Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

AB Playlist 045 Part 1

Composed circa 1978
I'm getting old and I'm quickly turning gray
Been married 15 years today.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

I'll mow the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
All I know is what I see 
I'm crying inside and I feel like screaming

Electric storm is in my head tonight
E. F. Hutton can you tell me who is right
Dow Jones is tumbling
Prudential's falling off the rock

Guitar solo by Matt Warnick

I'll cut the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

Always take an umbrella......

Electric Storm

What does a parent, or grandparents say or sing to their children, or grandchildren if any kind of armageddon is here? And how many times have these sentiments been sung, historically and in the present.

Is it comfort..... loss and sadness........ anger....... or does it just describe an endless emptiness, over humanity's inability......

This song flowed out of me at the end of corona pandemic, and then went into hibernation, for some reason. And I apologize, I didn't even write down the lyric, it just came in a moment of inspiration, or was it despair?...... But I think you understand the spirit of the song anyway.

And maybe it is now relevant again with new possible diseases spreading. Bird flu, foot and mouth disease in cattle, measles, ebola, and all the microplastics and other toxic components they now acknowledge are in our food and our bodies, and even in the unborn.....and so many more in different parts of the world.........Hmmmmm........

Contours and detours
Written and recorded by TJG May 2024

Life rarely moves in straight lines—and neither does the music. Three Photons returns with "Contours and Detours", a winding, analog-rich meditation on movement, misdirection, and the beauty of the unexpected.

Contours and Detours is my take on Gershwin's Rhythm changes with my own harmonic substitutions throughout. Written in B-flat Major with a Key change in the bridge. 

Technical Details
Rhythm Guitar: Gibson ES 335
Lead Guitar: Gibson ES 335
Guitar Amplifier: Fender George Benson Hot Rod Deluxe
Fender pedal board: Line 6 delay; Fender clean boost
Mics: a pair of Royer r10 ribbons on guitars
Mic preamps: API 312
Mixer: API 24 channel summing mixer (8200/7800)
Stereo Bus processing (API EQ and API compressor)
Final mix down to a MARA MCI JH110 1/4inch 2-track at 15 ips using ATR Master Tape.

Contours and detours

Another unpretentious pop song. I kind of like the chorus and the instrumental bridge. It should be shorter, but it came out that way, with an extra minute.

since she's gone

Bad things don't break close to home, close the blinds
Turn the T.V. on, sleep on the couch
Freaks still rumble, stuff going down 'neath my nose

There was a shooting at the park
After dark anything can happen
Police can't be everywhere at once

Still pretty sure nothing gonna break, avoid the news
At every cost, anything I don't know aint gonna hurt me
Anything I don't know I don't need to know

Lawless society is a no-mans-land
Destroy everything
Sit and watch as all this play on the screen

A Shooting At The Park

simple song about a simple time way back when
#lofi   #first love  #losing yer VitaminC

Tangerine
                                                                                     
Well I was thinking of how we used to play                                        
Oh so many years ago
Made up some silly names
No one knew what we meant
Where did that time with you go

I recall you had a passion for those fruits
Called me your Red Raspberry Toy
You were my mashed Banana Girl
Well that really cracked you up
And I was your Cherry Baby Boy

Then our time was over when you said                                                                        
Your Daddy’s gonna move the family west
On that final day, you pleaded, “Hold me Sugar Plum,
and whisper the name I like the best”

Tangerine, Let me be  the Apple of your eye
My Tangerine, I’m sticky and sweet, your guy
Oh Tangerine, my first love
Now say goodbye

You sent me letters saying you’d always wait for me
Using veggie names to cheer me up
I became your Broccoli 
and I christened you Sweet Pea
It was all I had but it was enough

Saying when can I see you my Cauliflower Queen
I would call you up but we couldn't talk for long
Paying by the minute, those long distance charges added up 
There was only time for me to sing your favorite song

Tangerine, I wanna  be the Apple of your eye
My Tangerine I’ll always be sticky and sweet, your guy
Tangerine, you were my first love 
Now say goodbye
Goodbye





Tangerine

I wrote this a couple of days ago and worked on the lyrics a bit then recorded just now on my phone. The starting point was thinking of a Syd Barrett lyric which mirrored Elvis "I don't care if the sun don't shine".

