Surfers like Us ….. guitar, co-composition

This time, our duo invites you to face the illusion that prevents us from living our real lives to the fullest. We create an illusion and can't escape it. It could be some kind of addiction or toxic love. Whatever. We are in a maze and can't see the way out. Maybe it's time to break these shackles of illusion. Maybe the way out is in our mind. That's more or less what our piece is about! Enjoy listening to it 🌔

In the Trap of Illusion (w/ Well)

poem / copyright jo richter:

time has slipped below the dial  
into an interstitial zone -
an abyss marking mass‘ modal 
iterations, as interference-prone 

as any mental skill held in a vial 
made of human flesh and bone -
meta-breathing arbitrary model 
citizens, grouped in groups and cloned alone

This song is a rollercoaster ride of emotions as a tribute song to my grandfather who inspired me to be a musician. A big shout out and thanks to J.J. Terrell for your wonderful piano and organ, and to Stephen for all the work you did on guitar and in the studio mixing and mastering this wonderful ballad. 
I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone on this track because I knew I would've regretted it if I didn't. Going through a bunch of my grandpa's stuff a few years ago, and I got his guitar as well as his hat. When I got home I wrote this song. Miss you Grandpa, and I hope that you somehow hear the song and are proud. 

Lyrics:
Verse
When I was a little kid I can't remember all I did
Another year another memory fades
I used to ride my bike to school banana seat no I wasn't cool
Parents split up didn't know where to stay
Chorus
In my darkest hour was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
woooh oh oh grandpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat
Verse
My teenage years were crazy I did some things that rearranged me
Looking back I'm lucky to be alive
Played door check with some cones prank calls on the phone
Gun in hand how did I survive
Chorus
In my darkest hour was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
wooooh oh oh granpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat
Verse
Now I got kids of my own, pretty soon they'll be grown
Mama's gonna cry the day they move away
You see time is moving fast, and we all are gonna pass
When my time comes I know I'll be ok
Chorus
In my darkest hours was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
woooh oh oh grandpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat.

Grandpa's Hat-w/TexMex Shaman & J.J. Terrell

The Veronese Riddle (Italian: Indovinello veronese) is (say the most) a riddle written in late Vulgar Latin on a parchment sheet, belonging to an Oractional, probably in the 8th or early 9th century, by a Christian monk from Verona, in northern Italy. It is an example (say the most) of the internationally widespread writing-riddle, very popular in the Middle Ages and still in circulation in recent times. Discovered in 1924, it is considered the oldest existing document in the Italian language.
I think it was nothing more than a monastic chant, and this is my surreal musical interpretation. And I think it wasn't italian language ...

The text, with a literal translation, runs:

Se pareba boves
alba pratalia araba
et albo versorio teneba
et negro semen seminaba

In front of him (he) led oxen
White fields (he) plowed
A white plow (he) held
A black seed (he) sowed.

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony on the end vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– banjo, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, melody and harmony on the end vocals
This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking Josh and the Eclectic Collective if they'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. Josh came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and Josh polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Turning Point

Here I found a real widespread community of great musicians and a lot of good music to listen to.
I am an elderly university professor of history who enjoys playing and composing: unpretentious, just for fun. As a consequence, all my recordings are handcrafted and largely imperfect.
Thank you in any case for stopping here to listen to something; in the description area you can find often explanatory notes or lyrics translations.
