It's need-to-tell-this-to-my-therapist music Thursday! Please welcome our new imaginary combo "The Lamineers":

Sergio Párraga: Congas, Campana y Güiro
Jeff Roberts: Electrified Bass
me: what's left

Thank you a million Jeff and Sergio for having joined me with this ride. The road to get there was rather stony and winding --- some conversation excerpts: "I chose to enter the labyrinth of twisted meter and rubato alleys" --- "shall we call this one quits?" --- "man that is one idiosyncratic piece" --- "I take it as an adventure" --- "get that suckah out there!!!!!!!!!!"

There's no voices in my head, but they must be right
Danger's everywhere
Everything is fine, but you need to keep in mind, you really need to keep in mind
Little white round enemies

Alligator's coming

Come on, let's hide in the swamp
Nobody can see us, we're hidden, just shh
Kwui

Alligator's chasing its own tail
How did we get here?
Nobody can remember, but it was a perfect plan
OK there's a way out, but we need to find a bar

Left? Right? Straight?
Wrong direction, wait!
Light, streft, reight!

Come my brave soldier, shelter is near
We're out of provisions, but we still have a beer

Alligator's coming
Alligator's
Alligator's coming

Little white round enemies, mean mean calamities
Little white round enemies, leave me my identities
Alligator's coming

Soon we're there, just six bars more to visit
One
Two

Alligator's coming

I Wanna Know

Hey Folks…. Hope all is well wherever you are. In that relative sense of the world being as it is right now. A cold Spring here so far. A little snow, freezing temps, but that will change soon with the new heat dome dropping down upon us from the north. So instead of composing songs, I have been outside quite a bit these past few weeks… I tilled and began planting the vegetable garden. Snow and sugar snap peas are germinating. I planted 3 varieties of lettuce plants from seed I grew and saved from the past few years. If you don’t know… Lettuce ‘goes to seed’ when the plant ‘bolts’ by sending up a 3 foot flower stalk, which looks pretty cool. I usually let some lettuce bolt each year. A while back, I used to market about 300 heads of lettuce a year, but now just grow 50 or so heads for salad. That’s a lot of salad…. I also planted leeks from seed plants I grew last year, after letting the leeks overwinter. I was dreaming about potato-leek soup, when I first planted leeks, and well, the dream was better than the soup. The garlic patch is up, from last autumn’s planting. I call the patch ‘The Garlic Monster’, as it has grown in size over the years, the unruly beast that it is. There were some overwintered Swiss chard plants that I dug up and transplanted to a side spot in the garden, hoping to get some seeds this year from those plants. Beets, carrots and rutabagas have not germinated yet. (It’s been cold.) I dug up 3 large rhubarb plants I grew from seed that I collected, and moved them to a new bed as the spot they were in was a spur of the moment decision that wasn’t working. I do harvest and prepare rhubarb each year, but it is definitely an acquired taste, so I tend to compost some of what I pick. (Most of it…haha.) I transplanted 2 aspens and a pie cherry sapling that grew up too close to the house. The main aspen and cherry trees are easily 10 yards away from where the saplings were. I am always amazed at how tree roots grow in search of water, this time for dripping water off the house. That phenomenon is called Hydrotropism. I moved the saplings to an open area of the yard where I hope they will sprout many more trees to create a mini grove. OK… that’s enough gardening stories for now…. Don’t you think? I need some for the next song… hahaha. So with the colder mornings, I have been recording songs every other day or so. I had 3 songs recorded and well and they were all sketchy/wonky in parts. One, a true story, was about this dude threatening me with a handgun. (That song was way too political)… another was a sobby, tear-jerker of a lament, OMG… sure I felt that way, but seriously dude? The third was a loud and dissonant slide song, which happens when I need to burn off some negative energy. I was bummed after listening to all of them, so I did this song, as a last ditch effort to salvage my musical dignity. Ha! So let me know what you think… Thanks. I am heading off SoundCloud for the Summer months. See you when the leaves begin to turn, or maybe when the snow flies. Gonna miss ya’ all… Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship. Have a great couple of months wherever you are. Mark

James Bell (a musician I met on mp3u.com a dozen years ago) approached me recently with an idea for a song. He described the style and wondered what I might be able to do. Well, I know my limitations, so I turned to Ray Brookes, who in no time created a marvelous arrangement to support James' smooth vocals (when is the last time you heard a sousaphone used for a bass line?) Old-school sound? Ray and James captured it so well (yeah, that's me in the backing vocals...minimalist that I am ;)

Lyrics:
The Girl Of My Dreams


You're the girl of my dreams
I fall apart at the seams
Whenever I see
The Girl of my dreams

Everyone knows
I feel so aglow
Got my head in a spin
Can't you hear my heart singing

MIDDLE
The way you dance, I'll take the chance
To win your love someday
So let's dance. I'll show you romance
In the old fashioned English way

The bells will chime
if you say you'll be mine
and every day you'll be
The Girl of my dreams

Bell: Lyrics, melody and lead vocal
Brookes: arrangement
Wigmore: production and backing vocal

Girl of My Dreams -  Bell Brookes Wigmore

Come & Stay

Don't you hate it when people start describing a dream they had? I hope not..

I saw an angel in my  dream
Torn and tattered were her wings
And She revealed the truth to me
And it brought me to my knees
It made everything so clear
And my eyes filled with tears
But when i wiped the tears away
Her words had faded in the day

I met a man who came to me
From a land across the sea
He had stardust in his eyes
as we looked toward the sky
He held my face in his two hands
I  felt the fire flow through his veins
And I trembled in my fear
As I whispered in his  ear

Show me the way to get back home
Show me the place where i belong
Give me the stars to light the road
Show me the way to get back home

if it's not too late
Show me how to change our fate
and we all have lost the way
And there's no time left to wait

As i stand before you now
Feeling naked and ashamed 
At the mercy of it all
because I gave it all away

Angel, please return to me

Show Me The Way Home

Cast of characters:

Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar

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

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–electric piano, vocals

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

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–lead guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass guitar, vocals

  This song started with Artur composing a brilliant, open piece on his guitar, in his distinct surf rock style, and sending it to Josh. Josh put the bass down on top of Ken's banging drums, but it took Josh, a while to be able to get this one for some reason. Once he and Ken were locked in, though, they knew they had it. JJ then sprinkled his electric keyboard magic, followed by Tez, who lights up the whole thing with his electric guitar wizardry. 
  At Artur's request, Ken, JJ, and Josh added the big harmony vocals, "See you soon, in a better world." Artur wanted this song to be about the need for peace in the world. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen added the sitar intro. He also accomplished the herculean task of mixing and producing the whole thing for us.
  This is another true team effort by the Eclectic Collective, and the fourth in our series of surf rock songs. This also happens to coincide with Artur's birthday, so please go to his page and wish him a happy birthday. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
