These times they test your patience, these times they test your will.
These days you start to wonder if we can climb that hill.
Seems like the levee's breaking, seems like the die is cast,
like today's fading sunset might just well be the last.

But I keep hoping and I keep praying.

Those vultures circle closer, that river's running red.
Those bombs fall from the heavens on fields of smoke and lead.
Some dark portents are looming over earth so choked and strained,
some hollow haunted feeling in the hearts of the tired and pained.

But I keep hoping and I keep praying.

(C) There is the wind, there is the sun, there is the rain.
There is the spark of life, the womb, there is the grain.
There is the will to grow, forever, evermore.
The spirit and the word, the world will be restored.

Illusions cannot blind you, mere shadows can't obscure
the hearts of those committed, when the will and thought are pure.
Those lies that power's speaking are speeches to an empty room,
their folly and their flavor are dust in an abandoned tomb.

So I keep hoping and I keep praying.

There's not one wave that can submerge the will to be.
There's not one war that can consume a soul that's free.

Soft War

There is the Wind

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home sice around 1990 and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(UPDATE: 12/9/2025-I am dropping down my activity on here as life is taking me in other directions and the world is ending, basically. I have stopped reposting as there is just too much AI slop to wade through now and I don't want to elevate it or promote it. The songs on here are 2-3 songs per my current 11 albums, which are available on other venues like Bandcamp and Youtube for free listening or purchase.) 

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture...

but none of that really matters anymore, frankly.

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.

Music producer/musician of many genres. My mission is to take listeners on a journey and hopefully make them smile and enjoy the time they spent listening to my music.

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!
