For me brother

Lyrics:
Under the stone
Round one     Here it goes
Chase lizards, rescue birds   Play with the dog adopt a cat
Magic summer days   In the north and south
Round 2   Not so sweet anymore
Fight, slam doors   Different interests 
Different friends  Yet outside 
We are a team
under the stone   what did we find
bits and pieces of our life 
Round 3    From bad to worse
She is a stuck up    He is defensive
They both hurt but don't get    Each other
Winter days with Rays of hope 
Now round 4   We are older
We lived through some
Found each other
Again
May this spring
Last forever
Brother
under the stone   what did we find
bits and pieces of our life 

Under The Stone

Seasons Of My Heart { Original }

I have always loved this song. Hendrix was such an incredibly intuitive and inventive guitar player and great songwriter; he didn't hold a strat, it grew out of his soul. This is a sketch of one of his beautiful thoughts. It's not meant to be a facsimile, it's just meant to refresh a memory, a little tiny bit of the wonder of the prophetic and charming voodoo chile. Fly on Jimi, fly on...

Castles Made of Sand

CASTLES MADE OF SAND  - Jimi Hendrix

His life was gentle; and the elements
so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
and say to all the world, This was a Man!

William Shakespeare
English poet and dramatist (1564-1616)
considered one of the greatest English writers.

This was a Man!

Kindred (Demo)

"Wait A Minute, are we straight up back in the 70's? NayJ. & Mike Spring channeled something extra funky for this slick strutin' workout. NayJ is full on attitude as she sings with soulful sass, warning all the young women out there about the lip licking ways of the dog. Mike Spring drops some greasy riffs on his Fender Strat while his Fender jazz bass locks you deep into the funk groove! This is mad funky y'all! Now get up and dance! -CKP"  (http://musiciselation.com/  https://soundcloud.com/plastic-inevitable  https://www.facebook.com/musiciselation)

"An exceptional Funk track in the best tradition of Motown and P-Funk and who could sing it better and cooler than NayJ? Extra compliment for the groove, which is not just straight 16th, it seems to swing a abit"  https://soundcloud.com/heartscore

Personal note: 
NayJ, thank you most dearly for making this original production so worthwhile. You did it again girl!

Here you all can find our earlier collaboration https://soundcloud.com/nayj-2/empty-bucket-nayj-mike-spring
 
Commentary:
When I'd recorded the funky instrumental I asked NayJ if she was interested making a song out of it. She appeared to be excited immediately :))) And oh boy what a song she made! The lyrics point out to how shallow young girls can be aiming for a life in luxury. Obviously she has a message to them… 

Instruments for this original:
•	Fender Strat 3x
•	Fender Jazz Bass 
•	Programmed drums NI Abbey Road series
•	Midi keys
Recorded and mixed in Cubase Pro 8, mastered in Ozone7adv.

The vocal arrangement is created by NayJ https://soundcloud.com/nayj-2 next to the writing of lyrics and the recording of thevocals.


Lyrics:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hey
This song is to all the young girls out there
Who's living life like you just don't have a care
Wait a minute wait a minute

Oh
You say you looking for a man
You said you're running out of time
He's gotta have that curly hair
You say he's got to be fine as wine
You said you're looking for a man
Who's going to give you diamond rings
Shower you with bling bling
And promise you everything

Wait a minute, wait a minute, better hear me wait a minute, better hear me, wait a minute

Oh uuuuuuuuu
Oh girl
That ain't the way
You better listen to me
You better hear every word that I say
You better listen real good
You better make sure that it's understood

Cause It's some dogs out there
Wait a minute, wait a minute, better hear me wait a minute, better hear me, wait a minute

Oh girl don't be a fool
While you're starting out nice and fresh
Just make the wrong moves
And you'll be branded with the rest

If you let the wrong guy
Don't you know he'll use you up
Then he'll lick his lips
And be ready for his next sup

Oh yeah yeah wooooooooo yeah yeah
Oh can you hear me, you better hear me girl
You better listen to what I say
Cause It's some dogs out there
And they're headed your way

Oh
They really don't give a care
Just looking for a little play
They will ruin your reputation
And it will become your identification

Oh wooo oh ouw
Girl you wanna a man
A man who will treat you right
You want a man who will put a ring on it
A man who will make you his wife

Don't you know the diamond rings
They don't mean everything
Cause baby if you ain't got love
Girl you ain't got nothing

Wait a minute, wait a minute, better hear me, wait a minute, better hear me, wait a minute

Do you hear me girl
Do you understand
Well if you understand
Then it's time to do your funky future wedding dance

Take you're veil off
Blow a kiss to the left then to the right
Wave your hands up high
Like you're reaching for the sky hey ya
Slide your foot to the left and then to the right
You're gonna take it down real low
Funky Future Wedding Dance
When you know you've got a good man

