love with you that fall.
And all you wanted was Paul on your lunchbox
Paul on your notebook too
George and Ringo add nothing to your world
and John was acting a bore
In 1964 
Just up the path was 
Travis corner
That was the center of our world
All we needed was freedom
And we're all waiting for sunshine
Where is the sunshine
I fell in love with you that fall
and all you wanted was Paul 
George and Ringo add nothing to your world
and John was acting a bore
Yes John was acting a boy
In 1964 

Do you remember? Do you.........

Travis Corner 1964   (Conover/Steen)

In the  morning you bring me my coffee in a special tarnished mug,
And when you fry up some eggs inside a copper pan with love   
As I scribe a check to the paperboy with my
Mont Blanc Pen  
Life is good it's so sentimental
When you're rich as hell
And when the markets are starting to tumble it tends to blemish the spell.   

I bought a car 
I only drive it weekends 
Somehow I forgot to put the top up.
And it's filling up with snow  

Life is good it's so sentimental
When you're rich as hell
And when the markets are starting to tumble it tends to blemish the spell.
Life is good it's so sentimental
When you're rich as hell
And when the markets are starting to tumble it tends to blemish the spell.  
 

In the evening you bring me the stories of our children as they grow
And then it's off to bed with there faces happy and aglow
Life is good it's so sentimental
When you're rich as hell
And when the markets are starting to tumble it tends to blemish the spell. 
Life is good it's so sentimental
When you're rich as hell
And when the markets are starting to tumble it tends to blemish the spell.

Tarnished Mug (Conover & Steen)

She’s smack dab in the middle. 
She's in a very precarious place.  
This week she brought on thunder 
But somehow….. She's keeps a smile on her face 
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon

Love is Good.. It's in there

Love Is Inside Of You (Conover Steen & Welin)

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
