MIX/MASTER: Woods Studio

NOTE: This tune came to me three days after the news of Burt Bacharach's passing. I dedicate the song to the great man's memory. 

LYRIC
Why watch the clock 
Count hours by the minute
I may be wrong but for right now
We have to live in the present
Let’s let the sky show us how

It has the signposts giving us guidance
And even if at times they hide  
We know they’re there inside or out

Good morning, good night
And that’s not to slight
A good afternoon
Twenty four hours of
Shining upon our love 
Are the sun and moon

Sometimes the times are some of the best
And sometimes they’re best forgotten
Who knows what this the day has got in store
  
Good evening, good day 
And may I just say
We work hard at fun
Climb in and out of bed
While always overhead
The moon and sun

Awake, asleep and so in love
Our besties hang above
Reality it seems  
Is a galaxy of dreams

All day and night
As gravity pulls us
Toward the core of [our] existence
What’s the use trying to fight it
That wouldn’t make any sense at all

Good morrow my dear
At last it’s here
Not a minute too soon
And not a minute late
For us to celebrate
With the sun and moon

Good morning, good night
la di da da
Hang loose, sleep tight
la di da da
Just stay in sight
Day and night, endlessly  
For me you’ll always be the sun…and moon

The Sun And Moon

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

But sometimes SC will show me all the listeners , but other times they only show me the last 2 hours and I have no idea of who listened to what , it is so annoying , and I apologise if I miss anyone out , it's not deliberate , I value every single one of my listeners ! Self confessed Music Addict ! I write and play/vocalise everything myself whether it be real or synthetic . Recently teamed up with Charlotte Thornton , and together we are Charlie and the Fox , it's the best thing I have ever done musically . Char has an outstanding voice , writes amazing lyrics and comes up with melodies I would never have dreamed of , it's a partnership that works so well , and long may it continue !

Hi, my name is Jonas!
Not far from Gothenburg, Sweden

Yoshimayo’s music is characterized by a dreamy, experimental, and introspective fusion, blending soft electronic sounds with acoustic and organic elements. Although he remains relatively under the radar in mainstream circuits, what makes his music unique can be described through several dimensions:

🎼 Musical Characteristics of Yoshimayo:
Delicate and deep sound textures:
He creates highly immersive atmospheres, sometimes bordering on ambient music or electronic post-rock. The sound layers evolve slowly, producing an almost cinematic effect.

Emotional minimalism:
Few elements are enough to express a great deal. His music plays with the unsaid, with space and silence, often evoking an inner poetry.

Fragile and nostalgic melodies:
Melodic lines are often simple, almost childlike, yet always tinged with subtle melancholy. They evoke memories, daydreams, or meditative states.

Organic-electronic fusion:
Yoshimayo manages to blend synthetic elements (pads, drones, glitches) with classical instruments (piano, strings, soft percussion) without sounding artificial.

DIY / artisanal aesthetic:
The production sometimes intentionally sounds "handmade," yet with great care. This brings an authenticity that contrasts with the industrial standards of electronic music.

✨ What Makes Yoshimayo Unique:
A sonic identity that is recognizable within the first few seconds, without being showy.

An ability to evoke gentle, intimate, and contemplative emotions, far from mainstream conventions.

A rejection of the spectacular, which gives his music a quiet strength.

A coherent artistic direction, often accompanied by minimalist and poetic visuals.

Your basic, dopy guitarist, I've been playing all my life. Released 1st album, recorded in 2010, half-ass released and haphazardly introduced on fazebuuk and twigger in 2013.  It was a disaster.  Another.  See link for archived bannedcamp squat "splat - off the windscreen" below.  Eco-friendly "bamboo" 15gb USB also available at bandcamp.  I know.  "Laaame."  Again, link below.  I plays all instruments, sings, do my own recordings and productions, but I use outside helps with masterings.  I thinks I likes Sage Audio.  Anyway...


Playing live regularly isn't really feasible for me at this point in time, but I still love making musics. Leveraging pt8 & w^vista installed on a rusty boat anchor, Tapatíos, pet hairs, superglues and duct tapes, I'm working on a 2nd album. But, I need fund for copyrights, publishings and "all that jazz."  So buy somethings if you can.  Limited quantity. Rare. Unique.  Maybe a "splat - off the windscreen"  15gb bamboo (66% less ecocides) USB with album art.  Great for sampls, other musics, pictures or works... just don't use it for espionages.  ;)  (coming soon to a Bannedcamps near EU) Or just slip me a tips through paypals. 

My album is also available for download (I think) at CD Baby (seedy-baby to me) but, honestly, I have trouble with CD Baby and Bandcamp due to the multiple sign-ins and various accounts required.  I just get fed up and say "aw forget it." But the people at CD Baby are super nice and try really hard to help. I tell them "no, it's me. really."  I'm hopeless. =D


I appreciate you listening and checking out my soundsclouds. Very much. Thank you!!


Laugh, even if through the tears.


Collaborations warmly welcome.


I am a goof. =j

I love to hear from people  =j

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
