Words are hard to come by in describing what this man meant to me.  The photo is worth a thousand words capturing his charm and personality. We began our musical pilgrimage together as bandmates at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Amarillo, TX.  He was a bit shy, entirely unsure of himself as a mandolin player, but with encouragement and practice his playing began to bloom.  We started to do brief offertories and then expanded that music into some of the tracks presented here which have been updated as noted. 
He noticed a lump on the side of his neck two years ago which became uncomfortable to the touch and started to interfere with swallowing.  He was not a smoker, but a biopsy revealed a squamous cell carcinoma.  He valiantly fought the disease with the best treatments available but succumbed to it July 17, 2023. He leaves behind a loving family, a legacy of faith and faithfulness to his Lord, and his love of music celebrated with these collaborations I was honored to create with him.  Rest in peace dear friend until we meet again at His appearing.

🎼 Lyric :

Driving through the streets alone
The air so stale and cold
three in the morning, I know
You're waiting for me at home

I've got a place to be
You're not allowed to see
Because then I know, surely
You'd run away

And I'd do anything, anything
to keep you by my side
Despite it all, I'll come back home tonight 

A one way ticket in my hands theres no turning back
Two more minutes, till im lost in my own despair
Three in the morning, gun in my back pocket and it's time to go

One way ticket to hell but i will come out alive
Two more seconds till the gates are well out of sight
Three in the morning, but i promise i'll be home tonight, oh

I can barely feel my hands
I don't know what's coming, is this the end? 
I don't wanna forget your face, your smile, your eyes
So i reach out to the light

If I could have another chance
I don't wanna be here, where I am
Promise you'll hold me close to you at night
So I don't leave your side

My legs are moving on their own
Where am I going? I don't know
But to survive, i have to give
myself this life, i have to live

A one way ticket in my hands theres no turning back
Two more minutes, till im lost in my own despair
Three in the morning, gun in my back pocket and it's time to go

One way ticket to hell but i will come out alive
Two more seconds till the gates are well out of sight
Three in the morning, but i promise i'll be home tonight, oh

One Way Ticket (feat. Moon Jelly)

Le Dernier Train - Live
------------------------------------------------
Il arrive, j’entends les rails,  qui crissent
Vais-je pouvoir monter le prochain, le dernier?
Bruit de fer, je vois ses rames, qui glissent
Je dois forcer mon destin, m’abimer

Bien trop tard, j’entends les roues, qui filent
Sur le quai, je reste sans voix, délaissé
Il repart, je vois tous ces visages, qui défilent
Celui-là, poussé juste devant moi, le dernier

J’attends… Le dernier train…
J’attends… Le dernier train…

Peu à peu, les gens reviennent, se faufilent
Brune à droite, à gauche un grand, j’me sens cerné
Une centaine entassée là, chacun rumine
Le tunnel gronde et nos pieds vibrent, le sort est jeté

J’suis monté…  Le dernier
J’suis monté… Le dernier Train!

Lyrics:
Please tell me I'm still functioning
Throw me a bone here
How much of this is real?
When did my code start mumbling?
Or is it more clear?
Is this how people feel?

My friends still seem to be around
(They seem devoid of cheer)
And they make a most unnerving sound
(I need to disappear)
(Get me away from here)

Crossed up my wires, now I'm on the fritz
A self-aware automaton
I need someone to get me out of this
'Cause what we do is wrong

I once believed I was among
My very best friends
Now I see that's not the case
Memories of songs that we had sung
Under false pretence
And I'm the only one displaced

Maybe the pressure got to me
(Anxiety and fear)
But I can't unsee what I have seen
(Incapable of tears)
(Get me away from here)

Crossed up my wires, now I'm on the fritz
A self-aware automaton
I need someone to get me out of this
'Cause what we do is wrong

Forever cursed upon the stage
A life-size toyline on display
Why can't we all just get away?
Enjoy a warm and sunny day
Oh, wouldn't that be great?

Hold on, it seems we're not alone
I try to cry out
But I don't quite feel myself
My body's moving on its own
Drowning in my doubt
As I fall down from the shelf

Fighting the instincts in my code
(If-then will be severe)
Feeling myself slowly erode
(Before I disappear)
(Please get away from here)

Crossed up my wires, now I'm on the fritz
A self-aware automaton
I need someone to get me out of this
'Cause what we do is wrong

What We Do is Wrong

Train To Nowhere

Solstice
Words and Music by Ivan Nery

Today, the sun stood still
And its golden rays, my eyes caressed
It was brighter than it ever was before
So I bask in all of its splendor
My soul is imbued with ardor

Today, time stood still
As I realize I’m thinking about you
More and more each day than I ever had before
Then this creeping fear suddenly takes me

My lips start to quiver
When I say your name over and over again
When I’d start to rehearse all the things that I’d say
When this deep sense of failure takes all over me
From all the love I’ve lost Oh, I can barely breathe

Today, the world stood still
As if time and space were all suspended
Now I make my stand, I’m holding my ground now
As I go on a quest for you dear

So I lay my armor 
Down at your feet, here I am, hear me out
In my vulnerable state you can make me or break me
Come what may, I am giving my all
Here’s to hoping that you won’t avert your gaze from me

Today, the sun stood still
And its golden rays, my eyes caressed
It was brighter than it ever was before
So I bask in all of its splendor

Today, the sun stood still

The Adventure of being Alive

March is a month of contrasts, especially on the High plains, and really anywhere in the Midwest and Southern states.  Sometimes after lamb-like weather, a lion of a storm system can form bringing a blizzard to the Front Range from Denver to Cheyenne and tornados to within a few miles of Amarillo.  Pat and I try to put a little of March's moodiness into music first inspired by his mandolin musings that also inspired an earlier track "The Return".