Photo - Usher Gallery, Lincoln, April 2025


Yes I mind when the sun won't shine
And I must live in shadow
When the dry spell comes must carry on 
Until there's no tomorrow
Getting up I know I'll fall again
And when I'm not wanted at all 
By the grace of God I don't despair
But for goodness sake of course I care

You bet it's true and I get the blues
Whilst you suffer for nothing 
As I play kick back watch melting wax 
Then I'm late again rushing 
Falling down I know I'll rise again 
And while I'm hated I stand tall 
Had to accept life isn't fair 
But for goodness sake of course I care
For goodness sake of course I care

QUELLE VIE JE VIS

J’ai bien souffert, je peux le dire
Une misère, voire même pire.
De la méfiance en l’être humain
Ce manque de chance quand çà vous tient.

Les tromperies, fruits du hasard,
Ont faient ma vie rester en noir.
Des coups bien durs, d’autres assez bas,
Font les blessures qui n’guérissent pas,

J’dis plus mon âge, il est certain,
Nombreuses pages, un long chemin.
Il reste encore pour qui le veux
D’ici ma mort, des jours heureux.

Je ligne mes yeux au crayon noir,
Je fais d’mon mieux pour me faire voir
Si j’en ajoute, trop quelquefois
C’est que mes doutes sont toujours


Quelle vie je vis

Je vais m’écrire dans cette histoire,
Et même vous dire que quelque part,
Ce monde malsain où vivent les grands
Refuse ma main quand je leur tends,

Cherche couleurs, plutôt pastels,
Du chaud au cœur, y’a rien de tel,
Sur une palette à mélanger,
Je voudrais être du verbe « aimer ».

Quelle vie je vis

Toutes ces traces qui m’ont marquées,
Ont prises trop d’place dans mes pensées
Quand je regarde autour de moi,
Je sèche mes larmes pour pas qu’çà s’voit.

Tous mes espoirs sont restés vains
Rien que d’y croire me fait du bien.
Je cherche encore, je cherche toujours
Rien n’est plus fort que de l’amour.
Qu’ai-je bien pu faire pour être ainsi,
Sinon me taire et puis tant pis,

WHAT LIFE I LIVE

I have suffered well, I can say
A misery, even worse.
Mistrust in the human being
This lack of luck when it holds you.

Deception, the fruits of chance,
Have my life stay in black.
Very hard shots, others quite low,
Do wounds that do not weal,

I'm older, I'm sure,
Many pages, a long way.
It remains for who wants it
By my death, happy days.

I line my eyes in black pencil,
I do my best to make myself see
If I add, too much sometimes
That's because my doubts are always


What life I live

I will write myself in this story,
And even tell you that somewhere,
This unhealthy world where big people live
Refuse my hand when I give them,

Seeking colors, rather pastels,
From warm to heart, there's nothing like it,
On a palette to mix,
I would like to be of the verb "to love".

What life I live

All these traces that marked me,
Have taken up too much space in my thoughts
When I look around,
I dry my tears for not seeing it.

All my hopes were in vain
Just to believe it makes me feel good.
I'm still looking, I'm still looking
Nothing is stronger than love.
What could I have done to be so,
Otherwise shut up and then too bad,

QUELLE VIE, JE VIS (Vivre seul)

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND

Bio
In 2007 at age 63 Montrealer Peter Wheeler bought his first guitar. He then went to amazon.com and purchased a book called “How To Play The Guitar for Dummies”. Since then he hasn’t looked back. 

Sometimes serious - sometimes humorous Wheeler’s music seeks to re-capture the Classic Vibes  from the 70’s & 80’s. To best describe his music imagine Bob Dylan & The Doors meet The Clash & Leonard Cohen at the Hotel California & share a bottle of wine with Tarantino. Peter Wheeler is a poet - focusing all his energies into creating musical canvases to express his personal vision of the world surrounding him. 

For several years Peter was part of the local bar scene in the Greater Montreal area.  He performed as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Rock Roulette Band. His experiences giving live performances and continually improving his guitar playing has truly shown that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

In 2020 Peter teamed up with Johnny Vienneau, a multi- talented musician and Producer from Montreal and recorded his first album of cover songs called "Self Portrait".  https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/sets/self-portrait-1

Prior to embarking on his musical odyssey Peter's main passion was painting having had several major exhibitions and loyal patrons. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=a.46081025804&type=3    

Today Peter continues to pursue his passion for The Arts by doing portraits of friends, family and people he greatly admires. In 2021 he became a re-born again environmentalist and his songwriting is now focused on increasing awareness of the climatic challenge facing the planet.
