Most of the time, yes! ha ha Great track.

Love the upbeat feel contrasted with the dark shadowy verbs

you never respond to me when I talk about mysticism. But I've recently stopped asking myself if I'm dreaming. (I used to have the question posted all over my place.) Now I just tell myself I'm dreaming and try to feel the irreality. It's working a lot better.

You're style is so magnificent otherworldly!

Amazing track…especially love the expressive dreamy guitars XOXOXO

Dzc9l0n!z4r-3l-Vlm4 (Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui)

Chcą nam szarym ludziom zaimplementować „nowy lepszy świat " (NWO) w którym wartości takie jak wiara w Boga i ogólnie pojęta wolność przejdzie do historii.
Za pomocą mediów generują strach i infekują umysły miliardów ludzi, by ci stali się posłuszną jednolitą masą.
Taki świat to przedsionek piekła i głęboko wierzę w to, że ludzie się obudzą i nie dadzą sobie odebrać niezbywalnych praw nadanych im przez Boga.
Wolny człowiek to człowiek szczęśliwy, spełniony i pełen wiary w Stwórcę i drugiego człowieka.
Otwórz oczy i stań do walki, bo właśnie toczy się bitwa o przyszłość świata!

Even knights need their rest
So the good King said
Knights need their rest
And it's time for bed 

To the kingdom of your dreams 
Life's not what it seems 

To the kingdom of your dreams 
Knowledge ends
Love remains supreme 

Even knights need their rest
So the good King said
You can only do your best
And it's time 

Knights need their rest
So the good King said
Tomorrow your quest
Now it's time for bed

SONG NOTES and LYRICS:
I wrote this song about an imaginary character born and raised on the Mississippi, growing up to be a music man. It's not based on anybody real, but is a kind of tribute to all (blues) musicians down the ages, who have developed their own style of playing and have become admired by future generations. I was inspired to learn to play the guitar listening to great guitar players and fascinated by their ability to simultaneously play a bass line, percussive rhythm and melody, while singing at the same time. (For guitar players interested in how this song is played, it is capo'd at the first fret and played in Bflat, using the thumb on the left hand to play bass notes while stretching fingers 3 and 4 for hammer-ons.). Hope you like it!

They named him Mississippi
That’s where he was born and found
Raised by the crew of a steamboat
Never did like his feet on solid ground 
Could have grown up to be a gambler
But he’d seen where the money goes
So he just played the blues
And watched the river flow

So Mississippi he became a music man
His hat tilted to one side
He wore a watch chain in his waistcoat 
And a twinkle in his eye 
Those gamblers liked to buy him a whiskey
So he’d smile on the dice they’d throw
As he’d play them the blues
And watch the river flow

Now they say down in Mississippi
When you’re riding on the river at night
That if you raise up your glass of whisky
There’s a chance that you just might
Hear the sound across the water 
From the deck of that old paddle boat 
As he plays the blues 
And watches the river flow

Mississippi

Continuing with the piano thing, forkin' around with an old chestnut...Enjoy!

Messin' on the Sunny Side

A recent collection of work that's been an enlightening yet strange journey over the past couple of months. Are we antennas picking up and channeling something outside of our own lines? Or, are we just restless and mad people banging on things to fill up the spaces, or both?

Are You Dreaming

For Lyn Fuller, Premiered at the Canberra International Music Festival, May 5th 2016. Commissioned by the National Capital Authority.
MOON FIRE is inspired by a famous tale about a Belgian cathedral tower. Legend has it that on January 27th, 1687, in the town of Mechelen, a local looked up at St Rumbold’s tower and perceived it to be on fire. The townsfolk called the alarm and ascended the tower with buckets of water and anything they could muster to extinguish the blaze. Upon reaching the top of the tower it was discovered that there was no fire, but the blood red moon shining through the fog had created a mirage! Hence the Mechlians were jokingly referred to as Maneblussers (“Moon Extinguishers”) and even named a local beer after the legend.
Rather than the joke, my piece is inspired by the imagery of the blood moon, shining through the fog to create a sensation of an eerie sky lit by vaporous flames. Alarm bells are heard, and a panic of the people, but descends into an eerie fog-like mystical trance. The power of the moon could be perceived as dangerous, volatile, rather than benign.
Having lived in Belgium for a year, I wanted to dedicate this work to the Belgians who have had to face terror this year in Brussels airport and train station. May they always gather in strength to fight their fires.
