Une Fantaisie Opus 25

I have again the honour and pleasure to share with you a piece by my friend Philippe Blanc, it's part of his album "16 Ans"....
he asked me if I would like to play this piece for him.....a little story goes with it, he had composed this for a girlfriend in his younger years, but never told her about this piece.....
I hope you will like to listen to it, as much as I enjoyed playing it....

SONG NOTES AND LYRICS:
Let the rain come down 
Take this river to the sea
Let the rain come down
Take this river to the sea
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen 
Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen
Way out here
It’s just the rain and the river me

From the top of this hill 
How this river flows
Doing what a river does 
What a river knows 
Let the rain come down 
Take the river where the river goes 

Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

The Rain and The River and Me

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, & production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum

This song began as one of Joe's catchy songs, originally written with all the instruments. He & SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani wrote the lyrics about becoming a musician. Joe offered this song to Josh who immediately shared it with the EC gang.
Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen then matched Tez's energy with guitar fills in the second half of the song. Then Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo, using an arpeggiator to get a kind of mechanical sound that matched the AI theme. Finally, one of our resident pros, Stephen, expertly mixed and mastered it. 
This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, & don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting it together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, & gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by Michele Ansani & Joe Stroffolino
Music by Joe Stroffolino (@joseph-stroffolino)

When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed & every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar & I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day & most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become an expert at your craft
(“Chorus”)
But now all it takes is two commands & an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum & sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe & beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine
I had a steady paycheck that could feed me 
And the record companies didn’t need me
In my fifties once again my musical juices started flowing
I bought the necessary equipment 
I was eager to get going
I recorded all my strumming & saved it onto my PC
The internet & technology were advancing rapidly
I took those special songs I’d written of which I was most proud
Posted them Instagram, You Tube, Tik Tok & SoundCloud
I asked myself if a tree falls in the forest & no one’s around
Does it make a sound?
(repeat “Chorus”)

well the devil doesn’t need another advocate but I am often called a bad influence so…….

Just improvising again. This time, I tried to be more "classical" with a slight "etude" touch. Hope you like this one. Please enjoy.
