From Scratch (feat. Deejaypryme)

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Not Quite The Blues

Hope you are well....
Isolated... caged.... but feeling closer to nature then ever,  watching the birds fly free and listening to their song.

Chill out jazzy summer track with my beloved collabrother, floating on warm blood streams and cold drinks. Hilario spiced up this tune deliciously with some smooth piano and tasty guitar parts.

Get Your Funk On - Joe Bongiovanni / Jamie Rhind

Now a days everybody needs a safe place. Protection from lighting, wind, virus, wildfires and everything else going on around you. The only thing that can penetrate is an alien space ray because we are not prepared for that!!! Stay Safe. Peace-Ron

Safe Place

This is a companion piece to my recent track 'Landing Lights'  @  https://soundcloud.com/Gary-Courtland-Miles/landing-lights  
and was  improvised during the same session.
 
It's actually a humble Homage to the Wonder of Life on Earth. We live here at Gaia's pleasure, and without her health intact we are definitely at a disadvantage. 

After we land here on planet Earth in this incarnation, either the journey of Awakening begins... or the belief that 'the world is our oyster' sets us on the wrong path.

But it's really All about the journey, 
our improvisation within this thing called Life.

So let's Be the best we can Be, and get it right! :)
