Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

You Promised Me - 2021 Mix

‘The psych vibes echo round the valley bouncing off the sheep as they tumble and fall’

This is a collaboration with Tez aka Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych
It sprang out of one of our interchanges in relation to another track.
The lyric is full on nonsense in the tradition of Edward Lear/ Lewis Carrol, but contains a story within.
We had fun, hope you like it

Llanpsych is responsible for the guitar, beats (backwards and forwards are from Looperman - Pineapple Beats by Manson Productions), synth noises and bass
I am responsible for the lyric, vocal, strawberry flutes, sheep, monsters, mix and master

The Perils Of The Psychedelic Shepherd
   
When the sun comes up, on the Valley of the Psyche
Who is this, riding on his bike

All mistry glinps e foggly grools bestow le vallee Psyche 
A headstoll tills a tell abol de herol bade de low

Here the muchroom trees, make a dappled shade
And the brewery lees, form a beer cascade

He gensil bowl, he magit ban, he givid om lee hibsile
Egg-genrous man, he magit ban, soul – wakling by lee roadsile

He fought for his flock, against the Bandlerock
It’s snickering claws, tore his shepherds smock

Tenbendrous fight, all through the night, o hero he be kilded
Now his morbual soul, he gardes all, and Bandlerocks bewilded

So enjoy collaborating with others, like my good friend, Lawrence Farr. It is enjoyable because they do all the work! Lawrence had this posted for a bit on his side of the cloud of sound.  I just want to put it up on mine so I can listen to it easily. Love me that Do Wop. And, thanks a million Lawrence!  My friend Nicky on Fiverr played guitar!

3 Christmas Cards

card 1
The snow is falling through the pines,
And a gentle wind is blowing
As the flurries fly, through the moonlit sky
The winter world is glowing

I wish you peace, this special night,
I hope the new year works out right
And I wish that we, could get together for a while,
I miss the laughter, and the adventures, I miss your pretty smile,

card 2
The house is shining warm and bright
The chimney smoke is flowing
Inside the people smile, and for a little while,
Their hearts are overflowing

I wish you joy, this special day
And I hope the new year goes our way,
I wish that we could see you here again,
I miss you, and I love you, and I'm lost without my friend

card 3
As this town gets dark, there’s skaters in the park
And the carolers are singing
Such a pretty scene dressed in red and green,
And joyful bells are ringing

And I wish you peace,
I wish you love,
And I wish you all your heart dreams of,
And I wish you hope, in times when hope seems lost
I wish this for you, and for    me, and I wish it for the world.
