Ride that camel

Keeping to the traditional theme, this is an instrumental arrangement for solo guitar of an old classic folk tune given a slight twist by the use of a Csus2 chord as the base rather than the usual C minor.  Also available on YouTube.  https://youtu.be/WWTxxEW15uM?si=StyNAOjCk13d1uB8

pulling weeds

I'm debating on cutting the grass
but the grass is winning
I've determined to let things pass
with an ease that's concerning

See I'm trying to make my dance
the path of least resistance
Til I've nothing left to hide behind
and time is still on my side

I've discovered the less I want
the more I humble need
Yeah I'm debating on cutting the grass
but the grass is winning

Yeah I'm thinking of pulling weeds
but the weeds are winning
accidents of geography
whose living is their only sin

Am I the one who does erase
flowers here nature has misplaced
What must my God think of me
when He thinks of me ?

Yeah I'm thinking of pulling weeds
but the weeds are winning....

Troisième souffle

This is the last upload on my cloud for the year, although I have a few collabs yet to finish. I will then take some time out, as quite a lot of things on my plate, among them moving house.
As always take good care out there, and let your love flow <3<3<3

Strange Boat ( Waterboys Cover)

An old tune of mine I often come back to. It always comes out a little different each time. Played this time on a Burns SJ12 12 string guitar.

Strathrea (Autumn 2020)

This track is inspired by an old piece from 1982, which we played in my third Band. At that time we were enthusiastic and wanted to make music as a living. But we all ended up somewhere else, only our singer made it, as he joined Pink Cream 69 and later Helloween, where they are playing the big festivals till today :-)
I myself had stopped playing at all, focused on my profession and touched only the acoustic guitar from time to time. My Marshall JCM 800 and my Fender were becoming more and more living room Accessoires and were nicely looking hanging untouched at the wall. In 2015 my son woke up music in me again, when he came to me playing a song he had created with GarageBand on an iPad. Then the guitar flame started to burn again and finally the result you can listen here. I hope you enjoy it.

After two years working with my software I was able to make a composition like this one that I present today in 2012. It was never released on Soundcloud, so several original MS2 instruments have been replaced using some of the technology that I use today.

Many comments that people who listen to my music leave me say that I have a great influence from Vangelis ... and it is true. In fact, this theme is inspired after seeing again, I don't know how many times, Blade Runner and it is possibly where that influence is more clearly noticed.

I dedicate the topic to May Masuya, who was kind enough to say goodbye to me when I left this platform (SC) almost two months ago, for the delicacy of her music and for the collection of positive comments that I will always keep.

The time travel is over. Soon new Tracks.

Happy New Year to everyone.
