Here's an original Latin Jazz groove that includes the very fine Spanish flutist Santi-Caballero Mendez https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero and German bassist Mirko Borach (Stringburner) https://soundcloud.com/stringburner.  Wrote this tune with kind of a Santana groove, and think you will love what Santi-Caballero does with his gorgeous flute playing.  I have the trombone patch solos.  Route 251 is named after the classic II-V-I chord changes around which the tune is built.  Please check out and follow both Santi-Caballero and Stringburner's galleries - you will love their musicianship.

As always, thanks for your time listening, your comments, and your shares.



Route 251 - with Santi-Caballero Mendez flute and Stringburner (Mirko Borach) bass

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Lyrics & vocals : Janne Hennie

Every time I came to visit
You danced around my feet
Made happy noises, barked a song
Lots of cuddles, lots of love

You are my friend, like a brother to me
We could talk, have long good walks
Always faithful, with trust in us
So much comfort in my mothers dog

But now you're tired, you need to rest
I know you did you're very best
I will carry you on our last walk
My little brother, my mothers dog

If I was sad, you licked my hand
could always sense and understand
Whenever something was bad or wrong
You were there, your presence so strong

Take a rest now, my brother, my friend
I'm pretty sure I'll meet you again
Then we'll take a long good walk
Lots of cuddles, lots of love

But now you're tired, you need to rest
I know you did you're very best
I will carry you on our last walk
My little brother, my mothers dog

In Their Dreams (Remix 2025)

A new song written and recorded in the same room while Nettamoon was here in Brisbane visiting from Norway..............cheers for having a listen

Love Is A Thief   written , played and recorded by Netta & Mcgill


heading down the eastern road
looking for another point of view
while i'm trying, to get my head around you

your love is a thief, with a heart like a clown
turns you inside out, throws you upside down
like it's been for the ages, some things are just meant to be
when we're apart, it breaks my heart
that's you and me

look across the country side
remember it in better days
nothing ever grows there now
they're still waiting for the rain

your love is a thief, with a heart like a clown
turns you inside out, throws you upside down
like it's been for the ages, some things are just meant to be
when we're apart, it still breaks my heart
that's you and me

Love Is A Thief

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – (?) electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth and organ
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
 
 We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
 
 Then is sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too. 
 
 Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  
This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

lyrics

You talk about me yeah
You said that I was the problem
You told your friends that
You said that I wouldn't holla
We texted everyday
We talked whenever
You talk about me yeah
You talk about me
They believe the words you say
They believe I'm not here to stay
They believe the words you say
I'm packing my bags today

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

When I can't sleep at night
It's you I'm yearning for
Why can't we get this right
I'm trying to not walk out that door
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying the bad things that you say
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying that things won't go our way
Let's try one more time

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

I Thought Wrong

When an unknown wind gently caresses my cheek, I feel glad to be alive.

Ordinary happiness is a gentle breath. (358)
