Lyrics:
I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry 
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony 
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony 
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery 
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy 
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty 
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way 
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play 
night and day —-the price we pay 
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine 
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you 
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful 
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral 
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am 
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan 
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy 
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies 
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy 
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry 
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony 
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony 
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery 
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy 
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty 
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

This first ever in my life cover song is dedicated to my sister Karrie whom this song always reminded me of me and her. This is also my favorite song from The Police. Hope you enjoy!! Thank you for listening! 😎

Your friend,

Tea In The Sahara (Cover-The Police)

The possibility that there are 9 billion Earth-like planets in our own galaxy (Milky Way) is touched on in the excellent novel 'Bewilderment' by Richard Powers.
Considering the 100-400 billion galaxies estimated in the universe, there may be vast numbers of different life-forms (past or present) around the cosmos. 
Surely some may be generating sound frequencies to excite or entertain others of their kind...or us?

In fact it's 2 scenes from Kurosawa's movie that I merged. In the first, the inhabitants of the slum play cards while singing a refrain. In the second, the same decide to spend a night of drinking to forget the recent worries. Not that the song needed an instrumental support, it was rather an opportunity to review this pretty charivari inspired by Nô theater.

En fait il s'agit de 2 scènes du film de Kurosawa que j'ai fusionné. Dans la première les habitants du taudis jouent aux cartes en entonnant une ritournelle. Dans la deuxième, les mêmes décident de passer une nuit de beuverie pour oublier les tracas récents. Non pas que la chanson avait besoin d'un support instrumental, c'était plutôt une occasion de revoir ce joli charivari inspiré du théâtre Nô.

Its All Between The Ears

This transcendent composition emerged out of the Musical Aether as my SC friend Jörg Stohwasser @joerxworx  added his amaZingly Sonorous Saxophone to the Setting i created with my ES7 Electric piano.  
And wow! ... something wondrous was created! 😃

Just have a Listen.
                                                                                                  
Originally released as a much shorter version, i felt i owed it to those wanting to 'get lost' within the tones and spaces of this piece , to create an extended one. 

In any case, i hope you find it as magically transporting as i do. 😊

Ship of Foolishness

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 *+*
