Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

An acoustic guitar duet. Shael and I have different, complimentary playing styles heard here in this simple recording. Just two guitars...and  a little rainfall.

Jim Croce has always been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine.  
I decided to do another one of his tunes.  I wonder what great
song he might have written if he was still with us?  Thanks
so much for listening.

I Have To Say I Love You In A Song ( cover - Jim Croce)

"The beatings. The coldness. You never saw a smile."

Jimmy Stewart recounts experiences which are piercingly harrowing - but not uncommon.

He is one of thousands of survivors of institutions for children in Northern Ireland, where abuse of young residents was widespread.

When he was eight, Jimmy was taken into Nazareth Lodge in Belfast - a place he quietly describes as "a nightmare".

His mother had died of cancer, aged 32. His father was deaf and unable to speak.

"Though he tried to look after us, he couldn't," Jimmy says.

He remembers the nun who met him and his younger brother Patrick at the door called them "wee mongrels".

The boys didn't know what that meant at the time, but later learned it was a reference to his parents' mixed marriage - one was a Catholic, the other a Protestant.

Jimmy Stewart remembers getting "the mother and father of all beatings" after he ran at a nun when she was physically abusing his younger brother, Patrick.

The vivid nature of his memories are clear when he describes how a nun beat him "with her weapon of choice - a rung from a baby's cot, with piping and light blue paint on it".

Explaining how he became an alcoholic, Jimmy says: "If you ask anyone who's a heavy drinker, they'll tell you that you don't dream in a drunken sleep.

"You don't have nightmares. You don't have flashbacks. It numbs you. Keeps all that stuff away. Until the point it's going to kill you. Which it nearly did to me."

He describes spending "three years behind a locked door in my own house".

"I hadn't bathed or shaved. I think the last three months I spent in the same bathrobe."

He began to recover after he went into hospital.

But his older brother, Victor, "drank himself to death".

Jimmy becomes particularly emotional when he talks about how Victor was "so much changed" by what happened in Rubane House.

"We were always close. But those years took it out of us."

As an adult, Victor "couldn't discuss it - he probably didn't think there was any help for him".

Jimmy regrets deeply that Victor hasn't lived to hear the state apology.

Lyrics.

Hello little mongrel
Come on in
This is just the place
To cure you of your sin

We'll beat you black and blue
With whatever comes to hand
You'll learn to obey
All of our demands

I drink to hide the flashbacks
I drink to numb my mind
Therapy's no good for me
I'm afraid what I will find

You took me and my brothers
Took us down to hell
We never had a smile or love
Became an empty shell

I can't believe in afterlife
I wish I could at times
They'd throw you in the darkest place
To pay for all your crimes

I drink to hide the flashbacks
I drink to numb my mind
Therapy's no good for me
I'm afraid what I will find

You got away with everything
Now you're not here to find
The children trusted to your care
You left broken and maligned

Just a little song that I wrote awhile back.  I intended to rework but
never got around to it.  I kinda lost interest in it.  Oh well, seems I 
have a lot of these unfinished projects

Dangerous Feeling

Summer Solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere occurred on Tuesday, June 21, at 2:14 AM Pacific Standard Time here in the United States where I reside.

Creating a ceremony or celebration is a way for humans to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.

The Solstice signifies the time when the Earth is at the fullness of her strength, fertility, and abundance, so we too can celebrate our strength in joining together, pollinating our spiritual consciousness through sharing, and offering gratitude for the abundance that which we experience daily.

Nowhere To Run {Original}

Time slips away.

Speak For Love (Brian Peters)

Little Lady stepped out into the world
Little Lady was still mama’s little girl
One baby later, she was still twenty-five
Her marriage on the rocks but she was glad to be alive

And love is blinded in innocence
And love is calling out for defence

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

Little Man went walking in his daddy’s boots
Little Man was just following his roots
Wild dreams and schemes on the stock exchanges
Wild oats and loneliness among total strangers

And love is crying out to be heard
And love is holding out the living word

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about the third world debt
Some talk about a nuclear threat
Some talk about inner city crime
Some talk about intelligent design
Some talk about corporate greed
Some talk about terminator seeds
Some talk about the ascetic life
Some talk about simeon stylites**

And love is knocking at the door
And love is undergirding every law

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about global warming
Some talk about turbine farming
Some talk about genetic cloning
Some talk about the lunar landings
Some talk about ghetto thugs
Some talk about the superbug
Some talk about democracy
Some talk about conspiracy

Some talk about the world trade towers
Some talk about a one world power
Some talk about save the whales
Some talk about fairytales
Some talk about visual highlights
Some talk about navigation satellites**
…(to fade)

"Your Cheatin' Heart" is a song written and recorded by country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1952. It is regarded as one of country's most important standards. My Dad loved Hank Williams...my first time trying to sing this classic.

