Feeling this one and its energy. I had a g uncle who ate his breakfast everyday in a diner... I think of him.

I'm back for another listen but on your channel this time. It still sounds really, really nice

Reposted - Absolutely loved this. Feels like slipping into a smoky booth with a story to tell — soulful, bluesy, and timeless.

very nice. sounds like a soundtrack to film credits. :)

This ones very soothing and beautiful. very nice the both of you

Such a marvelous serene atmosphere... Absolutely enjoying this deligthful music - many thanks to both of you!

This track feels like a window seat at sunrise, warm mug in hand, watching the world yawn awake ☕🌅 The piano hums like it’s flipping through a scrapbook, and that acoustic guitar? It’s the soft creak of the diner booth, the clink of a spoon on ceramic, the hush of familiarity 🎸✨ Together they drift in and out like memories that don’t need words, just rhythm, space, and a little rustle of morning light 💽 The microwave gave a soft hum and said, “This sounds like a thought that never needed to be spoken” 🥡 The Tupperware nudged the lid open a crack and whispered, “It’s exactly what a safe place sounds like” 🧀 The grater raised an eyebrow and said, “If this had any more ease, it’d be wearing slippers and reading the paper” 🕊️ A quiet treasure, this track doesn’t raise its voice, it just gently insists on being felt.

This is an old band recording I never planned on sharing. We were practicing in a hall, and one of the guys used to record our sessions, this is one of those takes.

It was many years ago, before I lost the ability to lift my arms. But when I listen, I’m right back there, breathing music into the room with people I cared about. It brings me back so vividly it hurts a little, a lot actually, bittersweet doesn’t quite cover it

The whole thing was improvised. I used to be able to play the saxophone like some people whistle, hearing the tune and responding without thinking. It just flowed, it was the one thing I really excelled at.

The quality’s terrible, I know. This was never meant for anyone else, just a moment captured for us, for joy, for memory, for connection. But I’ve been sharing more of myself lately, and this was, or is, a big part of me.

It’s not perfect. It’s not clean. But it’s real

💜 For anyone who’s had to let go of something they love, this is a piece I got to keep.

Lyrics

Juice my July
Give me new high
Mind weeds for the free
Give me beat 123
Please

Gather round
Look, a planet
Let's land, it can be us
As us, it's found
Come closer
Here we make sounds
Melifulous mind quietens ego grind
What will we find?
Me?
You?
Us?
Again?
Modern meditative magician
Feeds forever silent grin

Gather round
Listen
The silence, it sends
You see quiet doesn't depend
Only miss-judgement to up-end

It sends more
It sends a silent roar
It sends reality
Pretends nothing 
It sends the real me

It received a flow that only I can know
It receives scenes observed as clean
It needs not pill as ears do swallow
This timeless sound making me less hallow

Juice my July
Give me new high
Mind weeds for the free
Give me beat 123

Rapture from serpent
Wise young owl
Child of my nature
Parental to proud
Still set my bar
Good silent soul mate
I am still aural jar
Your hands have the lid eternally

Gather around each other in silence
Grow as yourself
Best food for true love compliance

Juice my July
Give me new high
Mind weeds for the free
Give me beat 123


Notes
Delay Pedal: 7808 msec - 1 run alternating reverse & modulate settings on the fly - feedback infinite for each hot loop. I use a Boss DD20 and it's great for that. It allows loop of current setting and you are allowed change to an ajacent setting without killing the loop. It in turn kills the original loop when you switch again but it allows for some really cool live delay builds. I go for reverse& modulate regularly as they offer a lot of dream and compliment each other nicely.
In this case the order was

Loop 7808 msec
1 ) Reverse delay run and off
2) Break and change to modulate
3) modulate run and off
4) Add lib
5) More modulate
6 ~ Ad-libbed to end... I disable the original reverse loop at some point 

I've mentioned before .. Whether you use delay or not it's very fascinating to learn the time and tempo relationships in figures and you get a lot from that in my view in your general outlook of music. It maybe paints the symettry and maths that music is another way and shows very nice relationships between BPM and duration. relationships between 60 / 90 & 120 etc become clearer in numbers and maybe offer additional nuggets of understanding it all

Not exactly fine dining music. Rather, a bit of easygoing and no fuss music with my good friend David Dunham. Good with a cup of coffee and maybe a piece of apple pie.   Thank you David.  It's always a pleasure to make music together.  Check out David's soothing guitar here ---> @david-dunhamuser589535203

Old Timer at the Diner

Old Timer at the Diner with David Dunham & Debra Buesking

I think of some of the "old timers" that have influenced my life especially when I was a younger man, the stories they shared, the wisdom in those stories if I listened closely, and most sobering, that I'm an old timer myself now.  This song is a bit of a musical portrait of encountering an old timer at a small-town diner and enjoying a bit of food and conversation.  Joining me in this visit is ace pianist and valued collaborator Debra Buesking.  As always, her playing enriches and informs my playing and is totally sympathetic to the theme.  Thank you dear friend for sharing this special musical moment.  Hear more of Debbie's superb composing and playing @debra_buesking. Thanks to George Motz Photography for the track picture.

