Away Is Not So Very Far

Carraroe Jig (traditional)

Signs of Life
 Beyond the edge of my remarkable existence
I see the worlds whirling by
And I wonder just what it is moving them 
That draws me on the way it do
         Looking for signs of life
I feel the way the planets pull upon my senses 
The way they seem to sing to me
Oh I know there are elements of danger
But it only works to woo
       Looking for signs of life
It may be with a star chart, a long lens and a flash of light
Or a soft brush, a deep look, a quick breath, so near
From the quietest whisper, the soft and fervent prayer
To the wild, wild, wild call
Spinning and turning, whirring and whirling away 
In arcs and curves, the endless ebb and flow
Do you read me?  (Over) Come in
Do you read me?  (Over)

Signs Of Life

Market Day
Cupboards are empty
My bins are bare
So I’m gonna be off to market
I will buy there:
Half pints of happiness 
Arm-fulls of hugs
Weigh out some wonder 
and a big loaf of love
Six packs of cheerfulness
Gallons of grace
Two pounds of friendship
I’ll empty this place
Cartloads of laughter
Bags full of grace 
I’ve got coupons 
For kindness
Wisdom and praise
It’s market day
Four cups of wishes
Throw in some smiles
There’s a special on kisses
A sale down the aisles
It’s market day
Ring up my purchase
I’ve cleared off the shelves
But these bags aren’t heavy
They’ll carry themselves
It’s market day

Market Day

Round Here
Many winds blow through my windows
Many colors paint my skies
And a sound like thunder 
That I’ve come to recognize
What it is and what it might be
Play together in a game
If things were different 
They’d still be the same
Round here there’s a heartbeat
It might be yours or it might be mine
Either way somebody’s heart’s beating overtime
Foreign words without their meaning
Alluring as they flow
You may not understand
But your heart already knows
Round here there’s a heartbeat
It might be yours or it might be mine
Either way somebody’s heart’s beating overtime

Round Here

We Gotta Bring This Together - Georg Boehme / Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

Established 2007. All music on this and any jazzCittern site is 100% human composed and handmade by real live musicians. Thanks for listening!

We like to build things and watch them run. We love music, Ambient to Epic, Meditative to Cinematic... We enjoy building backing tracks for enhanced live performance... And we love to discuss NST and fifths tuning.... 

In 2007 I Googled every instrument under the sun, and saw there is a 'jazz' usage of just about every instrument. Even jazz bagpipes. Back then somebody tabulated the term "jazz" and its association with musical instruments, and just about everything was represented - But NO CITTERN.

And that year jazzCittern was born.

(What's a jazzCittern? The 10-string long-scale bouzouki is really the happy offspring of a Mandocello and a Bouzouki. This instrument, when tuned CGDAE, becomes an extraordinary jazz instrument - the extra course illustrates the wonderful symmetries available in fifths tuning. Chord building and scale visualization is a breeze.)

Virtually and musically yours,

CS