Your Cheating Heart - Cover by Tony

With Halloween soon upon us and all the creepy fun that it entails, we wanted to do something a little different from the usual ghouls, goblins and ghosts for this year’s fun. Nat had this idea to have a play with the great pop song David Bowie wrote and made famous in 1969. A song that speaks perhaps to drug addiction as much as anything to do with the vast and gloriously scary expanse of outer space, we tried to put our own Daniels & Durgy spin on it. Though generally in line with Bowie’s fantastic composition, we made some subtle changes to introduce a little love interest to the picture...does his wife actually work as one of the Ground Controllers?! Enjoy the journey and Happy Halloween everyone!

Space Oddity

Space Oddity (Bowie cover)

Did a Creative Cover of this one 5 years ago, but wanted to re-Record this early Neil Diamond masterpiece another time with an "Unplugged" Live style capture.
Version by Riff Beach via RiffWerx Records & Production. Martin GPC-11E, Hohner C Rocket Harmonica, Volt 476, Logic Pro X, Ozone Advanced 10.
I Am I Said - Original - Neil Diamond
LA’s fine, the sun shines, most 'the time 
And the feelin' is laid back
Palm trees grow and rents are low, but I ’feel…..
I-gotta’-start making my way back
Oh, I’m New York City born and raised, but nowadays 
I'm lost between two shores.
LA’s fine, but it ain't home…… 
And, New York's home… But, it ain't mine no more.
(Chorus)
I am I said….to no one there
And no one heard at all, not even……
The chair
I am, I cried
I am, Said I
And, I am lost, and I don’t……
even know why
(Leaving me lonely - still)
Did you ever hear about the frog who dreamed about being a King?…… And suddenly became one?
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
My story's the same one
But, I have an emptiness deep inside so strong 
it won’t let me go
And, I'm not a man who likes to swear, but I've never cared….
for the sound of being Alone.
(Repeat Chorus and Out)

I Am I Said - Revisited

I was sitting at home recovering from surgery and decided to try recording a raw version of this great song written by Josh Turner and released in 2003. It spent 30 weeks on the Billboard Country Charts.

Long Black Train - Raw Cover by Tony

This is a happy account of that special time of the year where we can often just wander through the throngs of people and spirit of the Christmas season. Nat wanted to capture that classic, old school holiday pop song vibe. Think 1950’s or 60’s. No need to look for anything but the most common denominators here as we wish everyone the happiest of holidays the Christmas season!

Lyrics: Christmas Time With You

Whooooo can you feel it
There’s magic in the air
The smell of home made Christmas pie
And there’s yule tide planning ‘till the morning light

All the world is full of cheer
And the church bells ring out clear
The glow of lights blocking out the night
As it jingles and it jangles to our hearts delight

So we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song

People rush to hurry by
All the parcels sweetly tied
There’s a Santa ringing a shiny bell
But he’s not St. Nick and the kids can tell

But the magic of his Cheer, 
Will remind us why we’re here
To rekindle love for all mankind
And to share a bit of kindness through this holy time

And so we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song..
Kiss me sweetly, and hold my hand
On this corner where the band
Is playing our Christmas song

Christmas Time With You

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, Music and Mix by Chuck Aaron

LISTENIN' TO THE WHUPERWILLS
IN THE SUMMER MOON LIGHT
WHILE CATCHIN' FIRE FLIES
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

SETTIN' ON A CREEK BANK
WITH A FISHIN' POLE
CATCHIN' CAT FISH
AND WATCHIN' TADPOLES

(CHORUS)
GROWING UP IN THE SOUTH
THE SUMMER'S WERE HOT
A COLD GLASS OF SWEET TEA
SURE HIT THE SPOT
EVERY HOUSE HAD A SCREEN DOOR
YOU DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE
NO, DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE

(GUITAR SOLO)

SETTIN' ON A FRONT PORCH
ON A PORCH SWING
STRUMIN' OUR GUITARS
TAPPIN' OUR FEET AS WE SING

BIG FRONT PORCHES 
WERE THE GATHERIN' PLACES
FOR SOME STORYTELLIN'
AND GOOD TIMES

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

Lost & Lonely

The Older I Get

I had posted this song a few months back last year with just acoustic guitar, vocals and harmonica. Russell Sinfield heard it in his own special way and wanted to add something to it. He took up the tempo a little and then got Gary Reeves to add percussion. He then did the bass himself and finally had Gavin Stephens to do the trumpet. I was quite blown away with the end result! I hope you don’t mind giving this song a listen again. These are three supremely talented artists and I can’t thank them enough!

