Special thanks to my wife Delphine who's taking more and more confidence in singing for my greatest pleasure. Nico, for his wonderful guitar. This guy is just amazing, you can ask him for anything and he plays it right away. 
And this song wouldn't sound as wonderful without Freddie's touch for the Mix&Mastering. Freddie has the patience of a Bouddha Monk, and the precision of a surgeon. Thank you my friend for all your professionalism and your passion that you share with all of us everyday! Such a pleasure to work with you.

Thanks to everyone stepping by, listening, thanks for your likes and comments. It's much appreciated. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics : 
Just tell me why you're so kind
Why you think it's worth to try
Hold on tight
Never change your mind
Let me know what's behind
What you need to mystify
All this time
I was colorblind

How can you be so determined
Holding back your tears and smile
To my lies
If I could rewind
All the words that I can find
Giving hope you can't rely
To keep you fine
Always on my side

I've heard it say before
Like a hundred times or more
That secrets learn to war
Let them blow away
Our love we thought so pure
Is now lying on the floor
I'm feeling insecure
I should walk away


Backing 1
Just tell me why you're so kind
How can you be so determined

Backing 2
Listen to your love
We can all lose our way somehow

Love and Friendship
BY EMILY BRONTË
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly’s sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He still may leave thy garland green.

Love and Friendship. Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking

Trying to remember - Sul filo aggrovigliato della memoria

This is a song that has been one of my favorites for the last 25 years or so. It's a cover of a cover that Jerry Garcia (guitar, of course), Merle Saunders (keys), John Kahn (bass), and Bill Vitt (drums) recorded live at the Keystone in Berkley, CA, in 1973. It's actually a cover they did (I just found out a few years ago) of a song called Finders Keepers by the Chairmen of the Board, which is definitely worth checking out, too. This version is a more laid back, but it keeps the funk alive. 
  The guys who made this quarter century dream of mine come true are JJ Terrell, who plays the funky clavichord and dynamic organ throughout, Ken (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four)who's playing the tight, funky drums and great percussion, and Tez (Llanpsych), who's playing the ripping guitar lead at the end. Tez also mixed and produced this, expertly, as always. I'm on guitar, bass, and the synth lead at the beginning. Can't verbalize how much fun this was for me, and I hope all of us. We hope you enjoy it, too.

Let It Sink In - IPG1 & Paploviante

Written @ 19 years… I’m now 53.., still seems relevant!Hope you enjoy!! If you “ know”… you will know the lyrics I lifted from various places!!😎

Long ago, it was long ago
I promised you in a letter
I would always be your comforter and friend 
Now the times they’re changing 
And it’s time that I made a change 
Cause you know that the end it’s coming soon 

Chorus 
￼ If it wasn’t so I would’ve told you
Things will happen. All just the way they’re planned. 
If you yourself, find yourself
Found that you’ve hit the bottom 
There’s always more room at the top 

Before the Son has risen 
When the sky burns a fiery red
You’ll see, many will see,see and fear

I had a conversation 
And it was all accounted for 
All of this, this will pass away 
And what’s more?
What’s knocking at your door? 

Such a common sight to see
What we’ve all been waiting for
Another rhyme without a reason
Another scheme…￼
But don’t let this elude you 
Don’t ever let it slip away 
I promise you I am coming back again 

Long ago, it was long ago in a room at the top 

Take this message to my love 
My love, love of my life 
All I have it’s all I have and it’s yours for free

We don't have much - Niewiele Mamy - Short 2013 - 2023

Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–overdriven guitar, production, and mix

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song orignated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth lines. I had to, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on my first take. I then redid my bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 

  This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

Lyrics:


Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Said
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Colorful Colorado  - Autumn (feat. Video)

"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.
