I checked out the track here and it sounds good. We are hosting a music contest for musicians like yourself to get quick constructive feedback and for fun. I think you might be interested, please go to https://goo.gl/ZwjZS9 for more info if so.

Some time ago John Baker (@ldchool) sent me this great backing track he created and asked me to play a lead break on it. After I did we recognized that this track strongly deserves vocals. So I sat down and searched for some words to get some lyrics together and thought of a melody to sing. Then asked my friend Marcus to come over and sing. We all are very satisfied with the result. Thanks to John's mixing skills and Marcus' voice it turned out quite nice.

Let The Good Times Roll

Like breathing, improvisation is an unconscious flow from within.
Of course, one must understand the basics and have spent a good many hours building a tonal memory, but once one gets the knack of it, improvising, no matter what the instrument, is a Gift that keeps on giving. :)

As you tap into these inner autonomic cycles, you reach a Zone that's beyond anything you could consciously think of or plan. Like one's heartbeat, it's in tune with Life itself. It just happens. 

In any case...I love it when the Music is 'Floating'.......'Levitating' so to speak... not really going anywhere in particular, but tonally and rhythmically totally Present.  And... as we get better and better at finding the door to this experience, more and more wondrous music begins to manifest itself through us. it's almost as if we aren't even present.

Then the hard work of Arranging and Mastering begins!  :-D 

But be that as it may... for the Best experience of this one, I suggest you put it on Repeat at a Medium volume and let it go for 10-15 minutes.  it's sure to help you 'take a breath', become lost in peace, and relax deeply. :D  

May you inJOY. :-D

Written during lock down, I think it needs another Mix.
Another track from this Album is:

Entropy

On the Scale of One to Ten (2021)

Written in 1995.  I thought of the title, got a dictionary, a thesaurus, picked up my guitar and 15 minutes later I had this.  Listen with headphones.


The Soul is Defined


The soul is defined,
As our spiritual part,
The soul is defined,
As what we keep in our heart,
It’s the wheels on our car,
Going‘round and around,
Forever searching.

The soul is defined,
As our passions and affections,
The soul is defined,
As our moods and imperfections,
Our dislikes, our predilections,
Going ‘round and around,
To keep us searching.

But there’s more to this 
Than you’ll read in a book,
There’s more to this 
If you’d just take a look,
What I feel inside,
whatever emotion
Whatever frame of mind,
What makes me whole,
That’s my soul.

The soul is defined,
As what drives us along,
The soul is defined,
As what makes us belong,
It’s what’s keeping us strong,
Going ‘round and around,
Always searching.

Avoiding all confusion,
It’s all down to evolution,
But that doesn’t stop me singing,
There’s more to this
than what you’re thinking…

The soul is defined,
As our spiritual part,
The soul is defined,
As what we keep in our heart,
It’s the wheels on our car,
Going‘round and around,
Forever searching.

The Soul Is Defined

The Witch Purges Of The 1600s were Terrible.
Many Innocents Went To Their Deaths
And Today,,,,,Times Have Changed
But Some Things Remain
WITCHFINDER
Lyrics
I Can Tell By Your Stride
You Have A Self Righteous Kind Of Pride
Does Your Big Black Cloak Help You Keep Your Darkness Inside ?
Does Your Hats Tight Leather Brim
Help You Keep It All Within ?
Do The Marks Upon Her Skin
Convince You Of Her Sin ?
Let The Trials Now Begin !
Chorus
And Let He Without Sin Cast The First Stone
One Day All The Black Sheep And Scapegoats Will Find Their Way Home
Until Then
The Blind Must Be Lead By The Blinder
Run Hide Your Cats
Here Comes The Witchfinder

20 Shillings A Town Just To Track Your Quarry Down
She's Tied To Here Chair
Lets See If She Drowns
There's No Bleed From Your Dull Knife
And So She Forfeits Her Life
"You Were Seen Communing With Crows"
"Does Their Wisdom Come From A Cackling Below ?
So Your Tearing Them Down
As You Travel The Towns
Your Making Quite A Name
Does The Silver They Pay You Help To Shun The Shame
Chorus

It Doesn't Matter How Many You Persecute
We All Turn To Dust
And There's A Witchfinder
Inside All Of Us
Where Are Your Cats ?

Yes We Can Barack Obama

A song I made as farewell for President Barack Obama
Check the video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTxMbiMiHk4

The innocent years

Yes We Can

Yes We Can ( farewell tribute to Barack Obama )

From an iMac with some digital plugins and a small soundcard trying to make some modest music. Everything - from epic choirs to a small piccolo -  is played on a little midi keyboard. It's not perfect but highly satisfying!
