very smooth jazzy number, given a little added vibrancy with George's flute...cool sway to this...like the bass and drums moving the song, piano suggesting chord structure, while vocals deliver a breathy and subdued muse...perfectly suited to the arrangement.  Very cool! :)

Great collaboration - cool voices and flute!

love your performance , takes me to prefab sprout , love it

smooth as a dolphins fin... warm n wonderful vibe.

Beautifully performed with light and expressive vocals and flute. Durge

This little song of the great Joni Mitchell is still very up to date. Please excuse the bad recording quality.

I am very happy that he contributed some of his marvelous blues licks to this blues rock jam.
Thanks for listening and take good care of yourselves in this tough times when  a lot of us have to stay at home.

Project description:
I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators were anonymous during the process. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path...passed on from one anonymous member to the next..  not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are made.
I created a guideline invitation...and it went like this:
As the concept and project coordinator, I will tie a collaboration track in one linear path starting with my 25- 35 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to another person (only)in the project  who's style  I think will be an interesting following my track. That next person will create a 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound interesting as a follow through to  the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed, that person will send their newly created (un posted) 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental to me only as a private un-posted track.  When received, I will send that anonymous segment(only) to another member who's style I think will sound as an interesting follow-through right after that track....this process continues until complete. During the secret process the only part of the project you will hear is the one anonymous track sent to you.  Your sound and the track order of this Linear Collaboration will not be changed during and after the project is complete. When the project is complete and posted, you will be credited as the sole writer and producer of your contribution. 
That is when all the anonymous members of this Linear Collaboration will finally be revealed to one another!
Enjoy the process and your creative individuality!

We All Need Love (with Georg Boehme)

When you grow up in Colorado you probably have a little country in your bones. Yee ha.

It Wont Be Long

Your Fool by Keri Johnson

Album cover design: Judy Thang

There's a smoke signal rising in the night sky
should've listened to the voice warning me inside

No, I never stopped believing in your light
something I could not imagine, it was blindsight

You're a liar- and I'm your fool

You're a liar-and I'm your fool

Caught up in your web, believing what I wanted to
slowly dying every day that I deny my truth

Now I'm picking up the pieces all that I been thru
kept me tied, I'll never go back tho you ask me to

Keri Johnson's Album

Your Fool

A struggle is always worth it.

Never give up!

Everybody Come Back

From the e.p. Just a Phase. Available as a free download: https://theaffectionatepunch.bandcamp.com/album/just-a-phase.

Shadows dance into the light
Voices shriek earthly delights

Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you

It’s just a silhouette in the dark
I hear the pulsing beat of my heart

Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you

My breath hangs like clouds in the air
I thought I almost saw you, just there

Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you

Insubstantial, just like you

Just a Phase

Insubstantial

All music, songs and lyrics are original, unless noted.
Collaborations welcome, if you think you can add something to any of my songs, want to sing them, etc, please drop me a note
I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the good stuff going on in the lower frequencies. You don't want to only hear half of the music : )
