my vocal contribution written below

salt and sugar look the same
could be mistaken but that's okay
mistake do happen yeah
mistake do happen every day
every day of life

all those things I didn't mean to break
all these things I didn't mean to forget
I didn't mean

straighten your shoulders, girl
take a deep breath or wash your face girl
but don't get stuck girl

to brood about
linger over
crying over failures again
cry on your grave
flowering your grave
carry your cross
to the death
flowering your grave
while you are not dead yet

Love and pain don't feel the same
but sometimes you're lost
and feel love is pain
mistake do happen yeah
mistake do happen every day

secrets that I forgot, yes indeed
dreams that I gave up, not really meant that
people that I forgot, on purpose
houses I will not build up, on purpose

Cannot see the world as it is
through filters
greed, hate wrath
whatever it is
it affects your judgment
don't brood about
try to by wise
instead of crying over failures
that happen every day
take the lesson with you

 This song began by Chris writing it with his acoustic guitar at the beginning of last summer. He passed it along to me, who added the piano and slide parts. Then Chris got it back and added the rhythm section of bass and drums, along with some electric accents. It's been a few months since we've released a collaboration together, not by choice, but because of our busy lives. We have been working on this one for about half a year, trying to add and cut other elements into it. We ended up deciding to put out a simpler version, which is what you hear here. It's been a long time coming, and is our final offering of 2023. It's been a great year of sharing music with all of you out there in SoundCloud land. I appreciate all of your ears, support, and sharing of your talents. We hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we enjoyed making it. Happy new year 2024!
P.s. Everyone should check out Chris's slightly different version on his page. It features him singing, and is a very cool treat indeed! Chris is in my top three creators on the whole Cloud. If you're not familiar with him, do yourself a favor and check out what he has on offer.

Shake That Thing (Lyrics)

Do The Shuffle Do The Twist
Foxy Lady Ooh I Can't Resist
Do The Shimmy Do The Slide
Move In Closer Take Me for A Ride
When You Shake That Thing
You Make This Poor Boy Sing
Come On Come On

Do The Monkey The Mashed Potato
Jump Back Jack See You Later Alligator
Do the Boogie Do The Stroll
Listen Baby It's Time To Rock And Roll
When You Shake That Thing
You Make This Poor Boy Sing
Come On Come On

When The Sun Goes Down
And The Lights Go Out
Now You Belong To Me
Are You Ready To Twist
Are You Ready To Shout
Shake It Up Baby
Come On And Satisfy Me
Come On And Satisfy Me

Do The Shuffle Do The Twist
Foxy Lady Ooh I Can't Resist
Do The Boogie Do The Stroll
Shake It Baby It's Time To Rock And Roll
When You Shake That Thing
You Make This Poor Boy Sing
Come On Come On
When You Shake That Thing
You Make This Poor Boy Sing
Come On Come On

Shake That Thing (Brand New Track)

The Reason

Esa Enai - Petra Köhler / Flute

When i woke up an old man
I was told that i can do what i can
When i woke up a newborn
My legs were tired my shoes were torn

When i left the next morning
The snow had vanished rain was pouring
And i fell into a whisky bar 
Where life and death seemed oh so very far

When i woke in the heavens 
Two lovers reunited 
While she spoke between dimentions
I was happy where i resided

And i fell asleep uncertain 
Wandering alone 
Had a dream of someone lurking 
Smurking in my home

So i went
Aint it sad to see you here 
Wandering spirt from some other hemisphere
Bothering me causing fear 

Overflowing with emotion 
I couldnt help notice the motion 
Of the shadows running far far away 
From town to town, place to place

What else must we face?
What else must we chase?
What else must we embrace?
What else must we waste?

When i woke in the evening 
I hardly knew what i was feeling 
I looked up at the cieling 
And found the chandelier that dissappeared 

I'm home 




When I woke up

Some wonderful things happen when great friends get together.  Pinner, Stringburner and I got together here to present a downtempo grooving bluesy original, Mr Slinky.  So much can happen with the right players, and this one jelled from the start.  Mirko's one of the deepest electric bass players here on SoundCloud, growing up in Essen, Germany, and bringing that groove, that funk, and that perfect rhythm to everything that he touches.  Everything.  We've done so many thing here together, and it goes without saying that this bass line is the joint.  Taking the lead here is Mount Laurel, New Jersey's Stephan Lipinski.  Another monster, Stephan's got his Robbin Ford sensibility going, with that infectious wah playing and always tasty blues sensibility.  Together, these guys just kill this one, proving such a wonderful cross continent musicality - exactly what SoundCloud is about.  I've had so much fun mixing down these beautiful lines, finding the right balance, and getting this ready for prime time.  Thanks guys.

Mr. Slinky - with Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski / guitar and Mirko "Stringburner" Borach / bass

Rich, pampered girl from Abilene, Texas meets a trail-worn cowboy with a checkered past, and they head north to avoid her family's scrutiny. It's a doomed relationship from the start, of course, and only lasts until the snow breaks.  Abilene comes calling - she heads back home, and the cowboy does what all cowboys in trouble do (at least in the songs I listen to) - he splits for the border.  True story?  Maybe...
 
The timeline in the song is a little convoluted - begins in the middle and then back to the start, then to the end and back to the middle etc.,..   But you old cowhands will figure it out.

Female voices are Julia Avery and Madison Carr.
 
And the winter would pass......
