It is wonderful when a previously released song has enough potential energy to be released as a new song in a different genre.  So it is with this song first inspired by Thommo last spring in a collaboration with him and Ren Faye called "Dream Catching".  I liked the initial soundscape and guitar parts enough that I wanted to do a separate acoustic release under a different title.  Debra Buesking's definitive artistry entered the picture when we were teasing ideas for another collaboration.  I submitted this to her, she loved it, and now graces it with her superb playing, actually re-inventing the song.  More of her fine music can be heard @debra_buesking 
Imagine a windswept veranda. a couple dancing to distant thunder, passions building and breaking as the storm approaches.  The original is much different, more Celtic and ethereal and can be heard here as well as Thommo's other amazing productions: soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes/dream-catching-feat-david-dunham-and-ren-faye

Dancing On The Veranda (Thommo, Debra Buesking, David Dunham)

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.

Quiétude:

Quiétude qui es-tu ?
Quiétude de qui es-tu épris ?
Quiétude qui étudies-tu ?
Quiétude que dis tu ?
Quiétude qui te tue dis ?.. le mépris ?

--------
Quietness 
Quietness who are you?
Quietness Who are you in love with?
Quietness  Whom do you study?
Quietness what is it that you say?
Quietness Who is it that kills you ?... contempt ?

Having benefitted from many generous SC artists' Open Collaborations in the past, I have decided to upload my own.

It is a simple guitar, bass and drums turnaround, repeated three times. Complicate it as much as you'd like, or just use it to jam to as you please

Be good

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.
