Gaelic Boogie

This song, produced in GarageBand, with additional rhythm tracks, is based on one of my earliest instrumental tunes. The lyrics:

1.Amy… are you really there?
Amy… a whisper in the air;
A sound that I hear, so soft and so clear,
Is it Amy?

A memory so dear, so far and so near,
Was it Amy?
You are a song out of rhythm and rhyme
A story from once upon a time...
Amy.

2. Amy… a wisp of candle light…
Amy… a shadow in the night...
You were a girl that I knew, or maybe a girl 
I only thought I knew;
A radiant girl, with musical eyes,
That I want to know;
You were a song almost heard and then gone,
Like a light that goes out with the dawn,
Amy.

(bridge)
The wink of an eye , a tear and a sigh;
A promise, a lie, a final goodbye,
Here, and gone again.
I was young and afraid of the plans that we made,
I broke every rule in the the games that we played,
Once, and then again 
You are the vow that I'll never fulfill,
A promise to love you until
The end.

3. Amy… dancing on the air,
Amy, were you ever there?
Did we kiss in the dark long ago, 
Or did I just make it up?
Were we too young to feel, or know it was real...
Was it really love?
Or just a dream that I had long ago,
The truth is I'll just never know
Amy.

May, 2018: A new version of one of Slim's standards, played on his new 1993 Bourgeois OM (Cedar top over Brazilian rosewood back and sides). The  tune is "Vin De Pissenlit" (Dandelion Wine en Français, in honor of "Sophie", an imaginary mademoiselle for whom Slim's new guitar is named).

Dandelion Wine

A quick variation on one of Slim's old standards, accompanied by GarageBand percussion, and played on his new 1993 Bourgeois OM guitar.

Tripwire

I am an artist and amateur musician, born in 1950, living in Oakland, CA, and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. I started playing guitar at about age 13, playing the folk and "protest" music of people like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, etc. For many years, I have played, for the most part, music of my own creation, inspired by the likes of John Fahey, Tommy Emmanuel, and especially, Leo Kottke.

A few years ago, when I began recording my music for friends, I invented, for reasons obscure even to me, a pseudonym for my musical self, a "nom de strings", as I like to say. "Slim Jimsøhn" is that fellow's name. He even has his own biography, and a home in Yreka, CA, in the shadow of Mt. Shasta.

Thank you for your interest in my music. I do hope you enjoy it!

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)

NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
