Looking for someone like you

Most of us don't have a lake but imagine the light outside your window, the rellections bouncing off the wall, the flickering of a candle, the color reflected in a mirror, the light moving in the shadows.  When listening, stare at the light somewhere in your space. Let your mind settle, begin to daydream, draw pictures in your head, and breathe deeply and fully.

This is Not a Lake
A lightkeeper watches, saves,
And nurtures the light.
He gives light to each living thing on earth,
A gift of love and hope, 
Inspiring dreams, imagination and memories.
YOU ARE THE LIGHTKEEPER
Cradle your thoughts with light.
Bring it into your space, wherever you are.
With a window of light…
A flickering candle, 
Dancing shadows on every surface,
Walls, glass, mirrors, water…
Scattering brilliance,
With strokes of fleeting illumination. 
Gaze at the wall of light and dark
As light moves—
Like a memory in the folds of your mind,
Shifting between stillness and longing.
Settle yourself in its glow;
Let it fill the quiet spaces.
Breathe.
Dream.
Draw color.
This is not a lake, but
It is a symphony of shadows and shine.

Light On the Lake

Light on the Lake

For my sixth birthday for weeks and weeks I begged my dad for a dog
But my dad didn’t think I was responsible enough and he was also kind of cheap
But I kept asking him constantly and finally he broke down
He gave me a little cabbage plant growing in a Styrofoam cup

He said if you take good care of this cabbage plant
Next year I’ll consider buying you a dog

I named him Charlie and I planted him in the flowerbed in the front yard
And every morning I’d go outside, and I’d feed him water and fertilizer
I’d update him on what was going on inside the house
And as far as cabbages go Charlie was a patient listener

Every night before I went to bed
I’d stick my head out the window and say goodnight to Charlie.

Our friendship was more than one of those passing fads
And every day Charlie grew until his head was bigger than my dad’s

And I guess my dad must have noticed too because one crisp autumn afternoon
Me and Charlie were sitting in the flowerbed listening to a baseball game
My dad came outside, and he said to me, it’s time for you to become a man

He reached down and he ripped my best friend Charlie out of the ground
For a couple of seconds, I could see his little roots gasping for soil 
Then we took him in the house and we cleaned and we gutted him

 And I swore that would be the last time I’d ever have a personal relationship
 with a vegetable of the cruciferous type
And as we sat around the table, eating our cabbage soup
It occurred to me I was so glad my dad hadn’t bought be a dog

I dedicate this song to Charlie because he made such a big impression on me
Those months we spent together made me so happy.
I go down the produce aisle at the grocery store.  I see those cabbages and it makes sad
I’m glad for the time we spent together.  Sorry it had to end up so bad.

une source chaude, aujourd'hui abandonnée, de mon Auvergne natale

retour aux sources

The train to nowhere has no end
As far as you can see around the bend
There always is another curve
Another chapter to the story
So we can continue to pretend
Not to see how our story ends

We try so hard to never see
The end of tracks go on endlessly
We hear them rumble beneath our feet
We feel the sway in perfect time
An effect for every cause we find
Creates our end in harmony

A life of storms with wind and rain
Teaches us to weather pain
There is no sense to lie and blame
Hardships on bad timing
The train that I am riding
Is my story just the same

The Train To Nowhere

SOLAR PARADISE  < AudiOflame & Special Cecilia > CLIP see link below

I enjoy composing, arranging and recording music on an ever-expanding array of guitars, especially Fender electrics and Martin acoustics.  My musical journey began more than half a century ago, and every day brings new opportunities for continued growth as a musician.  My current leading influences include Jim Campilongo, Scotty Anderson and Guthrie Trapp.  I love Beethoven, Keith Richards, Henry Mancini, Aretha Franklin and a thousand others whose music has brought me joy, whether for many decades or for a few minutes.  I strive to learn something from every piece of music that I hear, and to make music that others will enjoy hearing.

I'm an amateur DIYer in terms of recording, doing everything in my music space at home and learning as I go.  I enjoy experimenting with a variety of microphones and mic placements, recording into a Zoom R16 and using Audacity as my DAW.  I use an array of Fender tube amps, all blackface/silverface reissues, and a modest pedal board.  I record acoustic instruments either with condenser microphones directly on the instruments or else amped through a Fishman Loudbox Mini.