Wait A Minute --- NayJ & Mike Spring ---

A bit of an homage to my home in Northern California...and an excuse to play some harp...
Lyrics:
Going back to California
Lord, I miss my Golden State
Oh, I miss my little home there
About an hour north of the Golden Gate
Well, I can sit up on the ridge line
Underneath the Redwood trees
On a warm California morning
I can feel the ocean breeze
Oh, I'm homesick…
Going back to California
Lord, I miss my Golden State
Yea, watch the sunset from my back porch
Oh, I’m just sipping my blues away…

Back To California

 Borrowed Shoes - ThePhaige and Jaime J Ross
***********************************************************
If i were to try to explain where this title/concept came from I'm afraid I would use all of the "characters" that SC allows me for a song description…and i would hate for you to get Lost in those details…so I will focus more on what the song is about…This song is about how the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence…how we think we would SO love to be in someone else's  shoes if only for a while. Sometimes, when we "borrow their shoes" we find that it's not all that it's cracked up to be and we quickly realize that staying in our own shoes is always the best way to be.

When Gary and I first spoke of this lyrical idea, he had a pretty clear idea of what kind of a "feeling" he wished for this tune to have…but we needed the words. So, given the title "Borrowed Shoes" he set me free and I started to write. Well, I am quite like a racehorse let out of the starting gates at this point and I just started writing…and writing some more…Gary had to rein me back in a few times as I was writing cool words but not exactly the words that we needed..nothing that "fit the vibe"…until i came up with what you will hear as the opening lines/verse…once those words came and Gary came back with the vocal melody it was ON!  We then, finished writing the lyrics together.

Gary came up with such a funky cool bass swagger which is what gave us the vibe we needed for our vocals…we did the back and forth singing thing until we had all of our vocals in place…after that, Gary got out his guitar and did the biz on the rest of this piece. I love how he weaved in and around our vocals in places…I am such a fan of his guitar work and style!!  

Once again, it was such a total joy and pleasure to create with Gary. I really love the vocal he is bringing to this piece..he found a different tone/vocal texture for each of his verses…each one unique and each one so totally cool. We have such a blast creating music…and, when we are done, it's not just a "new song" we have…it's a complete experience…with great memories and fun times…that, to me, is what it's all about…and, I'm so grateful that he continues to create such awesome pieces that we can sing on…cause it's much fun, oh yes indeed :)

***********************************************************
i put on his shoes
and did all he dooz
and waited to feel just like he
and when we became
one in the same
i noticed I really really missed me 

Shes the girl with the borrowed shoes

I put on her shoes
stepped outta my boots
and waited to feel just like she
together we move
I'm intah her groove
and now I really really miss me 

Shes the gal with the borrowed shoes

a rocker be he
 seemed totally  free
diggin all that i  seez
when i become he
our vibes disagree
and then i quickly run back to me

He the boy with the borrowed shoes

a rich man he iz
done well in the biz
living in that luxury
when walkin with he
true poorness i see
i realize the deep riches in me 

Hes the Man with the borrowed shoes

A model was she
true beauty she be
inside her mirror i so can see
that under her skin
the ugly begins
i'd rather be just as i be

Shes is la Femme with the borrowed shoes

a star on the screen
so loved and so seen
gonna shine just like she
red carpets she gots
high heels I have nots
I just wanna be who i be

Shes the madam with the borrowed shoes


That gal looked so nice
I had to look twice
Her curve projected in my mind
perfumes she did wear
my man hoods a flare
But I wanted more my family at home

He is the married man with the borrowed shoes

Enough's dont suffice
I must go get two 
I probly need more like thrice
So I've acquired all fours
Now I should be complete
But what was found was that one was already pretty sweet

Hes that dude with the borrowed shoes

we might outta stay in our own shoes

"Electro Paralysis" by Gerjo + Collins !

OH MY DOG ! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT !
WISH YOU HAD SEEN THE THING I SAW
A STRANGE GLOW APPEARING IN THE FOG
IT LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL BUT HAIRY AS A HOG
COULD IT BE HIM ? COULD IT BE HER ?
HARD TO TELL
IT DON’T HAVE A RACE NOR A GENDER

OH MY DOG ! IT IS AMAZING ! 
I THOUGHT IT WAS A SIN BUT IT WAS JUST SWEET LUST
I SAID A LITTLE PRAYER IT SEEMED LIKE A MUST
I READ IT ON MY BUCK IN DOG WE TRUST
IS IT A POODLE IS IT A BEAGLE ?
HARD TO TELL
IT RATHER LOOKS TO ME LIKE A FLYING EAGLE

OH MY DOG ! WHAT A REVELATION !
I THOUGHT THE LORD WAS BLUE BUT IT HAPPENS TO BE GREEN
AND SOMEPLACE IN BETWEEN IT MIGHT SAVE THE QUEEN
IT FEELS SO GOOD I FEEL SO SAFE
IT’S HARD TO TELL
AND I WOULD GIVE AN ARM JUST TO SEE HIS FACE

OH MY DOG ! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT
THOUGH I READ IT ON THE PAPER AND I SWEAR IT ON THE LORD
SHE LOOKED LIKE A BARBIE WITH A FACE OF GOLLIWOG
AND IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME MAN 
YOU CAN CHECK IT ON MY BLOG

OH MY DOG !
OH MY DOG !


