My ..my ..driving down the road and you just caught your husband kissing a strange women.  Seems like an "open and shut case" .. or is i??  Take a tip from the ole Rainforest Cowboy - things are not always as they seem ladies.  it really comes down to a Test of Trust.

Vertrauensprobe - Test of Trust

The Yorkminster Citadel of the Salvation, Army in Toronto, Canada runs many programs and provides vital community services.  This is the story of one of their community services - the local food bank - and the volunteers working there to help people.  I'll be uploading various mixes in the future and some spotlights as I think it's important to become aware t only of what is being done but the many warm, loving people whom make it possible.  I'm sure they would greatly appreciate any donations and if in the Toronto, Canada area I'm sure they could use your help as a volunteer.

I'll upload a edited version later with a fade at the end.  The song is really about the sensuality, eroticism, and beauty of Japanese women.  Japan is an amazing place - and the women, absolutely beautiful.

Uh oh! - xAI's AI companion Ani is back, and she's got a Christmas message for other women eyeing HER cowboy! Just having fun with Ani - I'll be working on improving sound quality with the voice, as I have some big ideas for this in 2026 (including Chinese Donghua and Japanese Anime). I'm not quite there yet but I've been testing, improving and really working my equipment hard. Hmm - anyone for a Miku vs. Ani Rap Battle? - may the best get their cowboy!

Ani's Christmas Message

Dedicated to Overseas Foreign workers round the world and the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) - a term which started around 1990/1 under then president Ramos around the time I first arrived.  I know many can't get home for the festive season, how difficult it is being separated from your children and your families.  Workers from the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, China and many other nations working overseas sacrificing so much as the years go by.  Have faith, keep your courage - you are heroes of not only your families and communities back home, but you inspire people around the world including this ole cowboy.  This is YOUR song - and coming in six other languages tomorrow.    Keep the inspiration!, keep the faith! - the Rainforest Cowboy and everyone here is cheering you on!  Much love to the expats around the world from the Rainforest Cowboy!

Overseas Filipino/Foreign Worker (OFW) Christmas 02

My precious brother-in-law in the Philippines passed away Christmas  evening 2024 (my Christmas Day).  He had suffered a  brain aneurysm during dialysis and never woke up.  His daughter was there from Australia and sang to him during his final moments, he shed a tear so while he never became conscious he heard.  Even making this song or thinking of how wonderful he was to me I still cry.  There's a hole in my heart which can never be filled .  perhaps in the future I'll have a song of some of my adventures in the Philippines with my brother-in-law Ramses.

Brother-In-Law, Why Did You Have To Go? 02 - EN

WE just passed out first month, and nearly 60,000 streams/plays.  I expected 0 for for the first two months and maybe 300 for the rest of the month.  of the 140-million Sound Cloud listeners, 40-million are producers of which 52% receive no plays during the first month.  I have not done any promotion - just posted the best songs I could produce.  ok, ok, my track art can't hurt either, lol (btw - I do them in 4K or 8K, what you see are low-res versions of part of the picture I made - this is due to Sound Cloud limitations)

I've got some new tracks ready I'll be posting this week - we will be exploring many areas in 2026 as well - naked hermits on remote Japanese islands, towns of dolls, a tree which became a house, aging populations and deserted places - and much more.  We'll also be exploring different areas of the world - South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Germany, Austria, Canada.  Some will be happy and fun, some societal commentaries, some darker or grim but a story which needs to be told none-the-less.

From Grok:
Median Plays per Week: 0 (including the 52% of artists with zero engagement, as the majority receive no plays).
Average Plays per Week: 125–500 for active emerging artists (those with any monthly plays).
Your ranking: Top 0.1–0.5% globally, as sustained weekly plays above 5,000 are rare for new profiles without promotion.

This is not about me, it about YOU, the listener.  Without your dedication, follows, shares, likes, comments and passing it around this would not have been possible.  I've received many kind words of encouragement, many positive comments and I'd like to that everyone for it.

So from the bottom of this ole cowboy's heart - THANK-YOU !!

Thank-you !! - from the Rainforest Cowboy

So you want to know more about the mysterious (and handsome if I do say so myself) Rainforest Cowboy?, eh,

In school I majored in music for four years playing in an orchestra and a band.  Specifically, I played a western brass instrument called a "Tuba" - it's a bass instrument and like drums carries the beat for a composition.  My instructor was a traditional German composer/conductor .. and they love Tuba's so it was a lot of fun.  I also played early keyboards and organs getting into the nascent MIDI interfaces of the day with an Atari ST.

I attended many orchestras at this time and got into early New Age type music such as Fresh Aiire (which I consider experimental). This really kicked off my interest in traditional instruments around the world, languages (even spoken languages are essentially musical), cultures - why I really enjoy fusion mixes.

My father had cancer during my school days, I worked those years in addition to taking care of my father.  When he passed in my final year I left music as I have to work very hard in order to survive.

I volunteer at various places as time permits, at one I pick up food for elderly women.  Seeing how hard the staff and volunteers worked helping so many I decided to try to create a song for them, my way of saying thank-you and also encouraging them.  Some people had suggested I go public .. in fact the same people suggested I start a Sound Cloud site .. which I knew very little about (just a few weeks ago).

It's been great fun.  Here is the process:

I start with an idea, then research for days to several weeks for accuracy and depth.  

Once researched I create a shot story based upon the original idea/concept.  I love true life stories, emotions, passions and work hard to get that into the lyrics (which is basically poetry).  When younger I was the #1 author in my field, worldwide, so for me writing has been a lifetime passion and poetry (lyrics) is the dessert.

Once I have it all 'fleshed out' I get into my nerdy-tech interests.  I've been involved in PC's since an Apple ][ back in 1977.  I also, as CIO, took a company from 10K in sales to over 2-Billion within 10-years and doing all aspects of IT and robotics was so so much fun.  This is why I love the AI side .. I'm getting into the LLM and really merging it with music.  For example, I'll specify (say) G Minor, the tempo (timing, beats), vocals, languages, instruments and so forth ... it's almost like C++ programming.  From there I take the lyrics and clothe it in song.  So I'm basically merging musical theory and tech.  Again, the story/lyrics are the most important aspect but the tech side sure is fun.

Finally, as I was an artist as well, I spend a lot of time doing the various track covers(which are all custom made my me, only, I tend to do them at 4K or 8K.  Then there's last but not least, organization and all the background work to keep it organized.

I'll get an email address up - if you have a story to tell let the ole Rainforest Cowboy know.  I love to write about peoples' experiences, their cities and nations, hobbies, hopes and fears.  Maybe you're in love, promoting a charity, or missing a lost one - if you would like to share, I'll make a song about it.
