Awesome ! Grandiose , makes me think of George Gershwin, Bravo

So beautiful! I was captivated by the pure crystal tones and mysterious melodies, and of course the adorable photo!

Beautiful whimsical piece of music seeking the boundaries of harmonic progressions. Congrats Frank!

Lovely harmonies coming through, great playing!

Translated lyrics (a funny-epic poem when I was 15):

Cacique manda: “¡Ir a cazar!”  /  Chieftain says, "Go hunting!"
Mondongo Gwanda pronto marchar.  /  Mondongo Gwanda soon leave.
Él ha bebido vino y gazpacho;  /  He has drunk wine and gazpacho;
torre ha subido todo borracho.  /  tower has climbed all inebriated.

Gran cazador, Mondongo corre  /  Great hunter, Mondongo runs
ojo avizor desde la torre.  /  watchful eye from the tower.
Cree haber visto una gacela.  /  He thinks he saw a gazelle.
“No me resisto, voy a cogerla.”  /  "I can’t resist, I’ll catch it."

Lleva su lanza, lleva su flecha,  /  He carries his spear, he carries his arrow,
pronto la alcanza y encima se echa.  /  he soon reaches for it, and jumps over.
Su colocón le trae de cabeza,  /  His drunkenness gets him in trouble,
¡el tío torpón falla la pieza!  /  the clumsy guy fails the prey!

 “¡Jopeng!” Exclama Mondongo, duro,  /  "Dang it!" exclaims Mondongo, tough,
enciende llama porque está oscuro.  /  he lights fire because it’s dark.
 “¡Cagonla!” Grita desesperado.  /  "Bullshit!" he screams desperately.
Ya la monita se le ha pasado.  /  The hangover is over already.

Sobrio, Mondongo no se calló,  /  Sober, Mondongo didn’t shut up,
dijo: “En el Congo soy yo el mejor.”  /  he said: "In the Congo I am the best."
Fue lanza en mano tras el animal,  /  He went spear in hand after the animal,
bajo un manzano fuelo a encontrar.  /  under an apple tree he got to find it.

Comiendo estaba tranquilamente,  /  It was eating calmly,
Gwanda acercábase lentamente.  /  Gwanda approached slowly.
Ya que la vio le tiró fuerte;  /  Once he saw it, speared it hard;
tanto la hirió, le dio la muerte.  /  he hurt it so much, caused its death.

Mondongo salta, vuelve al poblado,  /  Mondongo jumps, returns to the village,
alegre canta: “Ya la he cazado”.  /  happy he sings: "I’ve already hunted it".
Mondongo Gwanda llega a casita.  /  Mondongo Gwanda arrives home.
Cacique aguarda, le felicita.  /  Chieftain awaits, congratulates him.

Damage
============

Once again I was lucky to coincide with Peter in a new musical project.

I had a draft project for the end of the year, but everything was precipitated by an accident.

The things that we take for granted, those that include our automatic pilot of life, or as Peter wonderfully defines in the publication of this same song on his page, simply stop working and go into manual mode. There our clumsiness seems to increase with the fear of making a mistake and its consequences.

I must thank Peter for his wonderful lyrics, and for his beautiful and enveloping message that, through music, can travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers to arrive as a message of help to whoever needs it... in this case, to myself.

Listen to this same version and rate it, if you like it, also on your page.

Lyrics.

Damage

Smack out of the blue
Right out of nowhere, knocked out of true
Time to re-adjust
The confidence I used to trust.
I'm seeking damage limitation
In healing rehabilitation.
Fix the pieces back in place
Reassemble my time and space

Tripped out of the norm
Try to stay planted throughout this storm
I'm slowly climbing back
Step by step, get back on track.
I'm seeking damage mitigation
In healing rehabilitation.
The mental plastic surgeon's knife
Repairs the fabric of my life.

Looking good from here
Banished all the doubts and fears
I'm back in full control
Stronger still I'm ready to roll.
Completed damage restoration
Through healing rehabilitation
With family love I'm on my way
Looking forward day by day.

White Heat

As you surrender to the flow of this haunting melody, you may find yourself walking alongside phantoms of memory, each step echoing with the echoes of lost times and places, of joys and sorrows once vivid, now fading into the mist. It is as though the music itself traverses a landscape of dreams, where reality blends with fantasy, and every listener becomes a traveler in their own mystical quest.
