GOLONDRINAS - RAWF - 14/01/2023

golondrinas

Lightning on Galatea - a little something on the wild side! High octane prog/fusion instrumental with sizzling horns, keys/piano pyrotechnics, rip roaring sax leads, a positive blast of fine power drumming (and more!). Embracing something of the sound world of classic outfits such as Yes, Focus, Sky, Steely Dan and the like but at the same time distinctively original. Dave on keys, an assemblage of other fine international musicians in the mix and some dynamic mastering down at Abbey Road Studios (Simon Gibson). Surefire muso therapy for all who have a taste for old school instrumental high jinks.

'Forgotten Paths' is a Smooth Jazz track with a hint of Latin. The track has been redone and now features Georg Boehme on saxes. So a massive thank you to Georg for his imput. Adding a new character to the track and dynamic to the piece with his wonderful wind arranging and soloing

Forgotten Paths

Forgotten Paths (Feat. Georg Boehme)

This is an original tune that is somewhat inspired by my own experience as a salesman. It relates the empty feeling of being holed up in a hotel/motel with a "tomb of a hotel room" and needing to find a local bar to settle into for a little fun. The nightlife traveling from town to town and a new bar every stop along the way becomes a sort of comforting home away from home. It doesn't have to be anything more than your typical neighborhood hole in the wall bar as long as it has cold beer, music and TV...and an open barstool!
Special thanks to my Daniels & Durgy partner, Nat Daniels, for her huge help in updating this older recording of mine. Her production skills and mixing really made this shine so much brighter, along with the addition of the talented Dakota Holden on pedal steel.

Lyrics:   Barstool by Craig Durgy

I’ve been all across this land
I’m what ya call a travelin’ man
Each day I work from town to town
On the road is where I’m bound

Every day it’s something new
Earning my pay the way I do
And when my 9 to 5 is through
I need my dinner and some brew

(chorus) This tomb of a hotel room just ain’t no home to me
Set my sights on those party lights
The first bar that I see
They’re in all shapes and sizes, but each one hypnotizes
Cold beer, music and TV
If a barstool’s open then it’s good enough for me

Shaking off another day
The dust and dirt along the way
I did my work, it’s time to play
I’ve got a thirst I must obey

Plop down that coaster and a glass
Cause I’ve just plum run out of gas
Pick me up, lighten my load
By break of day I hit the road

(chorus)

I won’t know anyone around
But I know that jukebox sound
I recognize that Miller sign
And everyone I love is on my mind

Cause when you pull up to that bar
And that bartender fills your jar
You might be wishing on a star
It don’t matter where you are

(chorus)
