'Ink on paper' is an improvised guitar instrumental that can be listened to as the second track of a set starting with 'The Himalayan Letter' (first track). I imagine the letter being read by the addressee... The Himalayan Letter can be found here:: https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/the-himalayan-letter-open-for

Detail to the track is that I recorded it on the sofa 5 weeks ago and I completely forgot about it. Until I listened to my little experiments and found this piece. I mixed it giving extra attention to the reverb.

Goodbye

Mike Spring posted a wonderful acoustic guitar piece about a month ago and offered it up to Soundcloud as an Open Collaboration - https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/open-collaboration - Thanks to Mike for sharing such a fine platform.
When I first heard it, I hoped it could make a powerfully poignant song. Let me know if you think it works.

Lyrics and vocals - Mark J Bennett

Believing,
You’re leaving,
Souls cleaving
Apart.

Bereaving
I’m grieving
Like breathing
By heart.

Relieving
And releasing
A healing 
To start.
  
Pre-ordained,
Parting of the ways.
Maligned in,
Terminal decline.
Where’s the ‘good’ in
Saying goodbye?
Au revoir, Adiós, Ciao…
A different word,
In a different way 
Won’t make it OK.
Goodbye darling,
Darling, it’s goodbye…

Goodbye darling,
Souls cleaving
Apart.
Goodbye darling,
Like breathing
By heart.
Goodbye darling,
A healing 
To start.
Goodbye

MINOR ROAD BLUES

Robert’s at the crossroads
Jack, he’s on the road 
Johnson’s at the crossroads
Kerouac’s on the road.
Me, am just sittin’,
Waitin’ on the money,
That I’m owed

Hittin’ keys on this contraption,
Ain’t made me no money yet 
Still lookin’ for a piece of the action,
While I’m gettin’ deeper in debt.
Perhaps, you’re inclined to a little benefaction,
I’ll take me whatever I can get.

Robert’s at the crossroads
Jack, he’s on the road 
Johnson’s at the crossroads
Kerouac’s still on the road.
Me, am just sittin’,
Waitin’ on the money,
That I’m owed

Minor Road Blues (With Mike Spring)

Mike Spring posted a great open collab some time ago, which I'd heard on Jim (telefan)'s page. Today I decided to add a little eBow guitar which I hope compliments his lovely melodic playing.
Thank you Mike.

Many Years - MIKE SPRING And Spade♤

Thank you, Mike Spring, for this collaboration! We hope you all enjoy the wonderful sounds! https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring
Music and lovely guitar: Mike Spring
Lyrics and vocals: Lisa West/Faerytale

Many Years
A song was heard from afar upon the mountains to the sea
Kings and princes were lost in pursuit
Of a whispered melody
Some gave up the search calling it legend
Some grew to fear the sound
Until a mighty man, lost in deep sleep was awakened
His heart was unbound
[Chorus]
He said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine
Many years is not enough time
You were calling, I couldn't see
I was lost in a dark reverie.'
[ ]
He searched known realms, but when the song faded
Turned to a foreign place
Arriving where many roads meet, he saw a lovely face
She did not know he watched her there
As love overcame him, sweet
For the melody long sought for sprang from her dancing feet
[Chorus]
She said, 'I'm going to dance and you'll follow me
If you can dance along, there may be a kiss, we'll see.'
He followed her every move, didn't miss a step
She said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine. Many years is not enough time.'

Ropey one shot version at a classic Hendrix classic. Full cover version to follow.

Hey Joe - Jimmy Hendrix

Workin' Woman Blues

Yesterday I took my German nylon 3/4 sized acoustic guitar off my living room's wall and played a few notes. I stopped and took a small hand recorder and pressed 'record'.

In the background you can hear some noises every now and then. It is Anthea typing a letter. This is why I wanted to call this instrumental 'The Letter'. When she heard the mixed version however it reminded her of the Himalayas. I recognized what she meant so I decided to call it 'The Himalayan Letter' ... 

A second piece is about receiving and reading the letter...  https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/ink-on-paper

Check out too this collaboration with Gianni Fugaa: http://soundcloud.com/fugaaa/the-himalayan-letter :)

Acoustic guitar improvisation mixed in Cubase 6 with standard effects (delay, reverb, etc.) and Summit Audio Grand Channel VST channel strip

Peace

Just got new 10"-46" Regular Slinky chords on my guitar. Tried them with this late rainy day slow blues progression in B. 
Kind of BB King Style.
Hope you're in the mood for a nice cup of hot coffee...  :)

BB Cafeteria Approach in B

In general blues is quite accessible to most musicians, especially when it comes to collaborating. Here: a nylon string acoustic guitar track. A minor blues improvisation recorded with the same moderate hardware like the previous upload. Same Sunday & same quarter of an hour plus same typewriting background sounds ;) Mixed in Cubase 6 and external VST.

Instrument: a twenty year old German nylon string acoustic 3/4 sized guitar made by Herbert Shäffner

This song was open for collaboration for a while. At least eight soundclouders created their version earlier. Listen here: http://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/sets/collaborations-on-the-minor/
Many thanks all! Mostly appreciated.
