How tired can we get?

Gotta give it up again for the superb Harry Jacobson and Daniele Petrocchi.  Their guitar and bass playing steal the show on our fusion original, Street Life.  Harry created and plays his chromatic octave theme on the synth guitar and Daniele plays down below with his beautiful sound and taste.  Brilliant guitar playing from each.  Follow their superb galleries:

Mask up and be well.  We gotta get through this.  Get your shots as soon as you can.

I always like when Tom dials in his "mean" tone, so I created this attitude-packed jam track for us to rip over. I kick it off, Tom joins in around the 1 minute mark, I briefly take over the reins at about the 2 minute mark, and Tom snatches them back at around the 2:30 mark. If you haven't already hear all of Tom's stuff (find that hard to believe, but hey...)it's all right here... https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892

"OUT LOUD"

There is a lot of stuff going on
You don't hear my voice anymore
I feel I have to move on
I will no longer feel like this
Ahh ahh or like that ohh...
Cause there is a lot of stuff going on
Ahh ahh ah

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just wanna scream

And there is a lot of things I dont know
You don't tell me them anymore
I just feel I have to move on.. ohh oh
have to move on
Ah like that
Cause there is a lot things I dont know
like that , like this

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just have to scream out loud

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just wanna scream out loud
Ahhh out loud
Out loud 
ahh out loud
yeah out loud

Out Loud (with Stina Crow)

This song is written from a man's perspective, but I think it could be equally valid for a woman. I have plenty of friends that have found their companions using dating apps. I also have a number of friends that have many - let's say - interesting experiences. And, maybe it's best to realize what you've got.

In terms of how this was recorded...there are no real guitars. I used Logic Pro X Revolving Lines with a couple of gain settings as well as the Distorted Stratocaster. There are two bass lines using the Prog Rock Bass and as always I am programming the virtual drummer. The various organs and piano are all Korg SV-1 native with some post processing. Basically it's the same stuff I used for "Forgot To Say" and "Feline Fever".

Lastly, I've noticed that some listeners interpret my lyrics as all personal experiences. In this case I would among many things be a three time felon, met my "working" wife on  a crossing and I would actually be African American - I can report that this is far from my ordinary life.

BLIND DATE

Choosing left and right
An ordinary night
On his own
Scotch in his hand
Microwave dinner
Looking for some company
Some sweet lovin
Looking for a friend
Didn’t want another dead end

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a much better mate

She stepped in the bar
Painted to the nines
Three martini lush & more
Preached about men
Layed down the rules
He looked in her eyes 
Made sure that she understood
She was more than he could
He left that chat for good

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

He looked left and right
Nothing recognizable in sight
And then she said “Hello,
I think you’re my beau”
A completely different woman
His face turned wooden
Oh its so tragic
Not his kind of magic

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

Staying at home
Staying at home
All on his own
Right next to his phone
He heard her chime
Turned on a dime
She said “Honey, I miss you”
He said “Not another blind date,
not another blind date”

Blind Date

My good friend and bandmate Pat Howell shared some of his mandolin musings and ramblings to see what I could make of them. My excitement grew as the production evolved with each "return" to the three note sequence on the mandolin.  As you journey, may all your returns be safe and joyful.

The Return (Pat Howell-mandolin, David Dunham-guitar)

I love how SC brings folks together from all around the world. I've had the opportunity to collab with new friends everywhere from TX (wazzup Tom?) to Germany (proud to officially be called a "Lunatic" with Hendrik and Jorg) to Holland (cheers, Marco!)to Spain (the incomparable Ms King)...to Japan (trading blues licks with Keit)...and hopefully more in the near future.
