If James Last did Dadaism, this is what it would sound like.

The Situationist

This was one of my earliest compositions - from around 2001 - of what I would consider a 'full' song... i.e. not the usual recording of me noodling on a part to build on later and never finishing. The main chorus & verse theme are pretty straightforward and remind me a little of the 'Winter Games' theme by David Foster. But the bridge section in the middle and especially the arpeggio in the closing section are something quite different... arguably my favourite minute or so of anything I've recorded.

Eclectic Collective:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
Surfers like Us - Artur - songwriting, rhythm guitar

This is a song that I passed on to my friend Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series. Cowabunga!

The One (w/Eclectic Collective)

The story that goes behind this is: 
"There once was a well-to-do Irish lass,
Who sat & ate blades of grass.
Upon the day she ate too much, 
She slipped off a cliff's slope as she was aiming for more to touch.
She then mysteriously turned into a sea octopus.
So much for the legs of an Irish Lass,
Who ate her last grass! " ©9/30/2023--by Lady ElectroTrek

Life's Strange Fantasy

Of Limerick & Legend

Imagine living in a castle with every material thing you ever wanted.  Would you be happy?  Would you feel like a King or Princess?  The fantasy is ages old, in every language and culture.   On the surface, a castle represents all the romantic notions of love, dreams, and happily ever after.  But what really happens Behind the Castle Doors is up to you!  Enjoy...

Behind Castle Doors

For the arpeggio moments we all have in our lives. Or maybe you don't? What, never? Are you sure??

Alt Country/Folky musician-songwriter.  I hope these songs  are amusing.  

I also post the occasional set from Irish trad sessions recorded on cell phone,  though Irish trad is best enjoyed live. 

Thanks for listening.
