You do tend to get some of the Good Ones Captain.

@user-138663860: Many thanks. King Oswald ( the king in the north) made a political marrige to strengthen his kingdom but his wife was no mere decoration on his arm.

The amazing Faerytale  as  Cyneburg lets Oswald know exactly who is
wearing the trousers in this Royal household. 

Northumbria c 635 AD.  

King in the North ! by the grace of God
and the gore, of my enemies and friends
Peace,  my gift, to the poor,  the rich
bloodstained, I make amends  ( amen ) 

A King must have an heir, must needs a wife be there
If she's pretty, so much the better
A match to be weighed,  a suitable Royal Maid
if she's witty, I'll just, ignore her...

Pray, my 'Lord and Master'
Read you soon this 'Lysistrata'*
In the Greek...
If you read  ? 

A tale,
Statehood verses Manhood
Try my mettle, 
if you will...

Should you listen, I will guide you
Lay beside you.....For the land
War should not please you
 The Love of Christ can free you.......from these ways

King in the North ! by the grace of God
and the skill of my Queen
Crops on the land,
strong my hand
and the cross triumphant.* 

 'Lysistrata'. A play by Aristophanes. 
 'The Cross Triumphant'.. Oswald raised a cross before the Battle of Heavenfield and gifted the island of  Lindisfarne to the church in thanks for his victory.

Oswald  ♥'s Cyneburg.  :)

The Netherland's incredible Rients Draissma tears up our blues rock original Change It Up.   He's simply one of the finest guitar players we've heard, pushing sound, rhythm and harmony.   Check out Rients' superb jazz-rock fusion guitar and arrangements:  http://www.rientsdraaisma.com - his latest album Guitales is simply burning http://www.rientsdraaisma.com/shop-guitales/, and follows up on so many Tribal Tech and Weather Report influenced compositions:  https://soundcloud.com/rients-draaisma.  Also check out his iJam album, of heavy fusion burners.
I've been fortunate to have recorded a number of tunes with Rients, among some of my favorites here on SoundCloud. 

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Change It Up - Rients Draaisma / Jamie Rhind

From the dust bin, an old Little Feat (Bill Payne) song from their early days. A classic.

 Takin' My Time (Bill Payne)

I'm takin' my time
So please don't rush me.
Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed.
I've been here before,
I know where the traps lie.
You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.
Well I'm tired of talk,
So please don't push me.
You know I want the same kinda things that you do.
You're wasting your time,
The way you come on to me.
Slow down your rhyme and try to reason
Can't make things move any faster,
By second wishing them to death.
You seem to be living on the level.
It's decent enough,
You got what you wanted.
So why do you tell me, that I'm on the wrong track?
I'm doin' the best I can do.
Why try to out guess
A situation
That I know your not even fully aware of.
And I want you to know,
If it keeps on this way,
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.

Open Source Drumming (OSD):
(for further details, check my Bio)

Ritual:

Being the opposite concept of pieces like Tabla fantasy nr.1 and 2, "Ritual" is a steady groove, mixing acoustic and electronics in order to create hybrid textures.....as mentioned, steady grooves, BUT with some surprises in order to differentiate the machine from humans :)

As usual, try to hear with head/ear-phones (effects will be much more appreciated), and all is being played in one shoot (no sequences, no multi tracks, all played in real time --> it means i can play in live situations in real time).

Hope you enjoy it !! and waiting for your ideas as well !!
Looking forward to have your musical ideas using these drum songs (my email: gserranodg@hotmail.com)

Greetings !
Gonzalo

Shout out to the Goodwill in Yelm, WA for having such awful CDs, and Splitter.ai for being amazing!
Without you, this never would have been possible! 
Now get in my  temple!

Welcoming you to The Holy Temple of Dumpster Fires

Distance has taken on new meanings.  For all the old meanings and the new…

UPDATE:  This was written a year ago, thinking of all the people who will be distanced during the Holidays.  In many parts of the world, the situation has returned to this again.  Thinking of all of you...

Coup de foudre

ломанье белых рук латанье черных кружев 
касания в санях и уксус натощак 
покуда милый друг вельможен и натужен 
замешкался в сенях оглаживая фрак

он беден но знаток 
ни слова в просторечьи
 он бледен как опал 
он пан или пропал 
покуда бел снежок
 проводит к Черной речке - 
расскажет где стоял 
покажет как упал

ах маменька! лови расшитую перчатку 
венчанье он отверг - не надобны уже
 латиницей любви в несносных опечатках 
под лампою в четверг Расин и Беранже
    
силянс! учитель мой
 грассируя безбожно
 не торопись глотать 
соленые слова
 верни меня домой 
шкатулки невозможной
 картонный фигурант 
седая голова

Человек с Зонтом
