With the constant barrage of noise from 'man made' things, fighting for our attention every waking second, many of us forget the soft call of natures voice.
'Jeanes' songs tell stories of sleeping fields, breathing trees & drunken bees.

Inspired by an article by Ian Macdonald about Nick Drake which said 'sensitive young people often have a horror of being understood for fear of losing their uniqueness, and in the process finding that they are not as unique as they like to think. The vocal was recorded in Catherine Hershey's Parisian home, with wonderful notes of morning bird song coming through the open windows.

Simple Jayne is the first track from the Sleeping Leaves EP.

I once met a girl,
she chose slowly
…what she told me 

we talked for a while,
…she said something
but then nothing,
..lips moved no words came

hides in her thoughts,
what she feels,
can’t be said,
they’re just her thoughts,
shes frightened others feel the same,
then she wont be unique again,
… just simple jayne.

with lapwing she plays
and humms slowly
….for him only … 

whatever she plays
the bird smothers, with feathers
no words can away

hides in wood groves,
with eyes never painted,
fringe grown past nose.
afraid if others hear her words,
her deepest thoughts wont be just hers
shes hiding words

I once met a girl she chose slowly what she told me.

lyrics (Takaka NZ inspiration):
Là-bas
les oiseaux chantent 
et c'est bon signe
Là-bas
tu peux poser ton sac
tout est paisible

C'est le paradis
des hippies kiwis
au rythme tranquille
une petite ville
peuplée d'indociles
peuplée d'âmes libres

C'est l'alternative
des styles de vie
en marge de la machine
Takaka
où l'Art et l'art de vivre
se cultivent

Là-bas 
les oiseaux chantent 
Là-bas
à Takaka

C'est là-bas 
que tu trouveras 
ta mélodie
C'est là-bas
que tu trouveras
ton utopie

à Takaka

Spire (Live At The Louisiana)

My interpretation of "Reach Out I'll Be There", the song re-written by Richie Kotzen  / from his Album "Mother Head's Family Reunion" (1994), which includes lots of favorite rock licks of mine and these have affected my playing style in varying degree since then...
>> Guitar Solo begins at 2:15

This is for a sort of rehabilitation and for a change...and thus is a kind of literal cover (almost no arrangement except on the vocal section and a few small compi-fill/obbligato additions) unlike in the most of cases I usually arrange the song a lot whenever I do a cover...while vocal parts (including backing vocals, chorus) are substituted by the Synth organs / 3rd verse sections and ending solo part are omitted in this cover.

I first covered all songs in this album about 20 years ago (all by ears)and played with my band, and have not played for a long time after then...but fortunately still could recall all licks in this song:) 
Hope you enjoy. Any feedback will be appreciated.


[Music Info]

The song was originally performed by The FourTops (written by Dozier Lamont Herbert, Holland Brian, Holland Eddi /1966), and Richie Kotzen revised it in 1994 for his album, played by Richie Kotzen (Guitars, Vocals), John Pierce(Bass Guitar), Atma Anur(Drums) and Tommy Funderburk and Timothy.B.
