My newest song creation with piano, vocals, bass, drums, koto, erhu, and dreamy synths mastered by my lovely and talented Sander! @wane-of-summer ❤️😊🎵🎼🎤🎧💕😊

STARLIGHT

A Wisconsin anthem...sort of....
Are you addicted to cheese curds? Crave whitefish livers and a cold Leinie's? Spend hours sitting on a bucket, ice fishing at twenty below zero, but release all the fish cause you'd rather have a burger?
Another single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021. 
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Strat playing the fast-picking melodic riff and my '66 Guild Starfire XII filling things out and playing the lead. They are joined by my Gretsch 5622T and '78 Guild S-60.

“Clockwork Clouds”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Nothing I say gives you a clue.
You just want me singing the blues.
But I don’t know how to choose—
too many things jostling my mind like leaves in the wind.

And this corn looks so fine, but I’m losing my mind,
living out here in the countryside
with these cows and this corn—
never forlorn—some say it’s paradise
and I guess that’s maybe true but….

CHORUS: Take me through the skies
above the world we know,
looking at these clockwork clouds from so far below.
Take me past the stars, somewhere far away.
Looking at these clockwork clouds for so many days.

Tell me again, why am I here?
Looking at clouds in the stratosphere.
I don’t feel so alone cause I’ve got this here phone,
the Packers on the tele, a sixpack on ice.

When I’m walking the fields calculating the yields,
the clouds are floating by like cottony shields.
There’s manure and milk, soybeans and corn silk,
Bears fans down in Janesville but I don’t mix with that ilk, so….

CHORUS

Wisconsin’s my home so I’m never alone.
There’s cows and curds and cheese and birds
and whitetails in the woods.
And there’s wolves and black bears,
our meatpackers shares,
the green of spring and gold of fall really tell it all.

We harvest ginseng roots, trim Christmas tree shoots,
grow fine leaf tobacco for your big cheroots.
Red tail on the wing, it just makes you sing.
Turkey vultures circling like angels in the sky.

And there’s cows and there’s corn, whitefish livers and porn,
Northwoods hair salons where no one lives but the trees.
And there’s trout streams and hills, Lake Superior’s thrills—
ice fishing in winter, sitting on a bucket in the wind.

Gotta give it up again for the superb Harry Jacobson and Daniele Petrocchi.  Their guitar and bass playing steal the show on our fusion original, Street Life.  Harry created and plays his chromatic octave theme on the synth guitar and Daniele plays down below with his beautiful sound and taste.  Brilliant guitar playing from each.  Follow their superb galleries:

Mask up and be well.  We gotta get through this.  Get your shots as soon as you can.

"OUT LOUD"

There is a lot of stuff going on
You don't hear my voice anymore
I feel I have to move on
I will no longer feel like this
Ahh ahh or like that ohh...
Cause there is a lot of stuff going on
Ahh ahh ah

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just wanna scream

And there is a lot of things I dont know
You don't tell me them anymore
I just feel I have to move on.. ohh oh
have to move on
Ah like that
Cause there is a lot things I dont know
like that , like this

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just have to scream out loud

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just wanna scream out loud
Ahhh out loud
Out loud 
ahh out loud
yeah out loud

Out Loud (with Stina Crow)

Conduit

Words & Music: Jan Schonander

This song is written from a man's perspective, but I think it could be equally valid for a woman. I have plenty of friends that have found their companions using dating apps. I also have a number of friends that have many - let's say - interesting experiences. And, maybe it's best to realize what you've got.

In terms of how this was recorded...there are no real guitars. I used Logic Pro X Revolving Lines with a couple of gain settings as well as the Distorted Stratocaster. There are two bass lines using the Prog Rock Bass and as always I am programming the virtual drummer. The various organs and piano are all Korg SV-1 native with some post processing. Basically it's the same stuff I used for "Forgot To Say" and "Feline Fever".

Lastly, I've noticed that some listeners interpret my lyrics as all personal experiences. In this case I would among many things be a three time felon, met my "working" wife on  a crossing and I would actually be African American - I can report that this is far from my ordinary life.

BLIND DATE

Choosing left and right
An ordinary night
On his own
Scotch in his hand
Microwave dinner
Looking for some company
Some sweet lovin
Looking for a friend
Didn’t want another dead end

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a much better mate

She stepped in the bar
Painted to the nines
Three martini lush & more
Preached about men
Layed down the rules
He looked in her eyes 
Made sure that she understood
She was more than he could
He left that chat for good

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

He looked left and right
Nothing recognizable in sight
And then she said “Hello,
I think you’re my beau”
A completely different woman
His face turned wooden
Oh its so tragic
Not his kind of magic

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

Staying at home
Staying at home
All on his own
Right next to his phone
He heard her chime
Turned on a dime
She said “Honey, I miss you”
He said “Not another blind date,
not another blind date”

Blind Date

Future Fluctuations

Debut Album Now Out!! "Twilight on Tunnel Road"
Available now on Bandcamp: https://penelopesthrill.bandcamp.com/
(and streaming everywhere....)
For an immersive experience of the new album, visit the new Penelope's Thrill website at:
https://www.penelopesthrill.com/
Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston. 
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his new songs, often pulling in other musicians from Madison and from around the world for particular tracks. Son Andrew occasionally appears on guitar or adding vocals. Wife Barbara also appears on keyboards and backing vocals.

     ***All tracks are recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees). Recent songs are recorded with Logic Pro using hardware tube preamps, compressors, etc. Earlier tracks were recorded direct to a Zoom R8 recorder.
