beautiful Rick - laying out so much of your heart here

Wonderful version!! Soulful vocals & relaxed tempo & muted guitar all work perfectly! Congrats!!

I love what you've done with this. Entirely respcectful, yet you have taken some sonic chances in making it your own. Moving sound and performance.

A lovely tune composed by Benny Golson. Featuring Henning, Wolfgang, Christoph and my clarinet.

I wish I had some one
That 
 is
Always there to listen
Someone that would tell me
That I’m funny

solo

If I had a girl friend that
Would do anything 
to make me happy
She would cheer for me at my games

solo (darker)

We could bake some brownies
We could shoot some hoops
We could survive this craziness together

Megaphone: 
All humans have the same rights
Have a nice Day
Be kind to every one

Bridge (dreamy)

We could ride our bikes to the mall
Dress Bold
Proudly
Hold Hands
Lead our squad
To show the planet how to
To be Alive

Megaphone: 
Machines to carry the heavy stuff
Machines to drive the kids
Machines to clean the buildings
Machines that fight the wars

My DAD
drops me off in his vintage Corvette
He tells me I need to develop a killer drive
(rolls eyes) 
I just want to be alive
And 
Have a girl friend

J'ai développé une chanson trouvée en gratouillant. 
Le texte vient toujours après: dans le cas présent je me souviens de ce qu'on m'avait raconté sur les derniers jours de Johnny Weissmuller alors qu'il était interné. Il se mettait parfois à pousser le cri du personnage qu'il incarnait plus jeune. 
Je ne rends pas un hommage, aucun intérêt, je me demande juste ce qui lui passait par la tête.

I don't respond to likes, I only respond to feedback. Likes mean nothing, they achieve nothing, feedback is by far the best to give support, it increases and maintains the visibility of posts, which results in more visitors come to the page, and that, in turn, results in more feedback. To me a LIKE with no accompanying feedback is saying, your tunes isn't good enough for me to leave a comments, your music isn't as good as mine, so don't waste your time clicking like if you don't think my tunes are worthy of feedback because I will ignore it. 
A like without feedback could also mean, you never actually listened at all; either way, I find it insulting so ignore it, but if you do leave feedback I will show you the same respect, listen to your tunes and leave feedback!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN ART (THE DEATH OF DAVID BOWIE)

LYRICS

All my friends are telling me
You're not loyal - you're a cheat
They say that you have brought me down
They want to meet me on the town

I will secede
I will secede 
I will secede 
I will secede 

I've been sad since meeting you
You've made me look like such a fool
Now I hear you're whispering names
All your friends think I'm insane

I will secede
I will secede 
I will secede 
I will secede

That's why my friends been tellin' me
There's something that I oughta see

A Song To Remember You

About a couple of weeks before recording this, I heard Jack Semple play it live at a place called "Carlson's On McLeod" ... right here in High River ... and he did it so well.  Not long after that event, I heard Leonard Cohen had passed away.  I became deeply moved and started playing it for myself then decided I would try recording it.  I do hope that it is a worthy cover.

Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Blue Prints From My Soul

Hallelujah - For Leonard (Cover)

Somewhere I read that SoundCloud is the DIY of the music world.  Very true for most of us wannabe (famous) musicians.  For those who were lucky enough to spend years in an actual sound studio, maybe this is a slam dunk. For the rest of us, it's like being the Wright brothers before they fully understood science behind aerodynamics much less get a machine to fly.

I have learned a lot in 2018 thru 2019 while playing at small, local venues.  It's a lot easier to sit back in a "recording studio".  I do put that in quotes since, for me, this is just a couple of microphones connected to a DAW which is connected to a computer with some multi-track software and some free plugins to enhance the finished product.  I believe there are about 5 unique disciplines to learn which include: playing an instrument, singing, doing both together, using a microphone, connecting with the audience.  I have much more respect for stage performers now, especially solo artists. Now, if one adds the discipline of recording engineer, well then, you have a well rounded musical background. 

I do hope that you enjoy some of my tunes.  I'm always happy to hear from listeners who have something meaningful to share, even when it is not particularly flattering or in someway odd.  I'll even try to answer any questions you may have.  Remember that you are never too old nor too young to create and share your music and/or share your knowledge.

Hallelujah - For Leonard (Cover)
