This was gonna be something then just kinda didn't become anything. So, here it belongs. :)

Happiness, Finally

Literature is a major influence on my music.  As a boy, in the 1960s, I read cowboy novels by Zane Grey (1872 - 1939), e.g. "Riders of the Purple Sage", but no other Westerns until recently.

In April 2023, I'd just finished reading "Butcher's Crossing" by John Williams, which spurred this composition. The novel is set mainly in Colorado and has many highly visual passages. This is one of them. A young man forgets to wear his improvised buffalo-hide eye slits (1870s tech) after a huge blizzard and temporarily loses his sight. His eyes don't recover for many hours, giving rise to much internal anguish as to what his life as a totally blind man might be thereafter.

The piece uses a blues scale to give that North American feel.

... somewhat more elaborate (but simple) composition with soprano saxophone solo in one go - in other words, with rough edges :-) all instruments by me ...

Ticks On My Cat

Lyrics:
its going down-----Its going down-----it's going down-(X2)
Times hard----ain't sitting on no gold mine
This life-------just living on borrowed time 
standby---we---waiting for the next sign
guess what -----not in this lifetime 
now what-----survival ----on the frontline 
The design---flawed----we all running out of time----
turmoil-------another-chalk outline
Clipped wings------there ain't no overtime
No tears---------when-another angel falls
It's critical--------gotta ----make the right calls 
Face facts---the writings----been on the wall
my edge--- my word----my bond---my balls 
------Caught in a wedge-----One mistake---its going down
-----One mistake---its going down
The ledge-----one mistake-------- its going down
-----------
Its going down-----it's going down-----

Seems like dreams----another dimension 
Sounds like Screams -----just to get my attention 
Some things are same -----but most-- different though
Where the hell----do I fit in---in------this---scenario 
Will some one clue me in -----on the things ----I don't know
Shit will be a lot better-----once I know ----once I know-------
------once I know ----once I know-------

I know the mission
Not the game----
The pieces aren't the same---
I know I'm living---- why? 
cause there's-----constant pain

Blazing a trail to the unknown--don't need approval
Raising hell all the way ------Because--that-that-shits vital
They done raised the bar-----on basic survival 
People dying for a living---toss out the Bible 
One thing---holds through---- an eye for an eye
Inhale exhale---awaiting ---your turn to die
---why cry----------dry your eye
Keep---fighting-for the cause-------it's do or die
Limited -choices----Till the second we expire
----The battle goes on ---each and every---day
Next move -------plan the strategy--make the-right--play
--Change is vital-won't have it-any other way
-Form an opinion------ but hold your judgement -if you may
Your perspective might----suddenly change---- some---day

As long as I'm able----living ---life my way
-----------approaching ---life my way----------------
Ain't pulling no punches --- taking them out in bunches
Hope you ate your wheaties ---or at least packed your lunches

-------------------------------------------------

Seems Like Dreams

This is a song that began with Steve (Steve's Planet)writing, playing it on acoustic guitar, and singing it on a stem he shared with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four]), who added some perfect drums, as always. Ken then shared it with me, who added bass, and Tez (Llanpsych), who added some brilliant, tasteful guitar fills. We then got JJ involved, and he added the great, undulating organ. Finally, we got the master chef involved, Chris (cgmaness), who came up with some killer guitar riffs and mixed the whole thing very expertly. It must've been quite a chore, too, because there are a lot of magicians in this show. We all really feel lucky that Steve shared this song with us, and admire his singing and songwriting. We hope you enjoy our creation!

Little excerpt from a gig a few weeks back. There was an old piano lurking at the side of stage so Dani wondered over and gave it a good bash mid set - i made some pretty average bass noises in the background : )  pardon the audio quality -  its a straight raw capture from my trusty zoom . Vibe is good though

My old SC mate Micah played drums to test a friend’s recording set, and sent me some cuts full of improvised breaks and tempos. I love time changes, yet this was really challenging!

I finally chose two of them and jammed with bass until I learnt his story telling.
Then, I clicked on the red button, again and again.
