The Münchaunsen Man- Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

Like Many people, Robert has a Factitious Disorder. One day he thinks he can be a cook, an architect the other a lawyer, a pilot or even a surgeon each time putting the life of others in danger. Robert learns quickly but fundamentally, he is ignorant in many ways. When he pretended that he landed the lunar module Falcon on the moon with Luis Armstrong one should have understand that he was totally phony but clearly indicating that he may have been a jazzman. However, his charisma and his good spiel may bring him to the presidency of his country. Will someone stop him before it is too late?

Note: The lunar Module is the Eagle landed on the moon by Niel Armstrong with Buzz Aldrin.

Musical notes: This song is vaguely inspired by Chick Corea’s album The Mad Hatter, a classic that you should listen some day.

The Münchaunsen Man

Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and triangle
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 
  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. He also added some triangle hits you can listen for, that add a little bit more pizzaz to the whole thing. 
  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 
  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

A Go Go by Medeski, Martin, Wood and Scofield (Eclectic Collective cover)

In the days of indecision,
In the haze of the truth,
When the path is dark and endless,
And the choice is up to you.

When the curtains start to open,
it’s time to do your part,
the world counting on you now
And you don’t know how to start

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.

In the times that test your spirit,
When the world is far from kind,
when hope is dim and fleeting,
and strength is hard to find.

When the road divides before you,
and the night won’t let you see,
When the weight is heavy on your shoulders,
And you don’t know who to be.

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.

Seasons changing way to fast
These years - where have they gone?
I hope you hear me still
When you’re on your own.

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.


I'm With You
