Awesome work Tim..  enjoying and I hope all is well with you my friend!

one of the latest discoveries of my daily research. a really nice starting point to investigate further...

Prima Vista*provisory

A short instrumental interlude specifically composed to lead into "Lonnie's Red Guitar" on the "Twilight on Tunnel Road" album. It introduces Lonnie's more introspective side. From the album notes: "Not particularly talkative, Lonnie can speak volumes through his guitar. Walking along Tunnel Road at dusk, he hears intimations in the sky that he'll later coax from his guitar...."

Played on a Gretsch 2622TG with P90 pickups.
For more about the album, including dozens of stunning photos of the region, check out the new Penelope's Thrill website, just launched in concert with the album:

LYRICS:

At any moment on any day
A little friction can wipe us all away
In times of trouble, in times of strife
Spare no expense 'cause the price is human life
They come to conquer like they were God's own hand
And set the world ablaze to seize a little land

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

At any moment on any day
The clock strikes midnight and all goes down in flames
To meet ambition with vile atrocity
And piss on notions of all diplomacy
And all hell rains down, the wolf is at your door
Hope no one sees what you're compensating for

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

You want it, you got it
You have upset the balance
You want it, you got it
The world is in a bind
It's all just self defense
We've heard that lie before
A brain dead juggernaut
You're not the only one
You want it, you got it
You got the whole world watching
You want it, you got it
Looks like you've gone insane
Affront to everyone
To your own people too
One minute to midnight
It's all because of you

Minute To Midnight

A long finished track, that waited for an upload far too long...

Serenitas

The car horn must be connected to a small electric shock to the user.

SONIC STRESS, WORLD OF CRAZY. (virtual COVER)

Well, why not? : )

AMERICA - Claude McKay 1921
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

Reification

AI I Cant Find You

Crystals and shadows

Last one due to the upload limit

Partly inspired by Gnosticism

If the root of wickedness lies hidden out of sight
It waxes strongly, yet perishes in the light
Ignorance is the mother of all evil and death
For every soul, there isn’t much time left

Living spirit, no more separation
I’m asking for regeneration

I am stripped bare and ready to be reborn
First I must die, burn up the cloaks I’ve worn
If you are not empty you can’t be filled with light 
I must surrender, say farewell to this long night

I’ve been a fool, this is no game 
All words have power, be careful what you say

Living spirit, no more separation
I’m asking for regeneration

Regeneration

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.
