This is a song that originated with JJ, who was kind enough to share it with Ken (K2 and the Three, and the K2 and the Four), Tez (Llanpsych), and me. I have to say that this was the most fun I've had on a song in a while, mainly because it allowed me to play out my Miles Davis fantasy that I've had brewing for the past 30 or so years. I like to imagine my guitar part as a trumpet part. The reason I'm able to do this is because of JJ's amazing modal keys parts. He's playing a major against a minor riff over an uncommitted bass line. That bass line happens to be rolling along over top of some highly innovative drumming by Ken. It sounds like water falling or someone tripping down the stairs to me. Perfect! After we had it all recorded, we sent it to my man in Manchester, Tez, who painstakingly put it together into a live sounding, balanced song. This was truly a team effort and one of which I'm extraordinary proud.  We all hope you dig it, as well.

Old trains, new trains come wailing down the track while old dogs howl at the moon and the trains. Something oddly comforting about such neighborhood sounds.

Wonderful collab: Jano and the Electronix composed and played the music. He wrote the lyrics a while ago. This pearl was waiting to be found!   Melancholic Mood Verse 1: Dark clouds passing by, Grey days as time goes by. A drop falls, a deep sigh, In my soul, spinning high. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Verse 2: Thoughts flying far and wide, Lost in my own world's tide. A smile faint, yet heavy as lead, In this rain, so cold it's spread. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Bridge: The wind tells tales, Of times gone by, The melody of life, We can't always guide. Verse 3: Yet, at the core, a spark of light, A glimmer of hope in the night. Melancholy breaks its might, And a new day comes to light. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Outro: The clouds move away, Making room for new rays. Melancholy in the rain, A moment, a silent ballet.

Lyrics:

I will give you a chance
To find out if this is romance
Or am I just wasting my time
Tell me, will you ever be mine?

You have to find out
What you want
What this is about
So make up your mind now
If you don't love me, ill go 

What do you do?
What do you do?
what do you do?
What do you do?

mmm

So make up your mind now
If you don't love me ,ill go

I aint gonna crawl
Pride and stubbornness  
I got it all
You will only get one chance
To find out 
If this is romance

what do you do?
What do you do?
what do you do?
What do you do?

mmm

You will only get one chance
To find out
If this is romance..

What do You Do?  (Original)

Apologies to listeners who left comments and liked, as this is another tune I have previously loaded here but took it off to remix.
Lyrics
Wherever you are going to well I’m coming too 
We’ll go north south east or west 
You can choose wherever you thinks best 
And if we share the driving we can drive all night 
And see where we end up in the morning light 

Or we could set sail on the open sea 
And have our adventures on the high seas 
And live like buccaneers wild and free
Or you perhaps might prefer drier ground 
Well it’s up to us to choose wherever we’re bound 

Just come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home 

So we can go here there or anywhere 
Or if you prefer we could just stay here 
So long as we’re together then that’ll be fine by me
And the road may twist and turn and rise and fall
And there may be hard times but we can take them on

Just come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home
So come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home…….

Long Way Home

Let’s Take The Long Way Home

"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.
