This song here is one I had covered a while ago with my buddy The OASPM and I was really happy with it but it seemed to sit on the shelf even as much as I believed in it.  And then, like I do every song, I remember there's no vocals idiot.  

Hopefully now with Rekha's magical track as part of this song, it will bring a second wind and help others to enjoy it that may have missed it the first time around.

Easy

Easy - with REKHA

This is my first TMS proper tune since Chunka a few months ago, but I've had lots of fun working with various collaborators since then, so thanks to everyone who jammed with me or graciously asked me to play on their track.  i had fun with all of them

This is something that popped in when I wasn't trying to write it.  I started with the second half of the song first and was kinda stuck on how to start it.   I was listening to my friends in Electric Hokum @electric-hokum and their latest couple of tunes and they were killing it.  Just going to town and that was kinda the inspiration for the first part of this thing.  So, thanks guys!!


This is a rock/metal/psychedelic kinda jam.  Hope you enjoy it !

I'll Try (Only For You)

There's Lizzards on the walls in my hotel, it's hot as hell and it don't smell like my home town.
There's strangers in the halls, and the Punjab calls
while children laugh out loud without regard or regret

Ensconced in cotton course and white
the Charpois wait for another night
and the jet is on the runway, waiting for the northern flight
and Kashmir waits with open arms and mountains bright.

There's Lizzards on the walls of my hotel
Theres loaded Tongas on the teeming street that's lined with open stalls of spice and fruit and brass and salt and hanging meat.

There's Lizzards on the walls
Marigolds strung on strings wrapped around all kind of things.
Beggers on the street with broken arms and legs and feet, still smiling as they reach through diesel fumes and swarms of flys and eyes that stare longingly for some relief.

The Privileged life it dawns on me i didn't see till then and there
where a thousand stare in disbelief 
Humbled like a thief before the judge.

There's Lizzards on the Walls(a distant memory)

Love sick

Lyrics: 

What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
Can I believe?
When you hold my hand and keep me near,
Your eye tell me lies,
Tell me lies, my dear. 
.
What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
Can I believe?
When you hold my hand and keep me near,
Your eye tell me lies,
Tell me lies, my dear. 
.
If only,
I could tell you you were beautiful
To me.
.
If only,
I could let you know with just one dance 
That every chance to love you,
Is a gift from you to me.
.
If only,
I could tell you you were beautiful
To me.
If only. 
.
If only,
I could let you know with just one smile
That the way you make feel right now 
Helps me to be me somehow. 
.
I wish that I could find the words to let you know,
That the lies your eyes say,
In my mind,
Are the sweetest words,
That I,
Will ever find. 
.
I wish that I could find the words to let you know,
That the lies your eyes say,
In my mind,
Are the sweetest words,
That I,
Will ever find. 
.
I'm still-
Haunted my dear
Haunted by you,
When you're near.
I'm so- 
Haunted my dear
Haunted by you,
When you're near.
.
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
Oh I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
.
What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies, 
Oh your eyes tell me lies,
Yes your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
In your eyes 
In your eyes
My surprise is in your eyes. 
.

Your Eyes Tell Me Lies

Your Eyes Tell Me Lies (2023)

Original Song by J.J. Terrell

Original lyrics:

A lake, an ocean, to be crossed
The light shining through the surface, sometimes lost
Around the bottom of the sea we almost cried
I was never colder than that artic night

Going straight ahead is all that I can do
Up and down, all around; life's whirlpool
Lay my tail upon a rock
And dream

The schools of fish seemed lost in all the noise
A passing whale who lost his voice
A nice warm pool of a fleeting duel
A cloudy red trial, a happy ruse

The light shining through the surface is sometimes bright
The deeper you are, the harder it is, to tell day or night
Travel far and wide

The Lost Merman 🧜‍♂️

Vocals mastered by: Mark McClellan

Lyrics:

I'm staring, My eyes tearing through the night as I rest my head
Trying to forget what reveals itself in the light above my bed

Face the spider parallel on the ceiling
To maybe change my perception of feeling
Maybe if i stare so long
it'll become so numb
just trying to overcome
Might not need a chase of rum
Or even a hit to make me dumb

The dreaded fear that's above my head
Like the cover of a book that is barely read
Every eye, every leg, It's own demon
Should I flush it all away with the spray of my semen?

Just close your eyes
Move on closer
Open wide
Take a bite
Accept the sin
swallow it down
Take the monsters in
And turn them around

Facing Fears

I've wanted to cover this Grateful Dead tune for some time. Composed in 1970, the wonderful, timeless lyrics were penned by Robert Hunter, with music by Jerry Garcia. A bit of a departure from the band's early psychedelic music, it really hearkens back to Garcia's early roots in folk music. I tried to preserve the intimate character of the original song, while putting a bit of a different rhythmic vibe to it. Hard to do justice to this amazing classic, but I wanted to lend my hands and voice to it anyway.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

J’AI APPRIS MES LEÇONS
J’AI SUIVI LES MOUTONS

C’EST UN MONDE
PAS MOYEN DE S’ENTENDRE
EST-CE SI DUR D’ÊTRE TENDRE
ET DE SE TENDRE LA MAIN

PETIT PRINCE
MONTRE MOI TON ÉTOILE

POUR M’Y REFAIRE UN MONDE  

PETIT PRINCE
J’AI CASSÉ MON MOTEUR
TOI TU REPARS AILLEURS
T’OCCUPER DE TA FLEUR

PETIT PRINCE
PLUS MOYEN DE SAVOIR
PLUS MOYEN DE SE VOIR
SAUF AVEC LE CŒUR
 
PETIT PRINCE
C’EST POUR TOI QUE J’EN PINCE
REPARTI DANS L’ESPACE
VERS TON ASTEROÏDE

Hey, what can I say? Sometimes it gets rough. But it's still good.

on a summer blanket
in the moonlight
with the beach stones stirring
after midnight

i am ready
and i dare

god you know you’re tired
may you rest now
many ways to try it
lay the load down

i am ready (good to go)
i am there (going)

hey hey hey who
checkout avenue

on tomorrow’s bastion
once immortal
now you sense the ending
as a portal

i am ready
honeybear
i’m not waiting 
i am there

i am ready (here’s my ride)
and i dare (good night)
we’re not waiting (good to go)
we are there

"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.
