The painting shows my hometown, the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan, the place that I will forever hold dear in my heart.

I know you must be busy
And life cannot be easy
To find the energy to go on

The night unfurls its splendor
My thoughts are sweet and tender
Hoping we can chat when you logon

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online


The night turns into morning
Melancholy is boring
WiFi is dead, our networks misaligned

I overthink, I stutter
Under my breath I mutter
If only I could see what's on your mind

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online

------------------------

chorus:

I want to see you
I want to hear your voice
Would be happy to meet even just for a bit

Where are you
Don't hide
Will you come back?
My heart is online

My Heart Is Online

Some new goodness with the superb Al Schulman on guitar and Mirko Borach on bass.   How nice to have such musicians here joining me on our jazz original, Cosi Bello.  Both these guys so deeply involved in music and on so many levels. You won't find a single person who knows more about fine guitars than Al, and he's so humble too:).  We hope you enjoy the sound...
Be well, be safe and continue to mask up!

An Extraordinary Spectacle Indeed

Featuring the wonderful violin sounds of Themis Nikoloudis, may everyone enjoy this interesting rendition of "Afro Blue" (written by Mongo Santamaria in 1959).
It's been about four years since the last time I collaborated with Themis, so I'm happy he was able to join me on this project!

Check out Harry Jacobson's pro guitar work on our funk fusion original, On The Edge.  Harry's a senior faculty member of the National Guitar Workshop, teaching advanced students across many styles of play.  I love what he's done with his rhythm playing, his fills and his superb edgy and bluesy electric guitar soloing - contributing so much to the syncopation, groove and sound here.  Follow Harry's superb SoundCloud recordings and playing:  https://soundcloud.com/harry-jacobson.

Friday Groove - Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

Composed following a reading of the poem "A Dream Within a Dream" by Edgar Allen Poe.

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?  
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp 
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

A Dream Within a Dream

My tribute to JB's version of Pork Pie
This was used on the DiMarzio pickup website years ago to demonstrate their new Area pickup line.(that's why I switched pickup tones so much) I used one of my USA Customs "parts" Strats, into my 1958 Tweed Fender "Super Amp" and stacked cascading preamps for the overdrive tone.
Thx so much for the warm comments
