Armour (YGB) Short Form

A Tribute to Herbie Hancock.  Two of my favourite compositions , Maiden Voyage and Elegy ( which is itself a tribute to Miles Davis) 

Journey Of Love

Don't Run Demo

A World where our children  can hold hands and sing
And go to the playground and play on the swings
and know not of race or of class or of skin
I had a dream, but sometimes it seems, 
like I should have known better

Men free to worship any “God” that they choose
a chance to grow up without being abused
my favourite dream is a dream shared by few
I'll keep on dreaming that my dreams will come true

poor and hungry
warring countries
make me feel so sad
I try to remember if I stand up and sing
then I don't feel so bad


A chance for the hungry to grow food of their own
work where the workers don't get worked to the bone
a shoulder to cry on, a place to call home
my favourite wishes do I wish them a lone?

Life before profit, wants after needs
men who would follow their good words with good deeds.
In my favourite harvest there's no room for greed
we all reap the fruit if we all sow the seeds

please yourself first, second nature
that's not how it should be
the needs of the many outweigh those of the few
those who want the world for free
squeeze the poor so the rich get more so
when will people see

to be poor is a crime, half the world's serving time
sentenced to eternity, sentenced to eternity



dream of a time where money doesn't make you king
all round the world scales of justice will ring
pile on the money but the balance won't swing
make justice free as a bird on the wing
I have a dream that the future may bring
and end to oppression so that people can sing like
Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King
they both dreamed the dream of my favourite things

Go to Hell, Go to heaven,
Wonder where they might be
Heaven and Hell are both here on this earth
but some find it hard to see, some find it hard to see
in the darkness that surrounds us
some may give up the fight
but if I can remember my favourite things
everything's gonna be alright
everything's gonna be alright

Bass line inspired by Omar & Mica Paris " Should've Known Better"  Performed by Julie Dexter Daniel Crosby Robert Mitchell and Vidal Montgomery at some jazz festival or other many moons ago.

This track is given free.  But if you'd like to pay for it,
or make a donation, BARAC will happily accept the money 
to help combat racism in the workplace, and other forms of
Babylonian oppression.  It's your call. 
 They helped stop the Human Zoo  exhibition in London in 2014,
So I think they're good value for money
