Koala Chris - Coast To Coast

Written and recorded close to the Avon in Stratford upon Avon, Nov 2022
Rick's drums added via the internet from just north of Finham Sewer in Dec 2022 ;-))

Guitars upon Avon

I funky groovy tribute to the old Woodstock vibe, the artists and their groovy music. 
Real artists that played an instrument and made history... a long time ago...

"That day of mud and tents
Strings played a groove intense
No pads, samples, no fortune won
The kiss, the dream, the love
The funky way, a long time gone"

Sexy Retro Funk - (Messing around with a 70's vibe)

Stale Mate

"Make music." He never gets tired of making them. The state of feeling complete is when a feeling of joy wells up within me each time, no matter how many times I listen to that song.
"Isn't there a sound that pleases you more?" I layered the synthesizer, but I think adding a few more sounds would diminish the joy, so I won't.

My joy is sealed in a song.（246）

"Touch 'Em All Kirby" (Piano Improv)

Some songs are just meant to be.  In the earliest days of this song's creation, I came to a juncture that was make or break.  Stepping back, giving it some distance, molding it a bit more, it became a keeper, and one that was well received in its first posting over two years ago.  Debbie added her magic a year ago and its reception and audience grew even more.  Now Bix has added his superb vocal talent to take the song to even greater heights.  Have a listen and fly with us as the angels bear us up on their wings.  Hear more of Bix's great songs @user-432405235-236877019

FLY (HE WILL LIFT YOU UP)
Music: David Dunham/Debra Buesking
Lyrics: Bix Bixler
Aaaah….fly with me
Let the angels
Bear you up
To meet Him
When He comes

Hear the angels
Hear them singing
God’s celestial song

He will lift you up
To rise with Him
On high
And drink His cup
Of love….

We’ll fly……
To meet Him
In the air
And sing
The angel’s song

We’ll fly……
To meet Him
In the air
And sing
The angel’s song

Let the angels
Bear you up
To meet Him
When He comes

Hear the angels
Hear them singing
God’s celestial song

He will lift you up
To rise with Him
On high
And drink His cup
Of love…..

We’ll fly……
To meet Him
In the air
And sing
The angel’s song

We’ll fly……
To meet Him
In the air
And sing
The angel’s song

Let the angels
Bear you up
To meet Him
When He comes

Hear the angels
Hear them singing
God’s celestial song…

FLY (Bix, Debbie Buesking, David Dunham)

Here's an acoustic guitar solo I threw together; I didn't record to a click so I'm probably way off time in some parts.

SOLSTICE | PART II- Winter’s Bone

The winter solstice brings dramatic landscapes of cold and dark, and a time of poetic reflections. With the evocative, dramatic light of Winter, we find our spirits lifted and warmed by the bittersweet beauty of love, in spite of the chill. The title Winter’s Bone is derived from the movie, however here more as an evocative character combining both the sensation of cold and shades of white, the bone showing our barest, most honest form. As such I hope this piece tells a story of longing, melancholy and hope…

Solstice - Part 2 - Winter’s Bone | Dan van den Berg

Mid tempo  glitch and funk mix

'The Single End' is a Jazz Fusion track and was inspired by the happy memories from my past in 1974. Just having returned to Scotland after a Year working in England and having very little money, I had to rent a single room in a Paisley tenement. This was called 'a single end'. It was extremely basis with the toilet shared amongst three flats on the same level. However I was sharing the 'single end' with my girlfriend, and although times were tough, we were always really happy. That girlfriend was to become my wife one year later and we are still together 50 years later.
So 'The Single End' is a commemoration to the joyful time we spent together in that small single room..
Also to offer my condolences on the passing of one of the great guitarists of our time, Jeff Beck. He will be remembered along with the other greats of his era. R.I.P
