Guiding light

Well I just don’t know where I’d be without you
Or if I’d be anywhere at all
And it chills me to the bone to think about it
When loneliness comes knocking at my door.

You’re the only one
Who truly knows me.
And yes, indeed you put up with a lot
And in return I’ve tried to do the right things.
But mostly more often than not.

You were still there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night.
When I can’t find my way through the darkness
Make no mistake.
You’re my guiding light.

Sometimes you can’t fix what’s been broken.
Then a man just has to just accept his fate.
But I thank the Lord above that you still love me.
To help me bear that crushing weight

And you’re there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night
When I can’t fight the way through the darkness:
Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light.

Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light

Make no mistake
you’re my guiding light

Guiding Light

This song is about getting the hell out of a place I really wasn't happy with , hope you like it !

I'll Be Gone

A song about waiting in line at the grocery store and trying to resist the urge to read the tabloids. I usually end up looking.

Tabloids

Géminides

Pat Pik - Géminides

It seems there are always horrific conflicts/crises everyday. It seems they never change..the events/the causes/the excuses/the regrets.  I think these events are not as complicated as they seem and ghat the solution is equally simple. We are born with empathy and bond to each other and the planet and we slowly learn/are taught otherwise. We have to find the way back

so how about this time we really follow through with all our holiday cheer and have goodwill towards men all year

lyrics:
Gaza is crumbling
both sides are crying
nothing will be gained

Kiev is on fire
for one man's desire for fortune and for fame

"defund the police!"
"You will not replace me!"
stupid empty words
spoken in hatred
solving nothing
but keep us in a downward spiral

the map to peace
you've always had
but you never found the treasure
always looking in the wrong place
never knowing what to measure

the answer to peace is the golden rule
you know, the one you never do but always say
love your brother as yourself 
and all this goes away

Find your way

Lest we forget
We need to remember
We see the signs
And we act upon it
Why does the system
Where is the mind
Where is the world gonna be
When we are all left behind

Do we care?

What are you thinking
In that mind of yours
Do you think you could get away
From it all

Lest we forget
The crimes of the system
We never forget 
We're never in them

Do we care?

Children blown to bits
We're all in fits
What can we do?
So many miles away
Thousands of miles away
What can we do?

Do we care?

There's people 
Who will pay for these crimes
Little children blown to smithereens

It's on the news
Do we care?
I'd like to think we care...enough

To do something about it
Do we laugh at those marchers
Those marching people

Do we care?

Here's some wonderful new music from the UK's fine Andy "Sterling" McLean.  Andy created the entire tune, playing each instrument and then asked me to join him with a solo, which I did with a piano to match the piano comping he had added.  Andy started this over 20 years ago and broke it out in our new year to suggest the new start to something great.  

Follow Andy's very fine woodwind playing here, as well as his many jazzy compositions: https://soundcloud.com/mcleanaf

And to our listeners, have a healthy and happy 2024 and beyond - thanks for all your time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

Andy McLean / Jamie Rhind - New Beginning

A brilliant blues song by Tracy Chapman. This is my instrumental version.

Give Me One Reason (Tracy Chapman Cover)

No speed, no commercial riffs, no shit, symphonic experimentation, influenced by classical, all guitar work except the drum sounds.
Part of a multi part project.
