This Day   -    Lyrics by Alan Davis

I could see it spin,
I could see it take a turn,
I could see it not working out right,
It was hard to tell,

What happened to the day...?
It started out by raining, 
Then the clouds fell away,
Open up your eyes to see me, standing...
In an energetic way,

I could see it in...
The way the rays shone golden and burst on...
Through.. Oh so good... This day... This day,

I could see it in...
Your eyes, took a turn,
I could see it very clearly, looking well...?
It was hard to tell...

What happened on that day...?
It started out restraining,
Then and it eased to serenade,
Open up your eyes to see me, smiling... 
Here for you today!

This Day

Lyrics;
Life was at the Crossroads
Rolling up on 61
The times sure were a changing
From where I had begun

I was on to Graceland
To see where Elvis died
Behold the old King's palace
Where so many mourners cried

A humble way to go away
Guess he held too much inside
I was on to Graceland
To see where Elvis died

Heading up to Tennessee
Where music fills the air
It's easy to forget your home
And lose yourself up there

The broken streets of Memphis
Will bring you to the Sun
Hustlers look with hungry eyes
For where their next meal's coming from
A million dollar quartet haunts
where a Heartbreak had begun
Where the broken streets of Memphis
Bring you to the Sun

Life was at the Crossroads
And I'd gone so far off track
My home is long behind me now
Dont see me turning back

And I was on to Graceland
To see where Elvis died
Mom and Dad in Dallas
Filled with Texas pride
I never seemed to measure up
Lord knows how hard I tried
I was on to Graceland
To see where Elvis died

The road will change perspective
Each turn is something new
We hope to find our way
But so many never do


The ghost of Robert Johnson
Came looking for a ride
And we're on the way to Graceland
To see where Elvis died

Where Elvis Died

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
