Fingerstyle playing has been a passion for me for over 45 years, having fallen in love with it when I first heard a college friend play with his fingers instead of a pick.  It was mesmerizing and I determined then and there I must learn how.  This song is the first I wrote using fingerstyle and has followed me around now for over 40 years evolving as I learned more playing technique.  I think it is still evolving, but this is where it is now; shades of light and shadow, good times, difficult times, hopefully full of the Grace of God. It is a musical portrait of me.  Performance note:  only one guitar used, the Taylor JKSM, standard tuning, no overdubbing--strictly solo fingerstyle.

The first verse is about my own early employment experience. Second an interpretation of business as usual. Third frustration in the acceptance of the status quo. The chorus on what influences the decisions we make.

ForLoveOrMoney

The scene starts with the ones that toil in the field
their sweat is the lube used to grease the wheel
the spoils returned make the big man rich
but the ones in the field are left diggin’ in the ditch

One way or another
with a wink of an eye
when alls said an done
and we all know why
push comes to shove
time to make up your mind
will it be 
for love or money
love or money

Hey not so fast, you can hear the big man say
their paid a decent wage and their free to go their way
But it’s just enough to see them through to work another day 
It’s a steal of a deal coming straight out of your pay

One way or another
and it ani’t no lie
when alls said an done
enough to make you cry
push comes to shove
time to make up your mind
will it be 
for love or money
love or money

¯\_(ツ)_/¯  yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  solo

ooh-ooh-ahh-ah
ooh-ooh-ahh-ah

Damn the indifference, damn the apathy
damn us all accepting its the way its gotta to be
How much longer till we end this malady
and the walls come tumbling down

One way or another
with a wink of an eye
when alls said an done
and we all know why
push comes to shove
time to make up your mind
will it be 
for love or money
love or money
love or money

ooh-ooh-ahh-ah
ooh-ooh-ahh-ah

buddy did not like rock, but his influences are notorious in the best and most famous rock drummers who admired him and this would be his first rock, visit his magnificent technique and music on you tube, of course I'm working on more tracks with him.      -Buddy Rich began playing drums in the world of vaudeville as "Traps, the Drum Wonder" when he was only 4 years old; he was completely self-taught and his initial training was carried out through his performances in vaudeville, alternating his facet of musician with that of dancer and singer.

Around 1938 he discovered jazz and played in Joe Marsala's group, from which he left to join the Bunny Berigan orchestra. During 1939 he played with Artie Shaw (at a time when his orchestra was the most popular), and then from 1939 to 1945 (with a hiatus for military service) with Tommy Dorsey, on a historic stage. The prestigious Slingerland battery factory released a series of its famous "Radio King" box, with Rich's signature.

Rich formed a bop orchestra during 1945-1947 (which was not very successful), toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic, recorded with countless 1950s stars for Verve (including Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Art Tatum and Lionel Hampton), and worked with Les Brown, Charlie Ventura, Tommy Dorsey (1954-1955) and Harry James (between 1953-1966, without interruption). A heart attack in 1959 forced him to rest; he returned as a vocalist, although without forgetting the drums.

In 1966, Buddy Rich formed a big band that would be his main occupation for the last twenty years of his life. His heart began to give him trouble again in 1983, but it was impossible for him to give up music until his death from a heart attack in 1987. His remains are at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles California.

Why Deberly? Because sometimes I get it wrong. 
Once upon a time during my early elementary school days I was being interviewed on a TV station.  The interview went something like this:
Interviewer:  And your name is..............
Me: (in a very quiet voice) Debbie
Interviewer: Beverly?
Me: (in a much louder and somewhat offended voice) NO!! DEBERLY!!
I said my own name incorrectly on TV and it has been a little joke ever since. 
Sigh.

Deberly Takes A Spin

The epic saga, ‘Land of ZED’ continues! About 1 year ago, Uziel, Stonerjazz and I started a collaborative prog rock style concept album around the concept of ‘Johnny and his Magical Squeezebox’. We’ve been having a lot of fun playing with different styles, breaking all the musical rules, and writing our own soundcloud inspired mythology. 

For the past 3 songs we’ve been working with a new collaborator, Francesca (a.k.a. Zed) who has added a cool new twist to our sound.
And on this track we’re pulling in a fifth artist who contributed an amazing set of lyrics: Jo Richter (a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches). Thanks for joining us!

Lyrics:

Pt. 1

the shining stone
deep in the mountains
the golden glow
brought forth by fountains
raising in moonlight
raising in moonlight
the golden note
created a player
weaving the node
to cross the mire
of red-shifting ire
of red-shifting ire
the jet black stone
deep in the mountains
wailing in woe
brought forth steep chasms
sucking up moonlight
sucking up moonlight
night‘s dim vibration
created a slayer
cloaked in delusion
trouble to sire
with red-flaring fire
with red-flaring fire
oh, flyers beware
the world is on fire
oh, walkers beware
of footing the mire
oh, jonny beware
never to tire
never to tire

Bickering bikers boyish bravado..emboldened they sly and Jellyfish Souls.
To Plant a finicky trickity fine bomb.
in the administrational heart of Zed.
in the mountain's monstrous mouthcave
Where Roy resides and cruelty is King.
For fear of ferocoius felines prowling the ring.
Imposed by the iron imposter this fine will ask
each creature looking more than three feet ahead
to forfeit three loaves of of freshly baked bread.
Those that cannot comply will lose the sight in one eye…

Pt. 2

Crystalizing at caverns edge
Mouth all shining as we make our descent
We outta be... weary and beware
Perhaps more troubles ahead?
Guided ourselves past the terrors
Into starlight shifting patterns
Of stalactites in space underground
We out to be wary and beware
Perhaps in this beautiful world
More troubles...
Ahead?

The Administrational Heart (Land of the ZED #9) w/ Uziel, Zed, Stonerjazz, and lyrics by Jo Richter

Letra / translated lyrics:

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la vieja madre...   /   the old mother...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la tierra extraña...   /   the strange land...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...


Son tus raíces   /   Your roots are
más profundas que el tiempo.   /   deeper than time.
Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,
y tus bosques en hambre,   /   and your forests to hunger,
y tus hombres en tierra.   /   and your men to soil.

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
tus cantos lejanos...   /   your distant singings...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
ahora están muertos...   /   are dead now...
ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...

THE SUN IS ROUND, THE SKY IS BLUE,

HOW SWEET IS LIFE, THE WAR HAS DIED,
TO HEAR THAT SOUND, IT MAKE'S ME CRY,
THEN I FOUND MYSELF IN ANOTHER LAND,

THERE'S NO BRIGHT SKY MORNING'S,
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY,
(middle)
THERE'S TIME'S WHEN WE SHOULD LIVE
AND ACT OUR PART,
THERE'S TIME'S WHEN WE SHOULD GIVE
AND FIND OUR HEART,
AND LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD,
(break)

THERE'S NO BRIGHT SKY MORNING'S,
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY,
THERE'S NO FINGER POINTING,
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT MAKE'S YOU CRY,
