Description: Keit posted this raw, raunchy and rockin' blues collab a while ago and I finally had a chance to crank up the Marshall and join in. He leads us off, I jump in (panned slightly right to separate us) and we trade off as we go--with him taking us home. If you wanna hear more of Keiton, he has some killer tracks here... https://soundcloud.com/keitblues

Gotta luv these men's mad skills...Hell of a good TRICK lick!!! Way to play that neck! Whew!  <3<3 <3  MM, yep! >>>

Rocking drive and that guitar sound is dirty.

This is a piece I wrote many years ago, and recorded this duet with myself on Mandolin, and my good friend Allan Cook on Guitar.

I uploaded this piece some time ago as private, and shared with a few people whom I have come to be friends with here on SoundCloud, but have decided to release it publicly, at the urging of one such friend, Liz Dicker (Thank You Liz).

This is a special piece to me, as I wrote it when I was much younger, about 20 or so. In addition, my sister Kristina requested it for her wedding in place of traditional music.

It was also a defining moment, when Allan and I realized we had a special musical connection. I wrote the mandolin part, and when I showed him what I had written, he picked up his acoustic guitar, and like magic, he just knew what to play to perfectly accompany what I had written. This was not the only time this was evident, but it was the first time it was crystal clear to us both.

This recording is an excerpt from an extended improvised jam session we had with other friends, and for which he has the entire recording on his channel. It was recorded informally, and as a live performance, or perhaps better described as a group of musical friends having fun. We opened the recording with Allan and I playing this piece, and then went where the wind took us from there.

I hope you enjoy listening.

If you are interested in hearing the entire recording, it is at the linked track below.

Baroque Mandolin Guitar Duet

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps

Portal To Another World

Cast of Characters:
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – acoustic guitar, bass, acoustic slide guitar, drums, vocals, subtle harmonies  during intro verses, lyrics, mix, production, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –-mandolin, vocal harmony

This is a song that I wrote and shared with Josh last spring. We worked on it for several months. Originally, it was just acoustic guitar and some vocals. To that, Josh added some mandolin, thinking it would stay that way. However, I ruminated on the initial raw version, surprising Josh by adding the rhythm section and better recordings of my parts after the fact. Josh came up with the high harmony towards the end, which blew me away and was the catalyst for a vision to flesh this idea out as best we could. We always have a lot of fun playing together as our tastes and references are very much aligned. We have been making music together almost since we both joined SoundCloud and found each other there about two years ago. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.
As a side personal note, I only wish we had extended the song, which maybe I can get Josh in on that idea. I do like the short and sweet version that leaves you wanting to hear more, but I digress.
~Josh IS the hub and catalyst of this and any great track we collab on! The force is surely strong with this great virtuoso and aficionado! Those that know, know. ❤️
Much Love!
Big respect and gratitude to you Josh! Love making these tunes with you buddy!

"In Time"
Lyrics:
In Time don't you think it might be time for you to rise?
In Time lost and found sleeping soundly by her side.
I know you by now, and it's not too late to come around.
In Time thinking, missing, drinking, wishing you were here.
In Time aging, watching, turning pages yester-year.
Well, I know you by now and it's not too late to come on out.
In Time don't you think it might be time for you to fly?
In Time don't you think it might be time for you to try?
In Time lost and found sleeping soundly by her side.

In Time w/ (Entheogenic Psychonaught *Josh Clary*)

In this track I used pedal steel guitar, acoustic guitar, water drums, synth pad, electric bass and bell tree.
Thank you for listening !

MyThoughtsWillNotStop (Keiton Collab)

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.
