@user-663478775: Thank you from both of us. I will readily say that Devin is the chord maestro on this track. He has chord forms I have yet to figure out much less compete with:)

Lovely collaboration and playing. 😊🎶

So nice and all the changes throughout really pleasant!!

very nice work here, adds so much without overwhelming what is a beautiful track

Interesting melody variations. What guitars are you both using?

No apologies... No bull shit... in your face!!!!!

Straight up old school thrash metal song that was inspired by, what I like call…. Greatest hoax every played on the world!!! Take your lives back people before we lose everything we have fought so hard to build and before the Isolation-Mancipation becomes a reality. Quit listening to all the bull shit the corporate entity is feeding you and do your own research. Ask questions and search for your own answers. Most lay right in front of your face if you just look!!!

If you don’t like what I have to say… I really don’t care! Keep being a tool of the billionaires club and one day, very soon, you are going to wake up with nothing and they will truly own the world.

Living in the past in a fanzine daze
Losing all the time with our ‘winning’ ways
Everyone will buy one just wait and see
Our fingers on the pulse, just 50p!

Sighs of disinterest from our social scene
They really want to buy one but can’t - you see …
There’s a hundred million things that they have to do
Before spending 50p on unlucky you

If I had a Kross it’d be pink, I think?
If I had a Spacehopper I’d hop, I think?
If I were a Stanley I’d die happy.
If I were a Sister, I’d be cool, probably?

Check out the beautiful arrangement of horns that Cologne's Georg Boehme plays here, as he's on flute, 2 clarinets and a bass clarinet.  Georg is a most impressive and creative orchestrator and musician - https://www.georg-boehme.de, and shows his deep knowledge of woodwinds once again. 
The groove is Latin and such a favorite of both of ours.  Follow Georg' music here:  https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Masquerade - Georg Böhme / Jamie Rhind

Devin Locke had a wonderful freeform jazz guitar track he wanted me to collaborate on.  This marvelous cluster of chord voicings with melody and bass lines weaved in and through it, I could not begin to compete with much less add to.  I did the next best thing;  I added variations to his main themes in my own style, hoping to complement his phrases.  The result is a contrast of guitar and chord voices, and melody lines from two very different perspectives.  Devin's  Noir ending is very cool in the best tradition of jazz. For more of his music and fine playing: @devin-locke

Jazz Scenario-Theme and Variations (Devin Locke, David Dunham)

This tune came out of a wonderful convergence (happy accident); my collaboration with @devin-locke on "Theme and Variations" and a renewed interest in the painting of Bob Ross. One of the variations I became so taken with, I wanted to develop it into a full track using the original steel string voice of the collaboration then adding nylon string to enlarge the melody line.  "Happy Accidents" was a favorite saying of Bob Ross as he would go about his painting on Public Television.  I saw how it applied to me in how I have composed guitar music over the years;  the unexpected note or chord I first thought a mistake became a turning point for a phrase or melody line.  Some would call it "serendipity", for Bob Ross it was a "happy accident".  If you listen closely toward the beginning, you can hear my granddaughter Lily in the background, a bit of a cameo and very much a happy accident:)

Field recording: recordings taken at the 'Anello dei Colli Euganei'. The deafening noise is the sound of leaves (only) rustling in the wind.

Sonopoem: 
'Translations

A clear geography of silver poplars 
ashes and maples surrounds this fluvial area.
A narrative of rustles, chatting loudly.
Translations. What we hear and the language
that makes it audible imply investigations 
on others’ listening modes.
We question affectivity, objects’ reverbs 
crashing into beings beyond us.
Inside those cubic metres of soil and air
noise spacialises, builds and hits. 
It neuroshapes and impacts the plasticity 
of things.
We translated our voices into exact
references and wording. Now, hear.'

A while back fine guitarist @devin-locke inspired me to revisit some of the early Miles Davis' recordings which are brilliant jazz masterpieces.  I wanted to try my hand at the style and have Devin join me if he felt so inclined.  He hasn't yet, but may do so in the future:) Anyway, a little tribute to a master...

Miles And Miles To Go

Written for my 2nd granddaughter who turned 20 last November, she is pictured here as a three year old about the time the song was first written.  It was a stylistic breakthrough for me finding its birth on a Mexican classical guitar I found at a pawn shop and bought at a bargain because it needed repair.  Shortly after the glue dried, I started playing it and the opening phrases of the song just poured out and I thought "that sounds like my Grace".  So here it is on the Godin, a song for Grace and a prayer for you.

Grace To You

I see you walking down the street
Your summer eyes, they're shinning down on me
I'm moving fast but you make time move slow
It's hard to think baby when I'm losing control

Those Friday nights in the circus
Have me acting like a fool
I swear I'm really funny
When I'm not trying to act too cool

Baby, I'm just trying to say
I'm doing the best I can
Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So take ahold of my hand

My little hunny pie
yeah my little hunny pie

They city sleeps like an angel
when you're laying next to me
can you feel it like I feel it
I need you to see that it's me you're looking for


Thanks to:

Best I Can

Angels play a huge role throughout the Biblical narrative.  They also play a role in our lives as well, probably much more than we realize...May Lemke is one such angel. I read about her years ago and her rescuing of a hopelessly disabled, premature baby she would adopt and name Leslie in an article titled "The Miracle of May Lemke's Love".  Here is a brief video of that angel telling her story.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWtZA-ZmOAM&list=PLKj3m-0NiJ6VpEOx8YE1dhsRg0umHaQ8N&index=1  Debra Buesking gives the song yet another dimension of ambience and power in our collaboration: soundcloud.com/david-dunhamuser589535203/on-the-wings-of-angels-second-flight-with-debra-buesking-piano

On Angels' Wings (In Memory of May Lemke)

With all that's going on, sometimes the heart just wants to flee to a place of innocence. Maybe we could meet there...

The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiji_dolphin_drive_hunt).
During the entire six-month long hunting season dolphins are routinely subjected to harassment, suffering and abuse. Dolphins are chased, injured, manhandled, run-over by skiffs, dragged, drowned, taken captive and slaughtered. Entire pods of dolphins are decimated, from the very young to the very old. (https://www.dolphinproject.com/campaigns/save-japan-dolphins/)
Sea in the cove turns red with blood as dolphins are slaughtered.

The massacre of dolphins in Taiji is the symbol of human indifference towards Life.

Collaborations

The Red Cove

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.
