EXIT

The English saying "We're all going to Hell in a hand-cart" just about describes my mood when I wrote "Descent". It was one of those weeks in northern hemisphere Spring 2024 when there was absolutely no good news coming in from anywhere on the planet.

I trust that things will get better!

Olympics 2024 Open Collaboration Offer

Another summertime strum.
The short (and very inaccurate) version here (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/conversion-order); all the recovered parts are unaltered and only remixed (badly).
The guitar solo from 1‘ 35’ to 1‘ 52’ and the main rhythm guitar backing from 1‘ 52 to 2'30 and then from 2'45’ to the end are by my old friend Max (thanxxx you Max!).

This grateful Dead song has been a favorite of Josh's for most of his life. So, when he and Ross were tossing around ideas for a Dead song to cover, they landed on this one. Ross, being the superb musician that he is, laid down a skeleton for the whole song on his piano, and added his vocals, as well as some synth that you hear at the very beginning. 
  Once we had a solid foundation to work from, Ken added his raucous main drums. Then, to get the effect of two drummers, like the Dead, JJ added some simpler drums, too. Once the drums were there, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the stew. Now that the rhythm section was done, JJ added his Brent-like electric piano, sprinkling magic throughout. Then is was time for Josh to go to work with the 6-strings. First, he added a rhythm guitar, trying to do justice to Bob Weir. Once that was completed, Josh also got to lay down Jerry's lead part, which he enjoyed immensely.
  After the music was complete, JJ added his high harmony throughout the song. Josh also added the lowest harmony in the a cappella vocal break. Since all the pieces were now in place, it was time for a mix. Ross generously did a preliminary mix, including some automation. However, the main mix was done by Josh on this one, in a rare show of his mixing vision. However, we did ask Stephen to master the whole thing for us, too, which he did expertly. 
  Our real goal with this one was to have a song we could show our deadhead friends with pride. We hope we did the Dead, their fans, and their music a service by keeping their amazing music alive. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
  Please remember to share it, if you dig it!

A New World Dawns

In streets once familiar, now strange and new
Ancient rhythms fade, replaced by a bolder hue
The land I knew, with traditions deep and strong
Slowly dissolves into a discordant song
Faces once mirrored mine, shared stories now untold
Amidst this sea of strangers, and cultures manifold

Our customs and values, once firmly in place
Blur and shift, leaving barely a trace
Languages mingle, accents collide
The essence of home seems to subside
In this tidal wave of change and flux
I search for anchors, familiar crux, familiar crux

A new world dawns, equally bright
A new world dawns, equally bright

Yet in this loss, a bittersweet truth emerges
As cultures blend and humanity surges
Though the country I once knew may fade from sight
Perhaps a new world dawns, equally bright
Maybe equally bright
Still, I mourn for what once was mine
A shared identity, now hard to define

In this global village, ever-growing
I'm left adrift, nostalgia flowing
Though the country I knew may fade from sight
Perhaps a new world dawns
Perhaps a new world dawns
A new world dawns, equally bright
A new world dawns, equally bright

A New World Dawns

Written and recorded to 8 track tape then mixed straight onto cd around 2009.

The drum percussion sound, because I didnt have a kit back then, was created by using crusty old paint brushes on a textured vinyl album cover. If I recall, it was the Eagles greatest hits. Where theres a will, theres a way.......

Silence And The Dark

WHO NEEDS A FANFARE
IN A FANCY BAR
YOU CAN DRIVE QUITE FAR
IN AN RUSTY OLD CAR
I AM ANIMAL
I GO MINIMAL
THE ALLIGATOR WAY

I GROW BY THE LIGHT
WHETHER DIM OR BRIGHT
IN A SILLY TRY
TO REACH THE SKY
I AM VEGETABLE
I GO MINIMAL 
THE POISON IVY WAY

ROCKY AS A TOAD
CARVED ALONG THE ROAD
A BOULDER OF OLD
A NUGGET OF GOLD
I AM MINERAL
I GO MINIMAL
DOING IT MY WAY

THE LARGER THE CROWD
THE FURTHER I STAY AWAY
THE MORE THE TALK GETS LOUD
THE LESS I HAVE TO SAY
I’M NO WATERFALL
I GO MINIMAL
THE MISSISSIPI WAY

THE MISSISSIPPI WAY (Lyrics)
