Time of your life Acoustic Noodling

my propensity
pillars collapsing
all around me

throwing
stones from a glass house
how'd you
think it would turn out

just when
i thought i had it all figured out
it keeps on
sinking its claws into me

Dance of the Red Queen

Some words are so wonderful, you want to hear them again:  the first time she (or he) says "I love you", and later,"I'm sorry, I was wrong", or "I forgive you". The judge says "not guilty", The doctor announces,"the cancer's gone"... you get the idea, news so good you want to hear it again.  I hope you like my trying to capture it in a song.

Say It Again!

My good friend @dave-mckeown wrote this little gem and asked me to play along on the guitar. Always a great pleasure, and even more so because it bears my name :-) That B alliterates very nicely, don't you think? Anyway, it's a clarinet duet, a smooth tune at an easy going pace in Gilberto-style, with a cool melody and gorgeous harmonies and – as always – outstanding soulful playing.

Recently Dave has added some great compositions of his own to the arrangements he makes for sax, clarinets and other instruments on https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/david-mckeown-sheet-music/3006203?aff_id=673683 

This is one of them.
Hope you enjoy!

Bossa De Bastião (Dave McKeown/Bas Kooman)

Deuteronomy 33:27
"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms"

Song Recorded and Produced by Josh Ross including Piano/Percussion

Hymn of the Everlasting Arms (Deuteronomy 33:27)

I wanted to try new things. I started writing a pure electronic song but ended up with this 😉.
I don't know if my inspiration is back, but it's my fastest job 😋. I am usually very slow 🐌.

This song may not be my best but I like it. I wanted to make something lighter with some optimism but also a little melancholy.
I spent part of my childhood in the countryside. Each new day was the occasion for a new adventure.

I hope you'll like it. Thank you for listening🙏

Homeland

Stars and stripes, you've lost me forever?
We've gone too far, can't find our way home
Open your eyes and fight for their future
Don't give up, our love must survive

America, you've got us running through the streets into the night
America, you're light is dimming
We're all fighting for our lives
People sick and dying
Broke, can't pay the rent
They hide their hate behind false religion
They're burning down the house we built

Hands up
Rise up
All love
Can't stop
Dont let this moment fade away

All Love- Can't Stop

Part of a new batch of songs we are finishing up and using to learn to master better on our Tascam DP24.

As lonely as this night is, it won't be very long
til I can see her brown eyes
and tell her I was wrong
I've been so very sorry		
and not just for the heartless words I said
I hope she's still my baby          
and not just the pretty girl next door

I hope she doesn't keep me hanging on 
Quite as long as I did her
and even though I probably deserve much worse	
I just don't think that I'm that strong

As lonely as this night is, it won't be very long
til I can see her brown eyes
and tell her I was wrong
I've been so very sorry
and not just for the heartless words I said
I hope she's still my baby
and not just the pretty girl next door

I hope she'll take me back again tonight
humble as I am now
and even though I probably deserve much worse 
I hope she'll take back her crown

I hope she doesn't keep me hanging on 
Quite as long as I did her
and even though I probably deserve much worse	
I just don't think that I'm that strong

Lonely as this night

An old anti war song I wrote many years ago. First track on here with no drums, but I kind of like that about it. 
Dedicated to anyone with PTSD.

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.
