This is a great tune, great depth of writing . Johnny

So Nice--love your guitar in the second half:)

In response to "how many flats does Doria have?".

Doria had two flats. However, freaky Phrygia barged in, took her 6 sharps along, sat on Doria's spot and sewed herself a pillow. Everybody got enharmonically confused. Ancient Greek chicks, haaah. Leave them alone for a minute and there is a quarrel.

Usurpation!

Happy Work's Day (Original M!X)

Chaind

This is an original composition in tribute to heroically good classic rock pianist Nicky Hopkins (a.k.a. “Edward” as he was sometimes called in the studio by members of the Rolling Stones).  He would have turned 80 years old today (02/24/2024).

This was not an attempt at impersonation, but rather an effort toward one specific aspect of his versatile playing style, namely, that elusive balance of flow and syncopation.  Simply put, listening to Nicky Hopkins makes my brain dance, and trying to capture that effect is what inspired this piece.  

Note: Many are unfamiliar with the name Nicky Hopkins, but everyone is familiar with his piano playing which has appeared on records of the Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, the Who, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, the Kinks, Steve Miller Band, Art Garfunkel, Jerry Garcia, the Beatles (as well as solo work of all four individual Beatles), and many others.  He played on over forty top 40 albums, and dozens of singles.  He was practically a member of the Rolling Stones (and came up with many of the Stones’ most iconic piano parts including for the songs Angie, She’s a Rainbow, Loving Cup, Sympathy for the Devil), but his battle with Crohn’s disease prevented him from being able to commit to regular touring.  As a result, he spent most of his career working as a session musician. He was, however, an official member (from 1969-1971) of Quicksilver Messenger Service where his piano work generally sits up front in the mix and where you can hear his creativity fully unleashed (e.g., check out their songs Shady Grove, Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder, and Fresh Air).  In spite of his limited number of live performances, he was also a talented improviser as showcased in the Rolling Stones studio jam album “Jamming with Edward”, and another great example of this is the high-quality recording of his live performance with the Jerry Garcia Band on “Let it Rock: The Jerry Garcia Collection Volume 2" https://soundcloud.com/jerrygarcia/sets/let-it-rock-the-jerry-garcia.

Je sors..
Texte : Sanzen 
Chant : Julia 
Musique : Alain Illos

La nuit comme un écrin,
lendemains juvéniles.
Des lumières se devinent,
j'irai ce soir en ville.
Je sors ce soir,
retrouver ma jeunesse,
les regards qui scintillent,
ma nuit adolescente.
Je sors ce soir, en ville,
pour une célébration,
je sors me réjouir,
le brio dans leurs yeux.
Gardez moi du déclin,
lendemains juvéniles.
Je sors me réjouir,
les lumières de la ville.
Ce soir, adolescent,
ce soir, reconnaissant.
Pour ce qui est à venir,
mon coeur juvénile.
La nuit est un écrin,
les lumières,
les lendemains...

I leave

The night as a jewel box,
youthful tomorrows.
Lights can be seen,
I'm going into town tonight.
I'm going out tonight,
back to my youth,
glittering eyes,
my teenage night.
I'm going out tonight
for a celebration,
I'm going out to rejoice,
the brio in their eyes.
Save me from decline,
youthful tomorrows.
I go out to rejoice,
the lights of the city.
Tonight, adolescent,
tonight, grateful.
For what's to come,
my youthful heart.
The night is a jewel box,
lights,
the tomorrows...
