A Wisconsin anthem...sort of....
Are you addicted to cheese curds? Crave whitefish livers and a cold Leinie's? Spend hours sitting on a bucket, ice fishing at twenty below zero, but release all the fish cause you'd rather have a burger?
Another single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021. 
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Strat playing the fast-picking melodic riff and my '66 Guild Starfire XII filling things out and playing the lead. They are joined by my Gretsch 5622T and '78 Guild S-60.

“Clockwork Clouds”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Nothing I say gives you a clue.
You just want me singing the blues.
But I don’t know how to choose—
too many things jostling my mind like leaves in the wind.

And this corn looks so fine, but I’m losing my mind,
living out here in the countryside
with these cows and this corn—
never forlorn—some say it’s paradise
and I guess that’s maybe true but….

CHORUS: Take me through the skies
above the world we know,
looking at these clockwork clouds from so far below.
Take me past the stars, somewhere far away.
Looking at these clockwork clouds for so many days.

Tell me again, why am I here?
Looking at clouds in the stratosphere.
I don’t feel so alone cause I’ve got this here phone,
the Packers on the tele, a sixpack on ice.

When I’m walking the fields calculating the yields,
the clouds are floating by like cottony shields.
There’s manure and milk, soybeans and corn silk,
Bears fans down in Janesville but I don’t mix with that ilk, so….

CHORUS

Wisconsin’s my home so I’m never alone.
There’s cows and curds and cheese and birds
and whitetails in the woods.
And there’s wolves and black bears,
our meatpackers shares,
the green of spring and gold of fall really tell it all.

We harvest ginseng roots, trim Christmas tree shoots,
grow fine leaf tobacco for your big cheroots.
Red tail on the wing, it just makes you sing.
Turkey vultures circling like angels in the sky.

And there’s cows and there’s corn, whitefish livers and porn,
Northwoods hair salons where no one lives but the trees.
And there’s trout streams and hills, Lake Superior’s thrills—
ice fishing in winter, sitting on a bucket in the wind.

With a lot of change in life recently, I found myself thinking about a poem I wrote as a high school student. Here is a rough sketch of that poem...

#blues #jazz #experimental #loops #70bpm #original #demo

AT/NIGHT [Demo]

Improv never intended for public. But I've decided to live like the world is coming to an end... because it likely is. Bounced to stereo as my raid array failed spectacularly, this's all that's left of those lonely sessions. Melancholy musical mumblings and a picture from NASA Worldview. Is our house and the 2020 Oregon fires that nearly took it from us. The last few secods are the best part. imo. =j

Learn about sea ice and why it's important to all of us.

More about Sea Ice...  "Going South" 
Here another version hear...
https://youtu.be/oqgE3rlG5SE

no methane whatsoever

Walk on this earth
Like the corpse in the night
It's hard to be alive
Hard to be alive
When you die

Prophecy has reach the end
Walking with the sword in hand

Life you know
Will never be same
Call me madman
Call me insane

Life you know will end today
Final warning, end of game

Hear my voices
In the night
Darkness never
Was so bright

Found my soul
Six feet bellow
Plead forgivness
Time to go

Found my soul
Six feet bellow
Plead forgivness
Time to go
Hear my voices
In the night
Darkness never
Was so bright

Step aside, beware
It's near
Find you guilty
Now and here

Three two one start to run
Haunted by unholy one

Eliminated, mission complete
Now there's something more to eat

Target down, to the ground
Decapitated, head not found

Hear my voices
In the night
Darkness never
Was so bright

Found my soul
Six feet bellow
Plead forgivness
Time to go

Found my soul
Six feet bellow
Plead forgivness
Time to go
Hear my voices
In the night
Darkness never
Was so bright

Darkness Never Was So Bright

My next approach to the solo guitar. I am getting deeper into the hybrid picking territory. Maybe it's hard to recognize, but this tune was strongly inspired by playing style of the Great Chet Atkins.
I hope You enjoy!

LYRICS:
I have no other way to do this
I won't take these days for granted, i won't be that stupid
So many lanes ahead, which one I'm choosing?
I take the lane less traveled by and keep it moving
I take the lane less traveled by and keep it moving
I know the devil is a liar who you think you're fooling?

Hiding horns under a white hat that's not confusing
They gonna try to come around me when I start improving
They gonna try to slow me down when I control the cruising
But i'ma act like I never knew what you was doing
I know the devil is a liar who you think you're using?
I know the devil is a liar who you think you're fooling?

Don't get me wrong id rather know love than question it
I was very tired, spending days as a pessimist
Don't even know what day it is
Waking up, I chewed a hole inside my cheek again
I knew I tasted pennies there was blood all on my teeth again
All I need to know, what do I have to do to win?
And this won't be the last time we ever meet again?

I have no other way to do this
I won't take these days for granted, i won't be that stupid
So many lanes ahead, which one I'm choosing?
I take the lane less traveled by and keep it moving
I take the lane less traveled by and keep it moving
I know the devil is a liar who you think you're fooling?

Hiding horns under a white hat that's not confusing
They gonna try to come around me when I start improving
They gonna try to slow me down when I control the cruising
But i'ma act like I never knew what you was doing
I know the devil is a liar who you think you're using?
I know the devil is a liar who you think you're fooling?