On a personal note, I appreciate all of you that reached out to me upon hearing about the devastating flood in central Texas that swept away many lives and much property.  It was a worst case scenario happening on one of the busiest weekends of the year.  Amarillo stayed high and dry during the event, but all of us were touched, as was the whole world, upon hearing of the tragedy.  Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Old Timer at the Diner (Debbie Buesking; piano, David; acoustic guitar)

In 2018, I did a SoundCloud collaboration with @clive-hawkins after one of his tracks inspired me to write lyrics over his haunting instrumental 'After the Bomb'.

Clive had posted the line "let us not forget the consequences............of unleashing weapons of mass destruction!", and that comment, coupled with listening to his moody track, had me writing the complete lyrics inspired by his music in about 1.5 hours.

In 2025, I am currently working with accomplished keyboard player and Prog Rock enthusiast @Dee-Zee (Dave Zeitlin), to create an Ethno-Prog album 'Beyond the Veiled Horizon'. 

https://soundcloud.com/mrbouzouki/sets/beyond-the-veiled-horizon-series

So when I recently re-heard the old collaboration I wondered if Dave's keyboard wizardry could add a whole new dimension to the lyrics. The message in the lyrics has perhaps has even more urgency in 2025. 

The Doomsday Clock currently stands at 89 seconds to midnight. 
https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/2025-statement/

Using Clive's harmonic rhythm that inspired the melody, that inspired the lyrics, I basically gave Dave a blank slate to see what he could come up with as parts. As usual he delivered some amazing ideas and playing and this left me re-assembling this Redux version of the collaboration. Once again, I made use of the Alto vocal talents of 'Mrs Bouzouki' in a vocal harmony section and as part of some harmony stacks. Towards the end, the additional female backing lines are from the Soundiron 'Voices of Gaia' collection featuring the vocal talents of Linda Strawberry.

I feel the addition of a church organ really added to the track. As a result I removed a choir part I added in the original collaboration and added some low strings to add some weight to the bottom end in places. Besides piano, Dave also added some synth pads to keep things interesting during what is quite a long track. I hope that people can hear why I enjoy working with Dee Zee. I think he's done a fantastic job with this track.

I decided to keep my original vocal takes from 2018 but I feel the track has benefited from my improved mixing and production techniques. 

I feel that once again this track is a great example of how music can be created using the SoundCloud platform. A collaboration can build on a collaboration to create something bigger than the sum of the parts. Thanks @clive-hawkins for being the catalyst for this and @dee-zee for your compositional skill and playing. 

As a follow-up to this song you can watch this movie on the Internet Archive, produced in 1969 about the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombs of 1945. Some of the imagery is not for the faint-hearted.

Lyrics

After The Bomb - P Goodrich 22/01/2018

One World, One Tribe
One Fate, One Life
Two Sides, Too Late
Just What Have We Done

Dead Streets, Dead Lives
Dead Seas, Dark Skies
We've Gone, Too Far
Ohhhh We've Lost It All

(C)
And The People Cried As One
With The Firing Of A Gun
Too Late For Second Thoughts
Too Late For All Of Us

No Race, No Faith,
No News, No Lies
Past Ways, Past Lives
They're Over and Done

Dark Days, Dark Times
Dark Deeds, Dark Minds
No Hope, All Gone
We've Nowhere To Run

C)
And The People Cried As One
With The Firing Of The Gun
Too Late For Second Thoughts
Too Late For All Of Us

(organ instrumental)

No Rest, No Sleep
No Love, Just Hate
Dull Hearts, Dead Minds
The Future It’s Gone

One World, One Tribe
One Fate, One Life
Two Sides, Too Late
Oh What Have We Done

(C)
And The People Cried As One
With The Firing Of The Gun
Too Late For Second Thoughts
Too Late For All Of Us

One World, One Tribe
(Ad Lib)
We’ve Nowhere To Run
(Final Whispered) After The Bomb ... After The Bomb

After The Bomb - Redux 2025 (89 Seconds To Midnight)

Interim Breathing

Best described as eclectic, my style is a soothing mix mirroring my personality: mostly mellow with the occasional outburst. Although I have a background in classical piano I have always loved to create and improvise.  Since early childhood I have been trying to duplicate on the piano what I hear in my head.  Now I see how formal studies and improvisation fit together perfectly. I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all my endeavors. Thank you for your kind listening.
