Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, drums, synth sax, synth bass, composition, and arrangement 
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–ehru 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – lap steel

This ripe piece of funk started with JJ essentially composing it on the e. Piano, organ, drums, synth sax, ands synth bass. He had the Eclectic Collective in mind when he did so, though. JJ actually is playing his drum kit on this one, so funkily that we decided to keep his drums in there. That didn't leave a whole lot of room for Ken to get in on it, but he managed to add a really cool ehru part. The ehru is a two stringed Asian violin with a distinct high percussive sound. JJ's bass line was so well played and solid, we decided to keep it in there, too, which also left Josh searching for a place in the mix. He decided to go last with the lap slide to anchor the foundation of the blues idiom. But he did that after Stephen and Tez cast their spells on the song with their magical guitars. Tez can be heard with the trippy, delay-heavy staccato lines, and Stephen with the silky smooth crying blues lines throughout. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great mixer and producer, and we're lucky enough to have Stephen to do the honors on this one for us.
  This song represents The Eclectic Collective at our funky finest, and we always enjoy and appreciate when JJ starts a song for us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
  If you really dig it, and have read the whole way to the bottom, please consider sharing this, too. We all appreciate your ears and support.

Dizzy's Song

Here is a demo with added vocals recorded today 4 Sep 2024 by myself, of my song LOST IN THE LIGHT.
 I used to sing and play the piano many ages ago jazz standards and Evergreens at my gigs and events, Hey! I even had some concerts!

     However, this is after 40 minutes of rehearsing only, and I recorded sitting with my laptop on my lap with my Airpods :) 

Here's a challenge! Because I know I like a good challenge! 😉

I have a list of people who want to sing this song,

So here's your chance to send me your demo. You can forward it here on SoundCloud. (You can find the track of the piano from this recording here on SoundCloud)

And then we will see what's going to happen.

Thanks 

Enjoy!  😊


( I've done some mastering on the vocal track, I am currently a rookie but I am a fast learner But for the 4th, or 5th time in my life doing that, it doesn't sound the worst I guess. 😁😁😁

Lyrics;
Be careful how you spend it
Time's worth more than gold
She's gone you can't rescind it
Can't cage what you can't hold

The chain so easily broken
At the weakest link
Now both of us are free
I don't know what to think

She is going her own way
And I am going mine
Without negotiation
Just wasn't worth her time

The ring a hollow token
Of all I hoped would be
Glad she didn't see my face
Walking away from me

Maybe it's a lucky break
I don't need to settle down
There's plenty of adventures
And new treasures to be found

The full moon slinks away
Dimmer goes the light
I slip into the darkness
And wander through the night

Be careful how you spend it
Time's worth more than gold
She's gone you can't rescind it
Can't cage what you can't hold

So heavy on your mind
Let go those memories
Find out what's ahead
Whatever was was not to be

She was going her own way
I am going mine
No negotiation
Guess it wasn't worth her time

Be careful how you spend it
Time's worth more than gold
She's gone you can't rescind it
Can't cage what you can't hold

What You Can't Hold

Dear friends - this is a little song to my dear brother - in - law on his Birthday.
We wish him a Happy Birthday


Kjell’s visa (Kjell’s Song)

Lyrics in English

In the middle of a burning war, a little boy was born
and after a few years
he becomes a tall and stately man
and he loves nature
and takes care of everyone who flies
but the most important thing for him
is the wife and grandchildren and children


Lyrics in Swedish

Mitt under brinnande krig en liten gosse kom till världen
och efter några år
han blir till en lång och ståtlig man
och han älskar naturen
och tar hand om alla som flyger
men det viktigaste för han
är frun och barnbarn och barn
