Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

Hans-Michael Albers:  All instruments, arrangement & production

Whenever we send Hans the demo of a new song, one of the most enticing parts of the process is that we never know what is going to come winging it’s way back from Hamburg.  We never try and steer him in any particular direction because we have total faith that whatever he sends will  be much, much better than anything we’d had in mind.

Quite often, once a week or two has passed and he’s had the chance to expand on his thinking, he’ll send another version, totally different from the first but always something equally as brilliant, causing both Tel and myself to ponder which one to post.   A quandary of the very best kind.  

Chris O is a multi-faceted musician who seems at home within any genre but there’s no doubt she is best known for her mastery of The Blues, hence the demo leaning very firmly in that direction…or so we thought  However, on hearing it for the first time, Hans heard something very different.  His thoughts focused on a simple piano / voice ballad, something we were certainly not expecting but which totally blew us away.

By the end of that weekend though, along too came the blues version, a delicious groove to which I couldn’t wait to add some drums and as those who’ve already heard it will know, that’s the one we eventually posted.  Nevertheless, the indelible mark imprinted on my sensibilities by the unplugged mix simply refused to go away.  Even though it’s precisely the same vocal, the pared-back accompaniment pushes it’s heart and it’s power to the fore and I felt that it deserved to be heard.  So that’s the reason we’re posting ‘The Love of Mrs. O’, phase two…

In closing, despite our retirement from active involvement here on SC, Cripple Club wanted to send each and every one of you our sincere thanks for continuing to support our work.  Your generosity of spirit and kind words always mean so much to the three of us.  (Gary Reeves)

I met a brave woman by the name of Mrs O
Playing ‘The Blues’ flying high sometimes flying low
Guitars and Banjos pitching..always acoustic 
Singing and sharing a love affair with music

The Love Of Mrs O

No distance too far, mile by mile growing warm
Confidence of written word believing in art-form
Marriage strings and voice harmonising sounds
The love of freedom scales tightly in bounds

The Love Of Mrs O

Concerts of brave, pulse to a time
Ensemble in waves, helping the climb
Brothers of blues, traveller of love
Live music choose, to fit like a glove

The Love Of Mrs O

Mrs O keeps soaring magnum opus in her hands
Song of friendship for a man from many bands
Expanse of cumulus clouds, filming for all to see
Never hiding from the challenge in the Nebulosity

The Love Of Mrs O

Up and down across the world finding a closeness
No discrimination of any kind, love is always best
From ‘The Beatles’ land to a Sydney education 
Fondness for Mrs O, giving a continuous ovation

The Love Of Mrs O

THE LOVE OF MRS. O (UNPLUGGED) - CRIPPLE CLUB

Hi Friends,

Just let the instruments speak and the listener will imagine and maybe interpret a declaration of love, for diversity, peace and inclusion. Because whether you like it or not, we all have to walk together on this same rock, floating in space.

Of course, you can find ‹ Welcome In The Friendzone › on all major streaming platforms 😉

There have been major music events in the past like The Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show (1964) or Queen's Live Aid Performance (1985). There have been some epic music video releases like David Bowie - "Ashes to Ashes" (1980) or Michael Jackson - "Thriller" (1983). Until Now! Ready your engines friends; there is going to be some earth shaking, powerful magic on the way. Clear the deck and get ready to experience pure happiness. Don't be left behind! Yes!!

Cheers,
Dave

Dionysian Wink

v1
I stuck around with less than twenty pesos
wish I had a little more.
Threw my hand down bought another round of chasers
bouncer walked me out the door.

{break}

I remember
Kevin Bacon wearing that blazer on a
small stage with a guitar.
Singing Footloose with a dude dressed like Elvis.
He dropped the mic and danced some more.

Hey,   there's gonna be hell to….
Ch

pay
tonight
Bright lights
Spinning loudly

These endless nights
A coronation
The King and Queen
A revelation

These endless nights
Oh such elation
the King and Queen
Las Vegas take me

Dionysian wink as he shares the drink
His desecration taps the night
With listening bars and performing bards
Play that gamble and throw the dice

I know I am forgetting folks equally inspiring, and I apologize! So many of you are so good. If I had the facility on the instrument that you acoustic magicians do, this performance would not have the slight stiffness that it does at times.

Once again Christmas has arrived. It is time to express our best wishes for happiness and fulfillment to everyone and to imbue ourselves with a sweet and happy atmosphere. It's not easy to do so when we think about the number of people who are currently suffering from wars, persecution, repression and famine. We need a better world, let's try ....let's do it ...... Merry Christmas !!!

Keith had a gentle guitar phrase and  a few words that he was playing with and shuffled it over to me for a listen to see what I made of it. The result is the song below. The conflict is in the spirituality represented by the sparks on a fire ascending, and the observation that the embers twinkle, fade and fall, silent. What is it all about if the prayers, meditations and positive thoughts just fall back to earth like the sparks? The beliefs we embrace must hit the road of reality. If they measure up to good - wonderful! But if not? The supreme irony for me is watching kids being taught to hate in a religious school class.  I was going to use the coordinating conjunction BUT to set up the point of contrast (But you can't..."). Instead, Keith preferred the AND ("And you can't...") as, in addition to all that one CAN believe, you must be aware that other things follow too. Can And Cannot. So simple. Or is it?
Free D/L - Track 9 of the new album Hold On To Someone : https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

Lyrics:
We seem to want to find
A spiritual connection to space and time
An affinity for infinity and the great beyond
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence, fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

It's the lack of definition of in the twilight hours
That makes it so difficult to find our way
Past all the claims and assertions of things that cannot be proven
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

Hold On (To Someone)

And You Can't

Track Notes
~~~~~~~~~~

"Metropolis" draws much of its aesthetic inspiration from Fritz Lang's famous 1927 German science fiction film of the same name as well as various sources from comic book canon (especially Superman and Batman). A lively and rather bombastic piece, this track is meant to conjure up images of a sprawling, hectic, dystopian metropolis. Put on a good pair of headphones and enjoy!

Thank you for listening (and reading)!

Metropolis

Following a recent study of musical chords,I focused on the Phrygian cord structure and its suitability for Eastern music styles.
Hence my first attempt at this unique musical style .
This is very different to my usual selections and compositions.

Eastern Flavour's

"L'inventeur" est une série vidéo où je passe énormément de temps à contempler des arbres... 
"The inventor" is a video series wherein I spend a lot of time contemplating trees...
