Homage to Mick Mars.  An interpretation of his instrumental from Motley's Crue's album 'Shout at the Devil' and released in 1983.

Not a cover more of an homage that's all.

Don't Go Falling (Summer I've never been)

Alan Henning (15 August 1967 – c. 3 October 2014) was a British taxicab driver-turned-volunteer humanitarian aid worker.  He was the fourth Western hostage killed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) whose killing was publicised in a beheading video.

Henning was captured during ISIL's occupation of the Syrian city of Al-Dana in December 2013. He was there helping provide humanitarian relief.  The British Foreign Office withheld news of Henning's capture while it attempted to negotiate his release.

Henning was driving an ambulance for Rochdale Aid 4 Syria, which raised money on behalf of Al-Fatiha Global, a British-based organisation which provides humanitarian aid to those caught up in warzones. Al-Fatiha Global is a registered charity which was under investigation by the Charity Commission after one of its workers was photographed with his arms around two hooded fighters carrying machine guns. Al-Fatiha Global said that worker had been dismissed. There is no suggestion that Henning knew about this controversy. Local colleagues warned Henning not to cross the border into Syria, but he said he wanted to make sure the supplies were delivered safely.

Henning was shown at the end of David Cawthorne Haines's execution video, released on 13 September 2014, and was referred to as being the next victim by Mohammed Emwazi, the media described as "Jihadi John" of the ISIL cell described as The Beatles. A video of Henning's beheading was released on 3 October 2014. After his execution, British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered MI5, MI6, and GCHQ to track and kill or capture the killer.


Henning -  British Hero

A tribute to the Angriest Guitar Player in the World!!!

Instrumental and shortened version of a Casimir Effect tune and one of the first ideas that Dan Choi brought to the band.  Added strings and given it a an acoustic feel.  We played the song electric live with a very different vibe.  Recording isn't perfect but what the hell.

For you, Dan.  Hope the South Korean army will grant you some Internet access so you can hear it.

Phil.

How did I get in here? - Casimir Effect

Short instrumental version with electric guitar.   A tune very much concerned with civil liberties and racial discrimination like a lot of bands back in the late 50's.  Luke Kelly was very much a man who stood up for discrimination of any kind.   A fusion of folk, bluegrass and blues.  

Original lyrics:

Luke Kelly (The Dubliners) - Alabama '58
In Alabama 1958
The cost of human life is very low
A man that's black is trampled down
Just like they were a thousand years ago

But these are more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man may walk his road in peace
For all are free!

Two thousand years ago a million men
Were gathered into royal Egypt's land
Were bound together, forced to build
Pyramids of stone in desert sand

But these are more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man may walk his road in peace
For all are free!

Mary's son walked through a land of woe
Dreaming of the world as it could be
But the good and lawful men of Rome
Bound him like a robber to a tree

But these are more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man may walk his road in peace
For all are free!

In Britain just a hundred years ago
The jails were full of good and hungry men
Diggers, fenians, many more
Fought and died but rose to fight again

But these are more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man may walk his road in peace
For all are free!

Last year a negro stole a dollar bill
The judge he said "We mustn't be severe
Instead of death we'll give him life imprisonment
To show there's justice here"

For these are more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man may walk his road in peace
For all are free!

And so throughout the ages you have seen
How progress marches ever on its way
No rack, no wheel, no Spanish boot
For Alabama's prisoners today

For these are more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man may walk his road in peace
For all are free!

In these more enlightened days
No room for all these savage ways
Leave and let them go
Now every man should walk his road in peace
Let man be free!