When I’m Young Again – Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Met a man with a broken wheel
Had the ride of his life
He turned to me to make a deal
To do it one last time
Off we went into the night
Through the dark I drove
The sky with stars and satellites
The road with tar and stones
Then he spoke after a while
Said things have really changed
Guess I’ll be where I should have been
When I’m young again

I was wondering about my friend 
Just what had turned his tide
Did he think that this journey’s end
Would be one happy ride
Do you know I was happy once
In the silence he spoke
His tone of voice had me in a trance
Like a reed that broke
It’s always once upon a time
And on and on, on this road
Guess I’ll write my own fairy tale
When I’m young again

Twice I stopped for fuel and beer
Back on the road we went
It was all becoming clear
This was no accident
At last I spoke and asked him straight
Where he wanted to go
He smiled the smile we smile at fate
And said where I was before
Each passing year I think of him
And of that journey so strange
Guess I still want to be with you
When I’m young again






When I'm Young Again - with Russ, Gavin and Gary

Getting old makes me reflect.  Seeing family and friends pass on.  Seeing older people of my generation living their lives sometimes without the physical or mental capacity to remember, feel, love, seemly lost.  It is sad but that IS part of life.  IT'S OK

Brenda – Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj 

Showstopper, pill popper
What’s it all about
Bad weather coming down
The fans sing and shout
Cry heaven, earth in ruin
A battle won and lost
Somewhere up a Muslim moon
Somewhere down a Christian cross

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation

Survivor, revive her
She can’t die again
What will we do without her
The last link on freedom’s chain
Cities fall, madmen rise
Fear everywhere
Kids learn the facts of life
From bigots who don’t care

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation
Oh…it’s a situation
A bad situation

Singing sweet and strong
Weeping deep and long
What voice comes to you today?
Singing sweet and strong
Weeping deep and long
What voice comes to you today?

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation
Oh…it’s a situation
A bad situation

Laid to rest, she was the best
To her grave alone
With every song she ever sung
To find a way back home
A lone wind calling, sirens howling
Somewhere someone screams
If we could lay our weapons down
And like her start to sing

Wonderful 70's Tune originally written and performed by the most talented Singer-Songwriter, John David 'JD' Souther https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Souther
Souther's partnership with Linda Ronstadt led to her beautiful version of this Original song being featured as the third track on her Grammy Award Winning Classic album, 'Heart Like A Wheel' - released in 1974. The song has been covered by others, but the Ronstadt version is the Gold Standard and more than survives 'The Test of Time', even today!

This version is my own 'AcoustaTronic' sketch. Hope it's enjoyed in its own way? As always, Thanks for Listening. Most genuinely appreciated, along with comments, likes and/or reposts. Many Thanks! 

Continued Best Wishes on your own musical journeys, whether you're an enthusiast, performer and/or producer. Music is the Beat of Life! :D)))

Faithless Love - Version

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Headed on the way to Out of Reach
To plop ourselves right on a Beach

Work’s all done
....and, we’re having Fun
Lazy days out in the Sun
No more time for ‘On the Run'
We’ll find a place
And make a space
Just feel those rays upon your face
Oh, Man, how we love this pace

Oh, Lord, won’t ya’ soothe (save) my soul? ......

Thinkin’ about some of the places that I’ve been
New York, Paris, Berlin, and Rome
Still, I’d rather be in your arms again
I just wanna’ be Back Home
Yet, here I am……out on my own
Sometimes, feeling mighty and strong
And other times, tired….and all alone
Yet, I just keep on sailing right along
(Chorus) 
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again…….
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
(Left) Thinking of how things might have been
(When) all I wanna’ be is Back Home
Seen the rising and setting of the Sun
I swam upon The Seven Seas
Held it together and came undone
You know this heart is hard to please
(Post-Chorus)
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
Thinking of how things could have been
But, all I wanna’ be is Back Home

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

WHEN YOU GROW UP IN THE COUNTRY	
COUNTRY'S IN YOUR BLOOD	
NO SIDEWALKS AND RED LIGHTS	
YOU DON'T GROW UP IN LUXURY	
	
WE WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY	
TO A SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH	
BACK AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY	
TO HEAR THE PREACHER PREACH	
	
WE GATHERED ON THE FRONT PORCH	
IN THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL	
LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME	
SOME OF THE BEST TIMES OF ALL	
	
(CHORUS)	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU MIGHT STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD…..........	
YEA, YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD	
	
AT HARVAST TIME IN THE FALL	
IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK	
WE HAD TO ANSWER THE CALL	
SOMETIMES A PAIN IN THE NECK	
	
THE COTTON FIELDS WERE WHITE	
AND THE ROWS WERE LONG	
WITH NO END IN SIGHT	
WE SURE DID SLEEP AT NIGHT	
	
GOOD TIMES AND GOOD MEMORIES	
AS MY MIND GOES BACK IN TIME	
I REMEMBER MY MAMA CALLIN'	
COME HOME...IT'S SUPPERTIME	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS 1 or 2 times)
