For those of you who haven't discovered Orlando "The Don" Lund, here's your opportunity.  Orlando is a serious pro, having built a career as a writer, multi instrumentalist and producer in London during the '90s Soul Funk era, leading and creating with some of the finest contemporary jazz and funk musicians in Europe.  You can hear many of their great tunes here at https://soundcloud.com/orlando-lund.  If you are into grooving music, almost no one does it better.

Orlando approached me about playing on a tune I had released here, What the Funk, quickly sending 5 tasty tracks to me - a solid grooving bass line, a congas line, two rhythm guitar tracks and a George Benson style guitar solo.  I've worked them all in here, adding them to all my keyboard parts, creating some sweet soul jazz for your listening pleasure.  Check out Orlando's wonderful Palma Groove Project recordings on his gallery - really special creations.  

We thank you as always for your generous listening time, for your comments and for your shares.

Deeper - Couch King and Russ

I think this track started 2 years ago. I remember talking about the vision with Jamie on the phone and then Jamie sent me a bunch of stems to choose from. I chose the standing bass and recorded my verse with a 90’s vibe in mind. I sent the track over to Russell to add some guitars, he sent that funk rock intro and riff back, and then I don’t know what happened after that? A bunch of other songs got made and the vision for this track expanded to include cutting my second verse and bringing Jon Lock in on vocals. Then the song sat again. Jon and I even started and completed And So You Say and Training Day after we had already got this song started. Since this track was visioned to be part of the first song on the set with Training Day, eventually it had to be completed. Wou-Wou then join in with his synths, rhythm guitar over Jon’s part, and some additional guitar over the first section. This gave the track the final fire it needed and Russell mixed and mastered it like a champ!

As always, massive thanks to Wou-Wou and Russell who have been regular collaborators on so many projects, on SoundCloud, Facebook, and Bandcamp. Wou and Russell will always be the core of my musical team. Thanks for being great friends! 
Big thanks also to Jon, who I have worked with on 3 songs now, with 2 more in the works already! 
And thanks to Jamie for all his patience, support, and for the completion of our second project together!   

This song goes out to all the music nerds, appreciators, and lovers with strong opinions. Keep those conversations going. I spent many, many years, going to the record store several times a week, hanging and talking with the staff, some who became good friends.

Lyrics 

Everything changes 
Nothing stays the same 
I used to hate it when my people would say it's a shame 
Stating that the games gone lame 
Claiming that today the music is wack 
At times I would refrain and take a step back
But most of the time I would counter attack 
Back in the day, we would say, Clever repartee 
When we were clowning around 
But now a days we taking the things a bit more serious 
Or maybe it's just me, see 
I ain't playing around as much as I used to be 
Conversations at a minimal 
It's not that I'm more critical or cynical 
It's that I am a more apathetic individual
I  just don't care 
Call me hypocritical 
I be like that's fair 
Yo
What happened to all the innovators, rhyme slayers, originality generators
You know
There really all still there
Back in the days we had to dig in the crates
Looking for the lessor known greats
I guess that's still the way it operates 
Hates a narrow minded state 
And It take effort to educate
So 
I’ma stay open and keep on diggin’ 
Vibin' on the sounds that I be hearin’ 
Yea 
And you know it's like that 
And you know and you know and you know it's like that 
Keep keep on, keep keep on
keep keep keep on

And you know it’s like that

Here comes the backup plan
The man without a name
Don’t want to be no star
Just musical acclaim 
Brush back those famous hats like children in the street
I’m gonna sing a bit while Couch King cracks the beat
Whoa baby now shake
Like momma told you now
Whoa baby now shake
Like this was made for
This is a slice of funk
USDA prime
Let it get to your head
You will feel fine
Poetry in motion
Images in time
Back beats and refined commotion 
Aged like fine wine 

Any you know it’s like that

jeff tweedy’s bio tried hard to review tunes without capturing whom the song might sound like. so, in that honor here’s my attempt. 

go go go then stop slow and low cookin’ on a recently outlawed 4 burner gas stove. the stock pot has boiling pasta fagioli on the front burner; a low slow rolling boil. simmering on the back burner is honey-dripped sauce soon to be ladled over braised short ribs. paired with a 69 year old black licorice liqueur.

So we are stuck in our own ways
I try to spice things up but your eyes have long since glazed

CHORUS
Perhaps in a sad song
Is where we truly belong
Stuck in a sad space
Like half of our fellow race
A tale with a sad sting
You never felt anything
Are we just plain sad or just a phase?
[We are stuck in our own ways
We sunk without a trace
We are stuck in our own ways]

How we struggled through hard times
Searching for some true love but true love is hard to find

CHORUS

So we are stuck in our own ways
But I will break free from this glue one of these days

Stuck In Our Own Ways

Music is the closest thing to heaven. Make music.

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement.