OH MY DOG ! (lyrics)

Thanks to Eventide for the little bit of extra on the guitars:

The Eventide H910 Harmonizer was first demonstrated to universally positive reactions at the AES show in late 1974. It was designed by Eventide's first engineer, Tony Agnello (who went on to become the president of Eventide's audio division). The pre-production prototype was a hand-wired box topped with a music keyboard controller. Jon Anderson of the band Yes was among those impressed, and he became a tester for the first prototype. The production H910 was released in 1975, offering pitch shifting (±1 octave), delay (up to 112.5 ms), feedback regeneration and other features in an easy-to-use box that sold for $1,600. The H910 was named after a Beatles tune (the model number refers to the "One After 909").

The first H910 customer was New York City's Channel 5, utilising it to downward pitch shift I Love Lucy reruns that were sped up to create room to run more commercials. Speeding up the reruns had increased the pitch of the audio, and the H910 was able to shift that pitch back to where it originally had been. Frank Zappa added it to his guitar processing rig. Producer Tony Visconti used the H910 to create the snare sound on David Bowie's album Low, as did Tony Platt on AC/DC's song "Back in Black". Another popular application was to use two H910s slightly detuned with a small delay. Notable users of this twin Harmonizer effect included Eddie Van Halen, who used it for his trademark guitar sound, and Tom Lord-Alge, who used it for the vocals on the hit Steve Winwood song, "Back in the High Life Again". Recognising the popularity of this application, Eventide later recreated it as the "Dual 910" program in the H3000 UltraHarmonizer released in the late 1980s.

The H910 Harmoniser was recognised by the AES with a TECnology Hall of Fame award in 2007. (Source: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventide,_Inc)

OK, Turn It Down A Little

OK, TURN IT DOWN A LITTLE ....

Two stories of tragedy, set to music.  Original Spoken Word and Music by Paul Scheberle.
 SPENT 
As he laid on the sidewalk, shaking and cold
His mind wandered back, when he didn't' feel old
It was wonderful then with only the best
With three piece suits that showed his success
A life full of friends, a wife he adored
A house full of kids, was his life's reward

He lit up a smoke that someone had tossed
He knew what had happened, he knew what he lost
How could this happen? He wasn't so bad
He was good to his wife and always a dad

I'll tell you what happened to this broken down man
The man took a drink and the drink took the man.
His life went out with the smoke in his hand
Yeh, the man took a drink and the drink took the man

DISCARD   by Paul Scheberle
She leaned on the rail clenching her fists
Shards in her heart, scars on her wrists
Like the rag doll she felt like, all pulled apart
Looking down at her future, that never did start
No one would care if she decided to stay
Tears falling in water and rippling away
She thought about school, they made fun of her looks
The friends that she had, they all lived in books
Eating lunch in the bathroom, where she would escape
For the moment she’d hide from this form of rape   
Every morning a greeting from faces so fair
She wears the same dress; just look at that hair
Being quite entertaining, the brunt of the joke
Not bearing the weight, her heart it just broke
Where did she go she wasn’t in school?
Another statistic, she just wasn’t cool

Everybody knows Gene...Remix
Composition,Music ,lyrics, harmonica, Piano, Bass, percussion, drums production and vocals by Bruce Conover
Guitar Solo by Matt Warnick
Phil McWalter vocal and added lyrics
© Conover-McWalter April 2016

Everybody knows Gene...Yes they do
You'll want to stay all day
And everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
No-one wants a party 
If Gene isn’t about
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

Everybody knows Gene...

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games 
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den? 
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again?

We’re playing hide and seek with Gene
Everybody knows Gene...
We’re playing hide and seek with Gene

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games 
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den?
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again? 
Everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

@phil-mcwalter took my original music bed and created a bit of a homage to George Martin imagining another facet to The Fool On The Hill character. He said and I quote: "Bruce's track was so redolent of the Beatles already. The @conover bed included the main man singing the eponymous title lines "Everybody knows Gene..." and the lovely rich "bum, bum, bum" and "la, la, la..." bits! I cut it all up and sellotaped it back together in a different order; added lyrics, the song verse/chorus, and the additional orchestration (brass, guitars, strings etc). Good fun working with BC material as always! (Isn't the bass line stunning for one example!)"

AND NOW THE REMIX! I worked on Phil's version and edited, remixed and remastered, added a few friends contributions and some different seasonings, cooked it all up on Bruce's beachside barbecue and invited you all over to enjoy the new flavours! Please enjoy and bring a bottle! I promise not to hide!! Lyrics and provenance below:

Everybody Knows Gene (Conover & McWalter)

Just Where You Are

It got very cold out here
On the outskirts of space…
Out here in space

But you’ll be the last one to ever know

Just swear you are

Just where you are

Just where you want to be….


 repeat once again and Find yourself Man……..