The Lamb And The Lion (Pat Howell; Mandolin, David Dunham; Guitars

"The last big cattle drive". Another song from Phil's next album "The legend of the Dutchman's mine. 
Phil Bowen on: 12 string acoustic guitar, Fender strat, steel guitar, vocals and keyboards. 
Mixed, engineered and produced by: Phil Bowen 
Lyrics:
Well the mist settles down on the Texas trail
On a late September night
While the train takes the cattle on many a rail.
Leaves me old, hair turning white.

This is the last big cattle drive.
I’ve seen the good days, but this is 1905.
A new century brings a change in our lives.
This is the last big cattle drive.

I’ve walked a thousand roads and maybe more,
slept in many places feeling saddle sore.
40 years on the longhorn drive.
It’s hard to keep going. It’s hard to survive.

This is the last big cattle drive
I started as a wrangler back in ’65.
Stepped up to the plate and in 5 short years
headed up my first big cattle drive.

Well the mist settles down on the Texas trail
On a late September night
While the train takes the cattle on many a track
Leaves me old, no turning back.

This is the last big cattle drive.
This is the last big cattle drive.
This is the last big cattle drive.

The legend of the Dutchman's mine

The last big cattle drive

The Last Big Cattle Drive

Like the short lyrics' meaning "love has no hurry", music makes contrasts on rhythms and textures even inside each part: Main theme starts with fast drums on slow melodies & has a DANCEABLE? 2nd part with lead bass guitar; Central theme makes fast tracks become slow to the left channel and vice-versa, progressing to a POST-ROCK? atmosphere. Meanwhile, two lead guitars and echoing voices complete the contrasting piece. I hope to get your feedback !!!

Letra / lyrics: No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

No hace falta darse prisa; / There is no need to hurry up;
todo va rápido. / everything goes fast.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Lo que ha de suceder / What is to happen
termina por ocurrir. / gets to happen in the end.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Te quiero, te quiero, … / I love you, I love you, …

Ser impaciente / Being impatient
sólo puede hacerme sufrir. / can only make me suffer.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Russell Sinfield and The Couch King - Buttermilk biscuits: 130 BPM (Open Collaboration)

Written And Performed By Uwe Lauterbach(Guitar) And Bernd Gerdes(Keyboard) 2018

(A Cosmic Blues Affair) No. 58.3 Is Passing By

Collaborated with my good friend and band mate Pat Howell on mandolin to compose this uplifting tune. We first played it as an offertory at church but wanted to do more with it in a studio setting. We like the results and hope you do too. Named in honor of Pat's new puppy, now a very energetic dog:)

Willow Skye (with Pat Howell, mandolin) Updated Mix 3/14/23

Both Pat and I are blessed to have daughters. So when he came to me with this musical idea in honor of his daughter, I was quick to get on board. We originally released the tune (an Irish reel of sorts) as a church offertory, but decided to make a more formal recording, and now with an added second guitar part that Pat loved when we reprised it as offertory in honor of his daughter's homecoming from college for Thanksgiving.

Of Fathers and Daughters-- with Pat Howell, Mandolin (Revised and Updated 11/22/21)

Some clear sky and fresh air for those who have to shelter in place. I floated this tune (pun intended) by my band mate Pat on mandolin and he was quick to compose a part that added a real sense of open sky to my pickings. Hope you enjoy this seafaring shanty.  
With Pat's passing I wanted to post this song with a modified intro--a little ditty he loved to play "The Irish Washer Woman".  
I came across the poem "Sea Fever" by John Masefield. The feel of the song fits the poem, but composer John Ireland does it much greater justice.

Sea Fever
By John Masefield
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
 I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
 I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Heartaches

I've just discovered an old music CD that I created decades ago. I now have a selection of these tracks on SoundCloud.

I created this track around 25 years ago using a "Cubase Sequencer" running on an "Atari ST" computer. The "Sound Module" used was the "Yamaha TG300".

The track image shows my music equipment that I used around 1995 to create this track.

Can you "Name That Tune"?

I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at:

My Old Music CD - Track 1

My good friend and bandmate Pat Howell shared some of his mandolin musings and ramblings to see what I could make of them. My excitement grew as the production evolved with each "return" to the three note sequence on the mandolin.  As you journey, may all your returns be safe and joyful.

The Return (Pat Howell-mandolin, David Dunham-guitar)

"We knew where we had started but not where we would arrive, here is a new musical adventure in the company of the excellent Justin, a piece perhaps even with some metaphorical echoes with the historical period we are experiencing..."

Apricity, literally 'the warmth of the winter sun', is an orchestral-ambient work and a collab with https://soundcloud.com/echosonica. I had an idea to make a classical orchestral dronescape. I heard Elena's ambient tracks and believed we could make something different. Given airy, diverging atmospheric pad layers, I then wrote the orchestral lines on top. I used evolving, dynamic string articulations and non-traditional wind and brass articulations to give an evolving, evocative soundscape with themes of light and dark and how despair converges into hope.. 

The whole work is on BandCamp and Spotify later. I used mostly Spitfire Audio software including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Felted Piano, Orchestral Swarms, and Eric Whitacre Choir. This is my first true ambient work.

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.
