Excellent Zawinul inspired track in an intruiging cool low-fi fashion ... very cool. Stellar guitar work ... love it!

@progrockdan1: you know it Dan.  Thanks - love Double G and his sweetness on guitar.  Half way around the world with this one!

@user-138663860: :)) good day Sunshine, as the Beatles used to sing

@user-138663860: exactly - Giuliano's a pro.  It just flows so naturally

You'll Always Shine

Written by James Geer

Bejeebers
I’m wasted beyond time
I’m wasted beyond rhyme
Don Julio and lime

I want you
I think you’re really fine
I want to make you mine
Til the end of times

I need you
I need you like a hit
Of some addictive shit
That I can’t quit

I want you
I want the things you do
I want your magic brew
I love you

Chasing Stars

And Yet We Keep Boxin'

I was looking at old photos of a town gathering in the 1800s for a lynching. I was struck at the carnival atmosphere, the presence of all kinds of people, women and children. This is disturbing but very real and it is NOT confined to America,the South but instead is a sad global problem with religions and "God". Too often I think religions are excuses to commit some of the most awful  human atrocities . Religions,like leader cults(nazis/emperorsetc), seem to blind masses into justifying the slaughter  of the enemy of the day. God in most religions preached tolerance/forgiveness/inclusion and yet these fundamental principles are conveniently forgotten when it comes time to fulfill some self serving goal, monetary/territorial or ego. I wish I knew why

lyrics
glowing yellow sun
clear bright blue sky
leaves are dancing in the wind

sherriff and the barber
the doctor and the lawyer 
all the townspeople are there

just to meet and greet
and to chat about
the news and their hopes and fears

The children all are there
dressed up in their best
blue eyes and many happy smiles

then the time arrives
the crowd all turn their head
they march the black man to the tree

a noose slips round his neck
they pull him up on high
so his legs can swing free

there's heard a horrible crack
that splits the morning air
the children look up and they stare
as his legs they shake
and his body quivers
until he hangs there still and limp

then the children turn around and finish up their games 
on this bright and sunny day

now it's time to go
they hear the parents say
off to church to learn to pray

"praise God??really??

praise God??what are you thinking?

ready to die

WATCHERS FROM ABOVE

My first track of the year in 2020; I had no idea how prophetic it would be.  We all lost loved ones or know someone whose loved ones perished in the pandemic (still ongoing) and the heart's cry was to have "one more day" to say what needed to be said, to give them a hug or a kiss, share a laugh or a tear; to give them a fond and fitting farewell.  Annie @annie-smart-1 added a lovely vocal and piano part to this song that lifts it to another level.

For One More Day (instrumental version)

Here`s a track from my latest album which I released november 2019. One can download it on services like Itunes or Spotify

That outstanding Giuliano Ghisi joins me on our new original, Low-Fi Hop.  This one blends a hip hop groove, funk synth lines and Giuliano's great guitar playing - now heard in Dubai!  Check out and follow his fine collection of music:  https://soundcloud.com/gghisi

This one's inspired by Joe Zawinul, who pioneered jazz rock synths in the 70s and 80s, with Weather Report and his Zawinul Syndicate, which added an electric guitar 

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