The best of the best! Unreal and incredible fusion music!

Gary been loving this album, it reminds me of the late italian band Area where they went all instrumental on the album Tic Tac.  Reminds me of the high energy frenzy of the track "La Torre Dell'Alchimista" :D

SHE GAVE ME WATER

Sundial

A little ode to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, from my new album Little Dutch Songbook. I've loved their music ever since my elderly guitar teacher taught me to play jazz standards. He'd never heard of Oasis. But he did know classic jazz! With Jonni Slater on keys and a fabulous bass solo by Ron Phelan.

Little Dutch Songbook is available from Bandcamp: https://maaikesiegerist.bandcamp.com/album/little-dutch-songbook

LYRICS
You talk about Bob like he's a god 
We agree to disagree 
He had his day, and Joni was great 
But she's not the one for me  

Put that harmonica in its case 
Unless your name is Stevie 
Call me old-fashioned 
But give me

Ella and Louis 
How they sing together
Swing together now
Ella and Louis 
Let that crackling record play
And I wish they would make them 
Like Ella and Louis these days

Now this is the age computers can sing
They come in pretty packaging
Boys wearing suits, girls in the nude
It's all about the marketing

Even Madonna has perfect pitch
Cher, who can I believe after this?
Call me old-fashioned 
But give me 

Ella and Louis 
How they sing together
Swing together now
Ella and Louis 
Let that crackling record play
And I wish they would make them 
Like Ella and Louis these days

Little Dutch Songbook

Ella and Louis

Wasted
All my energy
Here and there
Kind of everywhere
Don’t talk

I’ve been waiting for this call all day
I was hoping it would never come

I think I forgot something
I think I had someone to see
Somewhere else to be

Hang in there for me
I’ll get to you, eventually
Moving so slowly
Through time

Slow like geology
Glacial pace, naturally
I’m moving so slowly
Do you mind?

I’ve been waiting for this call all day
I was hoping it would never come
No one can stop the burn
Everyone has their turn

Hang in there for me
I’ll get to you, eventually
Moving so slowly
Through time

Slow like geology
Glacial pace, naturally 
I’m moving so slowly
Wait for me

Do you mind? Do you mind?
Wait for me

[Words & Music - The Feckless]

one human at a time

Glacial Pace

Dedicated to man’s best friend ￼
Solo  will never be forgotten

The Professionals

This is a remix of a Kathy Freeman original, she kindly gave me the vocals and and guitar to play with :-) I asked Pete https://soundcloud.com/midipunk to add some drums and shakers and Jon https://soundcloud.com/jon-lock-5 to add some bass, he also gave me the Vibes which became part of the overall tone of the mix. (he gave me the vibes... hahahaha, I should have said no tongues :-) )
The artwork is by the fabulous Wou Wou and the Wormling https://www.facebook.com/wouwouandthewormling/ and is in itself a sort of remix of the original tune artwork here:- https://soundcloud.com/mskathyfreeman/03-here-and-now

Once again I need to thank my soundcloud/facebook friends for joining in and making great music for me to play with in the mix :-) 

This track is also for sale on Kathy's Bandcamp, see the buy link cheers - Russ

Watch me…
I dare you
Come on, touch me.
Do I scare you?
Don’t lie to me baby,
cause you don’t know how

Don’t want you now and then
I want you here and now

We might go to heaven
We might go to hell
How much time remaining?
Well who can tell?
Don’t lie to me baby,
cause you don’t know how

Don’t want you now and then oh baby
Don’t want you now and then oh baby
Don’t want you now and then
Want you here and now

Don’t you understand?

Watch me…

Don’t want you now and then oh baby....
