Your music is magical !! It's something more a simple sound. A perfect understanding and synergy ... maybe you were together in another life and now again. A real pleasure listen you two together! Fantatstic duo!!

Very nice atmosphere..great piano & guitar tracks..captivating & mesmerizing..stunning, perfectly executed..excellent mix & recording production!

Beautiful heartfelt work by you both  wonderful sound !!

Your collabs are always perfect guys ! Excellent playing and mood ! Love that ! :)

The sacred chant ‘Salve Regina’ is a beautiful thing and to paraphrase Stewart Copeland and Caroline Shaw ‘...transcends religion itself’. This is one of a few rearrangements/improvisations I’ve tried. The harmony etc. is still there but the tele leads the way.

Life&Death

Where Is Peace

Can you remember those stories
That your father used to tell
About those horned devils
Rising up from Hell
In the seven rings of Hades
In the abode of the dead
Can we cross the lake of fire
To where the departed dwell

And we all seek redemption
Though we call it different things
To be borne into our Heaven
Upon an angels wings
Trailing clouds of glory
Are we such foolish things
When the noble savage brings his justice
To the deposed kings

Oh they lie and they lie again
Tell me where is peace
There is no children's lantern left
Shining in the East

and we have no regrets we say
Then how can we atone
For the caravan of sin
And all the evil we have done
We all have gods of some sort
And we pay them in the end
We best pay some attention
To what all these signs portend

Oh they lie etc

Can the wizards spin their spell for you
Bring forth your voodoo doll
Drink your drink and lift your voice
Within Valhalla's halls
We all are hollow humans
Bereft of divine joy
As we drag those empty ideals
Within the gates of Troy








Will there be transubstantiation 
Of nonsense into truth
Can we make up the things we believe in
And not ask for the proof
We all are crazy suckers
When it comes down in the end
We invested our souls in those Ponzi schemes
For some extra dividend

Oh they lie etc

Where Is Peace

The cakewalk was more than a recreational dance; it also gave a chance for enslaved people to ridicule those who tyrannized them.

Cakewalk Into Town (Taj Mahal)

Lyrics;
Summertime and the living is...
Hey! I Know that guy! ...

I saw him
Yes, I saw him
Santa Claus
chiilin'
in his big driveway
Had to be a reindeer's dream
Santa in the summer
With a four wheel sleigh

Hot August sun
All dressed in black
Santa having summer fun

A big white beard
A big ole tummy
Winter cheer
His summer disposition is sunny

He's the jolly old man
With a shiny Caddy
Right here
in Fishers Indiana
Not the place
I thought I'd see

He's even cool
In the heat of day
Resting up                                        
Before the great big giveaway

A big white beard
A big ole tummy
Winter cheer
His summer disposition is sunny

Yes it's Summer
And Santa's living life
Just like anyone
up and down this street

Summertime's
Not the time

But there he was we all saw him
Me, my kids, my wife
Kicking back in Fishers
The surprise of our life

So strange to see the man
Dressed all in black
Not the red and white
And bag of toys upon his back
In Fishers Indiana
With a big Cadillac
But yeah, I saw him!

A big white beard
A big ole tummy
Winter cheer
His summer disposition is sunny

Summer Santa

Here on earth all goes well
Here on earth all goes well
You might hear the odd explosion or two
But nothing much more to tell
It only took 10 commandments
To get us all in line
And except for a few goddammits
I’d say we’re doing fine
Here on earth we behave, rain or shine

Here on earth things are good
(good as gold, so I’m told)
Here on earth things are good 
No one much makes excuses
Or abuses “would, could, should”
Everyone’s full of ideas
How others should think and live
When humble pie’s on the menu
The pride we serve it with
We’re more than glad to give
If you’re a relative
Here on earth

Lost in space
Lit by a star
Our pal the moon
Is never far 
Follow the screams
That’s where we are

And should you need distraction 
Where else would you go
For laughs and loads of action
Here’s all you need to know
We put on quite a show
You’ll soon be all aglow
Yeah you get your dollar’s worth
You’ll be thankful for your birth
Here on earth

Another tribute remix. Bri aka Rocky Mountain Rocks !!!

Often when I remix, stuff just happens. Little bits that sparks a new track.
If I don't act on it, the idea might be lost forever and the realization with it. 
So leaving it for another day is not an option, even when I'm working on other projects these things just randomly happen. Always learning and keeps my creativity snappy!

Stay Save,
LS

Impromptu No.2

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life and a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer,  as far as I'm concerned,  our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting up with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*
