Name: If Jan Akkerman Played A Telecaster by Davy Vance
Duration: 2 min 44 s
Description: In my teens I loved Focus songs such as Hocus Pocus and Sylvia,they epitomised melodic rock guitar of the era. My love affair has been with the Telecaster,so this is my ham fisted tribute to Jan and the rock instrumental.

Like you, I've been a lifelong fan of Jan and Teles.  Love the tune and the playing.

Nice one Davy - I always loved Sylvia, great song.

what a rich sound right off the bat!  adolescent me used to get such a rush from Hocus Pocus -- still do   Very clean and inspired playing here Davy -- the bridge and reboot work very well. That tone is such a pleasure to the ears!!

Beautiful electric guitar, skillfully played.

How to do a rock waltz without sounding mechanical.  A triumph of dynamics,  Great, Davy!

spellbinding tribute to a great guitarist

RISE AND FALL

I never set out to make tracks like this... I even mean NOT to... but they seem to happen anyway!

Anyway, the image came first ... variants here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2e27ago_j1/?img_index=2

The connection between classic and modern...there is so much in common to discover ;-)

Song Notes and Lyrics:
This song imagines one of those occasions when you by chance find yourself in a place where there is some great live music that somehow just seems right.....
Lyrics:
Somewhere in New York City
Or was it down in New Orleans 
Could have been in San Francisco
Or maybe it was all a dream
I was walking by an old blues bar-room 
When I heard somebody playing with some style
So I bought myself an ice cold beer
And listened for a while

Looked like he’d lived a whole life-time
Beard gone silver grey
The people in the place seemed spellbound
Happy just to hear him play
At home on stage under the spotlight 
Keeping time with his heel on the floor
I bought myself another beer
I stayed and Iistened some more 

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

He played until the bar-room closed
Right sound right time right place
He walked off into the night
With his old leather guitar case
Never knew his name
Don’t even know if he still plays
But I’ll picture that stage and hear that sound
For the rest…of my days

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

Photography, painting and music are inextricably linked for me. My paintings and photographs are created on an equal footing with my songs. Sometimes they are mutually dependent, arising simultaneously in a creative process. This led to an idea for a video to bring you closer to my pictures and my music:
YouTube: https://youtu.be/n13TdtRdiy8?si=RUHeT9A52veBCZoG
Composed after a painting from a current series. Music created in interaction with painting and vice versa.

Fotografie, Malerei und Musik sind für mich untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Meine Gemälde und Fotografien entstehen gleichberechtigt mit meinen Liedern. Manchmal bedingen sie sich gegenseitig und entstehen gleichzeitig in einem kreativen Prozess. Daraus entstand die Idee für ein Video, das euch meine Bilder und meine Musik näher bringen soll.

Dieser Song ist komponiert nach einem Bild aus einer aktuellen Serie. Die Musik entsteht im Zusammenspiel mit der Malerei und umgekehrt.

A song about how I came to learn to play the guitar and start to write songs. I am very sorry for the poor sound. But at the moment I can only record with my phone. That's why I have to play the song in one go. The drums are just the built-in drum accompaniment of my amplifier, which I switched on in this song after the first chords. I will buy an audio interface and try to find a DAW (free or not too expensive) - if you know a free one, you can send me a PM.
One day I will manage to get a better sound, I am sure! But for the first songs, only all live-played with the drums from my amp recorded via phone, since I cannot do more at the moment. Perhaps some like it nevertheless? I am a bit excited about pulishing my first track here...
Since someone asked for the lyrics:

Motörhead is dead
A song called Ramones brought me to them
In my girlsroom I learned to play the guitar
I knew that I would not get very far
When my teacher told us, Motörhead is dead
I wanted to find out the music they made
The music was so fast, the sound was so hard
A song called Ramones brought me to them
Another great band
A second hand guitar, amp from my brother, too loud for my mother
In my girlsroom, on my bed, with headphone on, guitar in hand
With every chord I felt more alive
Motörhead and the Ramones became my drive
I plug in my amp and turn on the sound
Playing Motörhead so loud
With Motörhead my journey had begun
Now I write songs one by one
I learn how to rock and run
And Motörhead lives on and on and on and on

Motorhead Is Dead

A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
