all we want ...

I am basically an IT person but I've been making music as a hobby for decades.
When I was young, my parents hardly bothered about what I was doing as long as I made my grades.  So they never seek to listen to my music.   Same can be applied to my wife & son.  At best I got was “nice songs”.    I recall somewhat fifteen years after graduation, I had the chance to meet the old folks again.  Those whom we either sort of played or at least listened to music together.  I thought perhaps I could share some of my music.  So I dubbed about 15 CDs and handed out but that's the last time I heard from anyone on the subject.   Couple of years later, I was foolish enough to repeat it with relatives and of course ended up similarly.

I shared the story with Mellina and said I should make a song out of it as the phrase “no response, no reply, not even a single lie” just kept circling in my head.   Ten days later she came back with this piece of beautiful lyrics which I gladly used with gratitude.   Then I went on to complete the melody.

So this is it.  Hope you like our work.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Those long paths of childhood
Were sometimes spent on my own
While my heart was full of music
I never felt I was alone

So I thought they'd be proud
And that they'd all want to share
Because I remember there was once a time
When they always seemed to care

CHORUS
There was no response, no reply,
Not even a single lie
When I handed them my dreams to share
I have to ask them why 
There was no response, no reply,
Not even a single lie
No word of support, no open arms,
And no questions why

With time we all grow and change
Yes I know that now
But where once we'd laughed together
It's like they'd forgotten how

Instrumental

My music has been my constant 
A friend and my guide
A part of my life that didn't change 
And that I never left behind

Repeat chorus

Hiding Away

This is a collaborative dub with my friend Chris Maness (@cgmàness), who is shredding the guitar in this one. It's not based on any particular song, just what my fingers found to the beat. I love dub, as you can probably tell from my song catalogue. If you're interested in doing one with me, please contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com. I can either work on yours, or you can work on one of mine.

"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.
