Thank you for joining me on another attempt at music. 
This track is to counter some of the doom and gloom that has taken over my mind.
When you look at the statistics of poverty, crime, and human misery, the numbers show that life is getting better for most people. 

lyrics:
no waste
no war
no lonely
no poor
no disease
no crime sprees
enemies

it may seem like
out of our sight
never closer 
than this very night.

you dont have to imagine
all the pieces are in place
love will hold us
science will save

yes peace
yes trees
yes equality
yes love
yes clean free energy
we will rise up
like everyone in time
never closer 
than this very night.

Such an honor to be invited again to collaborate with Seagull, a wonderful musician and creator who challenges me to reach beyond my usual genre of music to add to his.  This time it is to join him in a place of rest for the heart away from the turmoil that fills the headlines.  We ask you to join us too for a few brief minutes.
More of Seagull's lovely music can be heard @farout-music-studio

One of Nature's sweetest fragrances, rain-washed air.  What a delight and honor to join Dan-DT, Clara, and Seagull in making this fragrant aural experience, and my maiden voyage into Dan's lovely genre of French Fantasy more of which can be heard @dan-t-3.  Seagull's lovely music can be heard here @farout-music-studio.

How wonderful it is to work with skilled guitarist and synth artist Seagull and ace guitarist Ed Cunningham on our tribute to the night sky; a favorite pastime of mine in years gone by. I was once an avid amateur astronomer (still have my telescope), until I got caught up in the guitar universe and this wonderful place called Soundcloud.  I still manage to get out now and then to capture a little starlight.  Hear more of Seagull's fine productions @farout-music-studio and Ed's beautiful guitar music @westtracksmusic

Just Getting By

Now in the land of milk and honey 
In the home of the free and the brave  
It’s a time of feast or famine  and your worth equals your pay 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why
  Work hard all your life but still just getting by
Still just getting by

Well now, do you have or have you not 
Its the question of the day  
And your answer will determine
 If you’re out or got it made 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why
  Work hard all your life but still just getting by 
Still just getting by 
Yea

¯\_(ツ)_/¯  solo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

The bills they just keep coming  
The prices they all rise
 World you used to know before  crumbles by and by  
The same olds never ending
 But the dream keeps you alive  
Till you finely you realise 
That that dreams a lie

Oh, do what you can hope for the best  
Who knows you might win lotto yet  
Life a gamble and you know it’s true  
When one man wins the others lose 
Your lifes defined right from the start  
So get in line and do your part  
Buck the system if you dare 
But it’s dog-eat-dog so just beware 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why  
Work hard all your life but still just getting by
 Still just getting by 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why  
Work hard all your life and still just getting by
Still just getting by
Bye bye, still just getting by
Bye bye, still just getting by 
Yea

Quietude in the midst of chaos, confusion, uncertainty, and restlessness; Seagull captures an Eden-like vision of tranquility and reflection.  It also came with a surprise he kept securely under his hat; I would be joined in the collaboration with him by two of my favorite SC artists, Ed Cunningham and Dan-t, masters of their genre. I didn't know until he unveiled the finished product.  My approach turned out to be "less is more" so I show up to the party fashionably late at just past the 2:00 mark, but what a lovely party...and vision.  I hope you think so too. Seagull also gave sight to the sound which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxFYED8OEeQ Hear more fine music from these maestros:

The Quietude (Seagull, Ed Cunningham, Dan-t, David Dunham)

What began as a prosaic comment evolved into an enriching collaboration.  Our friend and Soundcloud poet laurate Peter joins us on a fishing voyage.  Seagull, not content to do a simple voice over, remixes the track and places us on a fishing boat, the sea a bit rough, the gulls impatient for part of the catch, and Peter not just reading but dynamically narrating what he is experiencing on the deck of the ship.  What an honor to work with these artists enlarging on our previous collaboration.  Please check out more of Seagull's music @farout-music-studio, and Peter's poignant songs and poetry @user-264930040

My sanctuary from archive gleans
The gentle times, wherein my mind
Recalls a childhood spent in dreams
Of bobbing boats on ocean spied.

Here, the call of a benevolent sea
The briny, perfumed honesty
Of adolescent memories.

But whence this salty desert sea
Where once the skinny trawler plied?
Plastic water ocean streams
Where finny, swimmy fish should lie.

Silenced of the chuggy motors
Decimated by their quotas
Where the haddock, cod and herring bloaters?

The factory ships that hoovered clean
Of scaly friends the sea main wide.
Its cheaply speckled high protein
Squandered as the herring gull cried.

Where the fishers, where the boats?
Where the nets, and yellow rubber coats?
Where the pots, and lines and corky floats?

...wherein my mind
Recalls a childhood spent in dreams
Of bobbing boats on ocean spied.
Why, they set sail for the past it seems,
Upon tomorrow's ebbing tide.

Childhood Memory--Updated (Seagull, David, and featuring Peter)

Winter's chill has given way to warmer days.  It's time to go for a morning ride whether on a bike or a balloon.  If you have to be inside, let us take you along.  Curtis' playing (left-center) is unerring and superb in this revisited improv session we had a few years back.

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
