A bit of fun for the Basschat January Composition Challenge

Happy Families

Here is my contribution to the February 2024 Basschat Composition Challenge, illustrated with a picture chosen by Leonard Smalls.
"I can hear the blood beating though my ear-lobes..! A faint whistling, and birds chirping..! I thought the room was silent, but the whole house emits creaks and groans, and there's a car going by..! Wow..! Silence never sounded so loud..! Far out, man; far out..!"
Recorded using Reaper, with no mixing or treatment, so that the full benefit of the auditor's listening experience is as pure as possible. Good on headphones; better yet on a fully-spec'ed hi-fi system, so as to appreciate the Sound of Silence. Chemical enhancement is not required, nor advised; your move may vary.
Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

Wow..! Far Out, man..!

no, no I won't describe this track, it doesn't deserve it, you listen to it, and you describe it instead, saves me the bother of wasting my precious time typing out pretentious drivel. 
Carry on.

Get back

May 24 basschat comp entry..
 Following the old 'Catchphrase' mantra, I've sung what I've seen !!   T-bird bass, squire guitar keyboards and vocals all my undoing with MT drums trying  to keep me in time !

Another pc breakdown has caused a loss of plugins and vst's (and loss of sanity on my part), so created in Reaper using all the stock plug-ins.

Anyway, it was still good fun......

In The Hole

Entry into this months' basschat competition,using picture as inspiration. All guitars and bass played by myself.Ez does drums and some strings on keys.
H.Jewell appears by kind permission of herself and I was permitted to  do other vocal bits !!
Mixed in Reaper (with a very deaf left ear!!)........

Janet and John were dancers, they always got it right,
But personal afflictions meant they never spent the night
She thought –
John I think you’re so handsome, you’re athletic, your body is lithe,
I want to take off your tuxedo, but there is something wrong with your eyes
Sometimes they seem to wander, independently
I wonder who you look for, are you looking at me?!

Janet and John were dancers, they never got it. Right? 
With wandering eyes and fishy breath, they never spent the night.
Just winning all their trophies as they danced across the floor,
What a shame it really is, it came to nothing more

Janet you are so sexy, when I am near things start to swell,
But when I get close, I notice, your breath it really does smell.
I used to work in the dockyard, handle fish and drink my beer,
Now it’s a smell that I remember, every time you are near

Janet and John were dancers, they never got it. Right? 
With wandering eyes and fishy breath, they never spent the night.
Just winning all their trophies as they danced across the floor,
What a shame it really is, it came to nothing more

Janet and John were dancers
