Such a bittersweet song with a touching vocal!

Your escalation is so spot on, and selection of granularity and tone in your voice sounds well thought out too

Beautiful piano play. Melodies are smooth.

You kinda sound like David Gilmour to me.. love it

Wake Up!

Mud In The Jar

To get this song you (perhaps)need a brief history lesson.  On Frank Zappa's 1969 "Hot Rats" Lp there was a track called "Willie the Pimp".  This isn't a remake but a retelling.   

It has been in the works for (3) days and I thought it good enough to just post.  Perhaps I'll fine tune a bit more.  I'm sure I could do a much better guitar solo.  Or maybe I'll just move on.  Either way.... I hope you enjoy it.  Comments & suggestions are always welcome.  Thanks

"Blues for Willie"

Meet me at the corner 
With a $20 bill.

Standing in the Lobby
Of the Lido Hotel

A Pimp
Hot Rats

Blues for Willie

How I Wish You Two Had Met
by Anton Etch 2021 
- a rough tape from the 'Simple & Strange' series -

How I wish you two had met
you in red house coat and cigarette
long gray hair at the top of the stairs
or spread across your arm chair

You with wisdom, she with intellect
you in red housecoat and cigarette
you'd ask her what's going on
what's going on - what's really going on
 
You'd ask her what she really thought
no, really thought, yeah, really thought..
you'd hear in ways that others don't
you'd let her speak like others wont
 
You'd talk of Biko and John and Yoko
the stuck pig, the tin of Joko
women's brains and men's brains
reverse parking and shedding chains
 
You'd snub the boys for their foolishness
you'd dismiss the boys for their cluelessness
you'd get Jono to carry the gingerbread
you'd get Adrian to show us how it's done

You quizzed the girls and made them cry
but she would look you in the eye and 
say you're a girl too - what would you do?     what should I do?

You'd talk about how strong women
kickasses with their minds
turn heads and break glasses
and know how to deal with passes

How you should study things you don't want to know
and say things that just won't go
and go broad and go deep
and call them out and make them weep

And when she pecked you on the cheek
you'd ask "why so peripheral?"
and when she talked of her plans
you'd ask "why so peripheral?"

Two women across oceans
across time across devotions
no overlap in time or place
but kindreds in a fifth space

How I wish you two had met
in your red house coat and cigarette
long gray hair at the top of the stairs
or spread across your arm chair

You with wisdom, she with intellect
you in red housecoat and cigarette
you'd help her see what's going on
what's going on - what's really going on

How I Wish You Two Had Met

THIS RECORDING MIXED AND MASTERED BY WOODS STUDIO

Sometime ago
A year or so
You told me not to care
Said it’s just fun
And when we’re done
There’d be nothing more for you to share

Tell me your secret
I’ll never repeat it
When did you lose your heart?
Tell me your secret
I promise to keep it
Now that we’re far apart

I try and fail
I fall and flail
The bruises heal so slow
But you stay strong
Through right and wrong
There has to be something I don’t know

Tell me your secret
I’ll never repeat it
Is your heart lost for good
Tell me your secret
I promise to keep it
Would you bring it back if you could?

Sometime ago
A year or so
I tried and failed to not care…

Cover_Waiting On You

Frozen era (Instrumental)

SPOTLIGHT:  Following a tradition that may only exist in my mind, albums should have 12 tracks. So with Sexagenarian II now "complete," it's time move onto Sexagenarian III! First track - me at my most synth pop-py, BAD IDEA.   

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!). And I never really stopped (just a decade or so hiatus when life got busy around the turn of the century). These are mostly "solo" recordings (my brother has helped sometimes). As for the "albums", the years in the album name reflect an imaginary release date for the imaginary albums on an imaginary record label. For more detail, click on my IG link below. I haven't done much there yet, but I will, I promise. Fingers crossed. Thanks for listening, nice and not nice feedback always welcome.
