Lived on Blues Point Road for 10 years, till 2020. That's Blues Point Hotel in the pic. I thought 'Blues Point Road' would make a good name for a guitar blues!

Always with you (collab with J.J. Terrell)

This is a song that Steve of Steve's Planet wrote and for which recorded the vocals and acoustic guitar. He then gave it to Ken (K2 and the Three, K2 and the Four) to play with it. Ken added rocking drums and perfect backing vocals. Ken then sent it to me, and I added the bass, organ, piano, and more, high backing vocals. Then we got Tez (Llanpsych) involved to work his magic and mix the beast, which he did masterfully, as usual. This is our first song with Steve, but it certainly won't be the last. We hope you enjoy it.

The latest from The Smoking Trout,  this is "Get On The Bus".  
I had a great time with the crew on this one.  Terry did a masterful job pulling all the elements into a cohesive track. 
Enjoy this one, it's a bus ride to infinity!

The Smoking Trout collaborative is back with another installment in The Quest for the Holy Dumpling (follow the whole story here: soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/sets/quest-for-the-holy-dumpling). This time I partnered with Terry/Tea R. Sea on the production, and we're featuring Nadia Selvaggi who also joined us on 'amanita muscaria'.

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus

TESTO
Confuso galleggiava 
Cercando la sua strada 
Pensando a quel sorriso
Di quando era partito 



E la notte non passava
Col vento un po’ sospeso
Parlò col primo uomo
Lasciandolo sorpreso
Sai perché sono qua 
Il sogno mi rende libero 
Lo so non mi giudicherai 
Siamo due storie da scrivere 


E quanta storia da scrivere
Per chi come te 
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso dei sogni ti occuperai 





Lo so per te è strano 
Ma non sei tu il
Fallito
Soltanto per il fatto
Che non mi punti il dito 
Non mi hai guardato male 
Né dall’alto al basso
Sei solo inciampato 
Come molti sul mio passo





Sai ti ho capito già
Sei uno con troppa sensibilità 
E non sai quanto , quanto ti costerà 
Ma quante pagine che scriverai 



Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai 



Ma in fondo sai
Siamo simili 
Ma non hai ancora perso come me
Chissà se questo mondo mi ricorderà 
Chissà se questo incontro ti servirà 


Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai

LYRICS
He floated bewildered
Searching for his way
Thinking of that smile
From when he had departed
And the night wouldn't pass
With the wind somewhat suspended
He spoke with the first man
Leaving him surprised
Do you know why I'm here?
The dream makes me free
I know you won't judge me
We have two stories to write

And so much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will take care of your dreams

I know it's strange for you
But you are not the failure
Just because you don't point your finger at me
You didn't look at me badly
Not from top to bottom
You just stumbled
Like many in my path.
You see, I already understand you
You're someone with too much sensitivity
And you don't know how much, how much it will cost you
But how many pages you will write

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

But deep down you know
We're similar
But you haven't lost like me yet.
Who knows if this world will remember me
Who knows if this encounter will serve you

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

Hysteria (Live Texas)

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
