Alchemical [Fusion] is a haunting progressive rock epic that conjures the eerie specter of nuclear annihilation. The song's narrative is woven from the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who famously declared "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds" as he witnessed the first atomic blast. The track's haunting harmonies and driving rhythms evoke the apocalyptic consequences of nuclear war, as eerie audio clips from Harry Truman's announcement of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki eerily underscore the song's themes. Through a maelstrom of soaring guitar solos and pounding drumbeats, "Alechmical [Fusion]" probes the dark heart of humanity's most devastating creation, leaving the listener to ponder the devastating consequences of our destructive potential.

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

No One Could Steer Me Right 🌞 JTSunrise Rendition 

Merle Haggard’s iconic song “Mama Tried” delves into the pain and suffering he caused his mother due to his incarceration in San Quentin in 1957. While the song isn’t strictly autobiographical, it reflects his experiences growing up

The story behind this timeless tune:
Merle’s father passed away when he was nine years old. His mother worked tirelessly to provide for the family. Merle was a wild child. At the age of 20, he was convicted of burglary and attempted escape from county jail. His 2 1/2-year term led him to San Quentin prison, where he played in the prison’s country band and pursued high school equivalency courses and where Merle had a cosmic encounter with the Man in Black himself! 

As a 21-year-old inmate at San Quentin in 1959, Haggard witnessed Johnny Cash’s legendary prison performance as an inmate. Cash’s prison show left an indelible mark on Haggard, inspiring him not only musically but also as a beacon of redemption

Merle began his musical journey earlier in life. He was performing music before he went to prison, and after his release, he resumed working in bars and clubs. His first recording was Wynn Stewart’s “Sing a Sad Song,” which became a national hit in 1964

I saw Merle preform live when my dad VL took me to a concert at our local county fair in rural Illinois in the 1970s

Merle passed away on April 6, 2016—his 79th birthday—in the San Joaquin Valley, California. He lost a brief battle with pneumonia. Haggard’s musical legacy, spanned the 1960s to the 2010s with nearly 40 number one hits. Interestingly, he had predicted his own passing, sharing this poignant insight with his son shortly before the fateful day

The iconic song “Mama Tried” was released in July 1968. It became one of the cornerstone songs of country music, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. It won the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its cultural significance. In 2021, it was ranked at #376 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”! 🎵🌟

[Verse 1]
                D          G             D                G
The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowin'
      D                                 A7
A young un's dream of growin' up to ride
     D                     G         D                 G
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound
       D                   A7             D
No one could change my mind, but Mama tried

[Verse 2]
        D          G             D               G
One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
    D                               A7
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
          D             G                    D             G
'Despite my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
     D             A7         D
Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[Chorus]
              D                         G               D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
   Bm                                 A7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
     D                                 G             D
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin’ I denied,
                       A7                 D
That leaves me the one to blame ‘cause Mama tried

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
          D               G               D            G
Dear old Dad, rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
      D                            A7
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
          D           G           D               G
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
    D                 A7             D
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

Mama Tried - JTSunrise Meets Merle (San Quentin Prison-Acoustic Blues)

Produced by COtu

The bass and drums are based on a paradiddle (RLRR LRLL drum rudiment). I played the figure on pads, then moved the notes around various percussion instruments. The drums are mostly "linear", meaning no two notes hit at the same time. It kinda gives it a "Flim" feel. (although it sounds nothing like "Flim")

Thanks for listening

My wife Jo and I met at work, having applied for the same job and as luck would have it, we were both offered positions in the personnel department.  I was instantly attracted to her and though there was an eight year difference in age, we seemed to have a true likeness of mind, the only problem being that the two of us were in long-term relationships.  Still, this didn’t mean we couldn’t be friends and we began to spend many a happy lunch hour together. 

However, the more I got to know her, the more it became readily apparent that my feelings were much more than mere friendship.  What made every working day worthwhile were those lunch hours we’d spend together.  I simply couldn’t stop thinking about her but given our circumstances, I kept these feelings bottled up for two long years.  Eventually though, I decided to gather my courage in both hands and tell her I loved her.  To be honest, I expected to get a negative response but all she said was “We need to talk”.

We talked and talked and talked and talked about every potential eventuality but nothing ever changed the fact that I really did love her.  Despite the fact that she’d never considered the possibility of us being together, it was such a relief when she told me she was very willing to totally change the course of her life.  Talk about your heart skipping a beat…

OK, so it didn’t prove easy but neither of us has ever regretted one single thing.  Thirty five years on, we are still very much in love and this song celebrates those wonderful lunchtime meetings, sharing more and more of our feelings, growing ever close through a friendship that became a bond as close as any couple could wish to have.  We hadn’t a clue where it would go and yet here we both are.  I still cannot stop loving her.

I owe a debt of thanks to Hans and Gal who pulled out all the stops to get this song ready for Jo’s 58th birthday.  Cheers boys! (Terry Reeves)

A friendship without complications
Conversations with no need to end
No conditions between sharing moments 
Chance to smile avoid thoughts to send

Chorus:
I cannot stop, cannot stop, I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop loving the way you move
I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop hearing your loving groove 

Space between survives the madness 
Surrounding words no sense to see
Sharing stories sometimes sadness
Not knowing why we should let it be

Chorus

Surprise connection with a distance
No disagreement but avoid a close look
Cautions grow, can’t change persistence 
The fairytale of perfect stays in the book

Chorus

Lyrics:
Picture for a minute the possibility
Livin' n' givin' n' winnin' n' gettin' so free
Witness beginnings and endings n' lettin' thangs be
Let the evil of humanity plunge deep in the sea
Get the noose let it wither away
And today you n' I both know what to say
In the face of destruction that's life reduction
It has only solely one function
Target and attack wack devil on a horseback
Bout to get God-smacked yea how ya like that
Well let the Good Lord carry on
Yea bout' to crush New Babylon
And every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away
Verse 2
Picture for a minute the insanity
The depth of calamity coupled with vanity
Lost in a selfie sea ain't nobody helpin' me
That's the way it's gotta be gotta seek deep relief
And I find it right here
Find on the inside that my mind gets live
I ain't never gotta hide only hold it down n' ride
Seein' God pick a side pick a fight wrong or right
Forget the hype flashy lights fake people not my type
Got a team and we're tight ILP yea that's right
Another dope track we know you feel that
Put your fist in the air time to hit back
Cuz every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away

A song about losing sleep worrying about the abundance of global issues

Music / Production :  Andy Hall
Lyrics / Vocals : Martin Hester

Sleepless    -    The New Vigos

In the late 1940’s in the Fulham\Hammersmith area there used to be a club that would raise money for people with disabilities. The club itself would have various activities which a large number involved live music. The name itself was created by the local people who used the club as there main place of entertainment. When my mother in law told me all about it the club and its name I was sold. It seemed to suit me and my brother for so many reasons.
