Wow! What can someone say. If anyone of you really takes the time to read my crap (thanks i appreciate) probably knows, that i had quite some troubles with inspiration and really felt like i over exceeded myself and my artistic vessel in 2k20....

So i really kept sticking more to listening and later on i had to take a complete break, step a bit back and i got to admit that i really enjoyed the off time. I was completely away from and with music, as i couldn't keep up with this intense pace and i simply wasn't able to draw any more out of that fragile "bucket" so to say.

I am really into Collaborating this year, so i put aside my (plenty of) projects and as i really befriended a few of you amazing artists out there, i got to admit, that it was (no offense towards any other closer friends here) the biggest impact for me, when my dear @texmex-shaman suddenly sent me this first raw version of the first third of what i can present to you today.....

It took me quite some time to get into it, but then it evolved, it grew into this wonderful thing here and i think it cured me... kinda... After busy months and going (wild again) with the arts for the cover to try to also convey the feeling into an image to show it to you, my fellow soundcloud friends and all other people....

..., it guided me to the point where i can now say "Here we are. This is it for me, after a long break to be able to upload again something where i put so much love and creativity and musical spirit into"...... This is also a declaration of love to Jim Morrison and his Spiritualty and his Native American Spirit......

Thank you for staying here with me my friends and its always so great to experience all this and this community and passion and love for music and so much more!

Truly yours,
Cmd. SF

Baby Steps (The Dream Series)

Homage to Relativity Theory's Centenary & Mr. Albert Einstein.
Based on a delightful 6/4 main theme by https://soundcloud.com/exploderamera, we offer to the listener some variations on 5/4, 4/4 & 2/4 signatures, relatively round composition, lotta love, and two questions...

Music: ExploderaMera and E-Ruizzo
Lyrics: Albert Einstein

----------------------------------
There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

Out Of The Dark

It's a song about warm weather and a cold, broken heart. And cheap souvenir merchandise. (Tchotchkes: A cheap souvenir or trinket)
From the Album
"A Suburban Dadaist With Some Store Bought Beats" (2020)
 
Lyrics:
Hey, where did you go?
Don't you know that the trade winds blow?
You left me here
With a sunburn
In the 3rd degree
Holding my Waikiki tchotchkes
Waikiki tchotchkes
Did you take my American Express?
Oh yes, good lord, you did!
I've got my puka shells
Only time will tell
If you'll come back to me
Waikiki tchotchkes
Sunburn in the 3rd degree
You left me holding my Waikiki tchotchkes
Waikiki tchotchkes
That really stinks for me
The Hawaiian Luau Buffet was buy one and get one free

Lyrics:

Were we close? 
Were we friends? 
Not sure, but it was fun back then
Do you remember? 
Well, I don't
Feels like we're all just walking with ghosts

Walking in a photograph
like a sad lost thing
Walking with ghosts
that used to know me
If you try to find me, 
I will be walking with ghosts
Walking with ghosts

I have been hollowed out 
and filled with something else
Old lives, they hover in shadows
and when we talk, we’re talking with ghosts

Talking to a photograph
that I’ll always keep
Talking with ghosts
that used to know me
As tomorrow leaves me
I will be talking with ghosts
Talking with ghosts

When the sober morning comes to show 
the past has gone away
Our translucent bodies lay below 
in a memory grave
We are nobody

Walking in a photograph
of forgotten dreams
Walking with ghosts
that used to know me
The days worth living behind me
So, I will be walking with ghosts
Walking with ghosts

Walking With Ghosts

This is my little sister's fault; she asked me to do a lovely happy little Christmassy song for her.   Obviously, I immediately reached for my well-thumbed copy of “Chords of misery and despair for songs in the key of Dismal diminished” - and here we are.  Hope you enjoy it Anne - sing along, pet!  :)

This uplifting little Christmas minor blues is based on the melody from a classic old standard from the ‘30’s “Skin Game Blues” by Peg Leg Howell but using a fingerstyle arrangement by Steve James from his excellent “Fingerstyle Blues Songbook”.

I can't blame anyone else but me for the lyrics.  Not even my sister.

Wishing everyone, particularly the less fortunate, a peaceful Christmas.

A Blues Consumptive

So, it’s time for Christmas.
Snatching up stuff that you don’t need, to hell with the desperate that do.
Give yourself a gluttony nosebleed, as you sate the materialistic in you.
You’re a trussed up seasonal clown,
Paint a grotesque smile on your frown,
Masquerade it all over town,
You’re goin’ down, down.

So, it’s time for Christmas.
Gorging conspicuous consumption by the privileged, of the frail.
Hot fashion’s mis-presumption, drags the spiritual by the tail.
Ya better get your stockpile built,
To bury your ethical guilt,
‘Cause you’re in it up to the hilt
And you’re goin’ down, down.

So, it’s time for Christmas.
Flashing Rudolph lights on your soul betray your tribal credentials.
The Christ can remain in the cold while you max your network potential.
Better get your story straight,
Soon be at the pearly gate,
Best not to leave it too late,
You’re goin’ down, down, down.

NEON IN HIS BLOOD (The loneliest boy I ever saw)

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
If turnips were watches, I'd wear one by my side
If "ifs" and "ands" were pots and pans
There'd be no work for tinkers’ hands

Neon in his blood

Neon in his blood

The land rolls up and the land rolls down
If Mummy didn't cut the fat off Daddy would eat it
Sometimes the rocks stick out 
But mostly they don’t
The worst part about being old 
Is remembering when you were young 
And we look at the stars 
And we still don’t know what they mean
Except she’s gone so I eat what I like
Pick the goosegrass buttons 
Off the loneliest boy I ever saw

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

The loneliest boy I ever saw

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

NO MESSAGES ABOUT PROMOTIONS PLEASE!!!

Independent artist, writer, producer


I started playing gigs in 1968,  I believe I was in the eight grade. It was only junior high school dances but at the time, it was electrifying. In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses, bars and such. Also toured the U.S. in 76. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Some of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin, Eddie Kramer and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks from Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and always inspiring the GOAT Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.
