For everyone that loves our friends on two-wheels - mountain bikes (MTB), 10-speeds bikes of the 80s, the 70s 'banana-seat' bikes, cargo bikes, commuter bikes, E-bikes, front hubs E-bikes, mid-drive e-bikes, scooters, motorcycles and more.  If you ride your bike professionally, just on occasion, urban rides or trails, deliver food on it or commute to your workplace - this song is for YOU!  A great way to have fun, get healthy and help the environment.  lol, I stopped my bike and wrote the lyrics on my smartphone - a lot of lyrics I write on my smartphone.

Electric Dreams on Two Wheels

The song is really about the sensuality, eroticism, and beauty of Japanese women. Japan is an amazing place - and the women, absolutely beautiful.

Experimental track along the lines of "Ani", as I work out the 'bugs' (the equipment isn't designed to be used this way which makes it more fun).  A look into the trials that Emperor Palpatine, (Darth Sidious) has in raising the rebellious teen Darth Vader to adulthood as a single parent.  I went with a hard rap to reflect the 'dark side of the force'.

A look at the Salvation Army's heroic efforts in Asia.  They are involved in many areas - some we'll look at later on such as anti-trafficking, education and disaster relief.  I've contacted some of the Corp's Asian efforts such as in the Philippines for research - if that goes well then I'll have future tracks on their efforts in Asia which are far more diverse then most realize (me being one!).  Should you wish to donate time and/or monies I'll post their web page a bit later (I'll update this).  I'm sure they would very much appreciate the help.

The Salvation Army - Asia - EN KO TA JA (Multi-Lingual)

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!

海外フィリピン人/外国人労働者（OFW）のクリスマス - JP

A tale of love, longing, romance, separation and reunion from China which goes back 2,600 years.  The tale takes place during the Qixi festival (Han Dynasty) when The Weaver Girl (Vega star) falls in love with a simple cow herder (Altair star).  The love is forbidden and the lovers are separated.  The Jade Emperor - unlike his wife whom separated the lovers) - has pity due to the pure love and allows the two lovers to meet once a year.  A bridge of magpies forms (they are on opposite sides of the Milky Way) allowing the lovers to reunite once a year for a single day.

Fusion track of 80s Synthesizer (Roland TR-808, Yamaha DX-7) and Electronic Dance Music (EDM).  I also went heavy on an electric guitar in this track.  

I'll upload more later based on a fusion of eastern traditional instruments, Techno, and Rock.  I'm covering my primary operating system (OS) which has replaced Windows 11 for 98% of my tasks.  

I started with UNIX in the 1970s, have used BDM/freeBDM, Linux (MX Linux since 2017) .  I still have DOS 1.0 n a 5 1/4" floppy disk (720 KB), started with Windows 1.0 in 1985 not long after my first Mac in 1984 (first Apple in 1977, CP/M based Apple ][.  I've also written many OS and computer based books including ones which rank #1 globally.  

What MS is doing in regards to data harvesting with Windows 11 is ethically and morally wrong and very dangerous.

I might also include some of the scales I'm using, instruments, and beats per minute (BPM) - it's more of the background 'stuff' that goes on around here.

MX Linux 25 (80s Synth EDM Electric Guitar Fusion)

Fusion track of eastern traditional instruments, techno and rock.  I'll upload six other languages tomorrow.   Traditional instruments often go nicely with a fusion mix  like folk, Bosa Nova (Latin music is hot), Afro, pop and so forth.

The track is covering my primary operating system (OS) MX Linux which has replaced Windows 11 for 98% of my tasks.  In fact untl my MX Linux 25 (2025) upgrade I've being doing this running MX Linux (2023) off a USB drive!  One I migrate I'll be running of a NVMe in a dockcase of the Gen 2 USB port.

Happy New Year 226 to everyone!  I'll have more tracks for New Years -  This is an up-beat (fast tempo) Eastern-Tech-Rock fusion.

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.
