C'est vraiment bon. J'adore ces guitares.

Wonderful guitar, the sound and the performance are top drawer. :)

luv the “attitude” exuded in this tune, to my ear...

This one is about Summer and feel good music. Getting past the last year and a half feels real good. Man what a ride we have had. Now Peeps get after that Summer vibe.

Zut: apart from the French mild expletive (Heck!)...I recently discovered the fictional game 'Zut' as described in an Amor Towles novel 'A Gentleman in Moscow'. This has two characters competing by describing variations of an agreed theme until one runs out of ideas. 
I had a similar feeling when producing this track (as I often do) - I loved the main riff but wanted to make variations in harmony and accompaniment. Eventually I had to give up (zut!).. but happily settled on those presented.

ZUT (Funk Variations)

This compo is in Db, 4/4.  Somehow the creative process resulted in a bit of a Merengue vibe.  Merengue is a dance music (not food) that originated in Dominican Republic.  Harmonies are voiced primarily in Diatonic 4ths with 3rds and a few 10ths.  Piano line spins melodies from the Sax Harmonies.  Instruments are Saxes, Trombones, Trumpets, Tuba, Piano, Synth.  Bass line, added to later sections, is more of a Samba rhythm since that keeps the momentum.  As always please feel free to send me your thoughts!

Last of the Summer Flies

At last you have left - my insecticide is spent 
Though your screw driver voice is reverberating   
Your tongue it got bent - drilling holes in my head  
Now I’m smoothing hurts by restorative ironing 
And though they must have a role in ecosystems          
I’m so glad to see the last of the summer flies           
I’m so glad to see the last of the summer flies          

I guess you’ll find a niche – with some human who can reach
To find that tiny star behind the grating
Your sun first shone so bright – enough to launch a kite
But that superficial wind was soon deflating
And though . . . .

It’s in the news each day
Insects will fade away
Unless we realise
Every living thing has a vital place

I wish you the very best – maybe both of us are blessed
We were counting down our days so surely numbered
Hey you’re not to blame – I’m dreamy and often vague 
And for the earth I’ll pray for flies now just departed

A tribute to Mr. Windel Page

WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY
VISITING MY AUNT'S HOUSE
WOULD FILL MY HEART WITH JOY
I LOVED THAT OLD FARMHOUSE

MR. PAGE AND HIS WIFE
LIVED NEXT DOOR
THEY HAD A GREAT LIFE
WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE

THEY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL
THAT I'D NEVER SEEN
HE TREATED HER LIKE AN ANGLE
IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

(CHORUS)
YOU COULD SEE THE FAITH IN HIS EYES
AND FEEL THE LOVE IN HIS HEART
HE WAS BAPTIZED IN GOD'S LOVE
YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE START

HE WOULD SING AMAZING GRACE
WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE
BEING A WORLD WAR II VET
DID HE HONOR THE FLAG? YOU BET

GOSPEL MUSIC WAS IN HIS SOUL
HE LOVED THE LORD AND FAMILY 
WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS FAITH
HE WAS VERY BOLD

HE LOVED HIS CHURCH FAMILY
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE
WILL FOREVER BE MISSED
REST IN PEACE...MR. PAGE

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

La basse avec mon pied gauche, la guitare avec mon pied droit, une bonne boite bien droite pour mettre un peu de rigueur dans tout ça. Et si des fois vous entendez des voix, c'est normal, c'est que ces fois je chante.
I play the bass with my left foot, guitar with my right one, a good DM to put some rigor in all this. And if sometimes you hear voices, it may be normal, as at these times I may also sing.
