SAPPHIRE (TAKE ONE)

"My Tango" composed by LINIR OR

Midnight Coffee

I was raised in this world by God-fearing folk
In a harsh and unforgiving land
I did what I had to just to survive
And yes, I'll admit I'm a sinner

I took you for my wife, to have and to hold
And we swore to each other in the House of the Lord
To be true to one another 'til parted by death
And I knew even then we were sinners

And I worked and I toiled to carve for us a life
In this stone-hard world where we live
And sure, I transgressed, but I did it for us
I never would have guessed you'd betray my trust

You allowed yourself to be stolen by another man
You twisted the knife then you ran and you ran
Though I'm broken and bleeding I'm not one to forgive
And yes, I'm truly a sinner!

I'll survive long enough just to hunt you down
And I'll take him out in front of your eyes
Then you'll realise that breaking your vows
Is the gravest of sins for a sinner.

And I'll head off to the desert with my Bible and my gun
And I'll make my peace with Jesus
I'll join all the souls who strayed from the path
And you'll be all alone with all the sinners

You'll be all alone in a world of sinners...

Sinners

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:)

Say Hi To Me

Some tunes you have to work at.  This one came quickly, but I still wanted it to steep a little, especially the middle section.  The title came quickly as well as I thought about my son-in-law's work as a truck driver.  When he is at home, he's home as a loving and devoted family man.  On the road, however, it's all "white lines and deadlines".  For a revealing look into the trucker's "white lines and deadlines", my videographer brother assembled a great video using a shorter version of this track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4xLPK3TUBA&list=LLj-OlGOzJtweD8nMGsz7Vsg&index=4&t=0s

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...

Jamming around one or two of Billy Gibbons’ classic guitar licks with a few of my own licks.

Blue Jeans Blues (Instrumental)

A little soulful Hammond organ blues to warm the soul.  
Mask up everyone.  It's a mess out here.  

Be well.  Be safe.  Social distance.  Wash hands.  Please Mask up

Gotta Dig In - Put Your Masks On!

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

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

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

Return To Innocence

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.
