The track that every songwriter wishes they had composed.  Vocalised with the passion, tone and phrasing to which singers aspire. Performed with the skill and intelligence we all seek.

Stunningly beautiful song from Dónal and your good self, Suzanne...your vocals bring this story to shining life

Here's a live video the song, introduced by Christian.

I was 16 when I arrived in Liverpool, in 1955
I knew no one, thought no one knew me
Till I heard someone call out my name


At the port I was ordered to sign papers
but I could not read or write
Ashamed and weighed down
It said with me all through my life

Leaving Ireland, is my way back to you
I will return very soon
Over the sea that separates you and me

For a very brilliant friend not feeling too great at moment,

The G Is For Gentleman (J's Theme)

The G Is For Gentleman(J's Theme)

Bonjour!!
Depuis le temps, j'avais besoin de me défouler un peu, du coup j'en profite pour expliquer à quel point je me sens plus proche des canidés que de mes congénères.

Ah, au fait! Neyko, c'est le nom de mon chien. Voici les paroles:

De nature plutôt placide                                     
Fidèle à la meute à laquelle j’appartiens
Le museau long la truffe humide
Confirment que je descends du chien 

C’est une prise de conscience à l’évidence une évidence
En ce jour nouveau je déclare par St Bernard du bout des crocs :
Je suis Neyko

	Lancez au plus loin la balle
	Je la rapporterai	
	La rage, l’emportement brutal
	Je saurai oublier

	Tombez / de l’au-delà d’un arbre, 
	De ce que vous voulez
	Je ne suis pas de vos semblables, 
	C’est un fait 

Je n’ai jamais mordu personne
Ce n’est pourtant pas l’envie qui m’ a manquée
Certains diront que je déconne 
Que je suis bon à enfermer

Dans un chenil de fous
Oh my dog

	Lancez au plus loin la balle
	Je la rapporterai	
	La rage, l’emportement brutal
	Je  saurai oublier

	Tombez / de l’au-delà d’un arbre, 
	De ce que vous voulez
	Je ne suis pas de vos semblables, 
	C’est un fait 

Allez va chercher

Je descends du chien

Je Descends Du Chien

Cast of Characters:
Witches of the Alamo-- @witchesofthealamo – James – vocals, mix, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen–  rhythm and solo guitar
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four-string fretless bass


This classic Grateful Dead song has been a favorite of JJ's since his playing in a bar band days, decades ago. Therefore, he decided to come up with a perfect, lively skeleton on his piano for us to use for it, and shared it with us. Josh, being a Deadhead as well, jumped on the chance to play Phil's part on his four string fretless bass. Ken, who isn't necessarily a Deadhead, but can play most anything, jumped on with his driving drums around the same time as Josh added his bass line, as they went back and forth a few times before getting the rhythm section settled. 
  Stephen came along next with his cunning rhythm guitar, follow closely by his solo for the solo section. JJ added his solo for that section right after Stephen had laid his part down. Then we turned it over to James to add his rich, accent-drenched vocals. 
  When we had all the parts down, we turned it over to James (or Stephen) to produce and mix for us, which he did in expert fashion.
  This song was a lot of fun for the Deadheads in the band and non-Deadheads alike to record. This is also the second collaboration done by James and the Eclectic Collective, and we all enjoyed having him on this project.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Me And My Uncle (Eclectic Collective feat. Witches of the Alamo)

Performed and Produced by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ron Todd

Gonna ride my bike like Steve McQueen
Be just like him from that movie scene
A flash of dust like a bullet I’d be gone
Blue jeans, white shirt, leather boots pulled on

Travel this country from end to end
Every drive in bar gonna be my friend
Just a smell of rye and store bought gasoline
Get my face on the front of a famous magazine

Chorus
I just wanna be like Steve McQueen
He was rough and tough, he was lean and mean
He had it all a blue eyed sex machine
I just wanna be like Steve McQueen

Bridge 
So
I’ll Smoke those wheels
Kick those heels
Nobody know the way it feels
Oh Yeah

Guitar break

Gonna ride that bike foot to the floor
Miles around you'd hear the engine roar
Never touch the brakes I’d go full on
Cos you wont even see me I’ll be up and gone

Yeah white lightning ain't got nothing on me
Down the highway, sheer poetry
Go so fast, the city lights fly by
Won't catch me I’m like a comet in the sky

Chorus

I just wanna be like Steve McQueen,
From that movie scene
Like Steve McQueen

Just Wanna Be Like Steve McQueen (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

With my electronic piano from Yamaha, a Clavinova with integrated VSTi, I simply improvised.
Mit meinem elektronischen Klavier von Yamaha, einem Clavinova mit integrierten VSTi, habe ich einfach mal improvisiert.

Clavinova Livesession

Everything's always working out for me
Even when it's messy, wild, or hard to see
I close my eyes, take a breath, believe
There’s a force out there that's guiding me

Little signs, they show up every day
In the quiet, or in the loudest way
Even when I stumble, I still land free
‘Cause something bigger’s walkin’ next to me

Everything's always working out for me
When I visualize my life, I see
A future that was made so perfectly
Even at times when I can’t see
The universe is lookin’ out for me

Missed calls, detours, change of plans
I’ve learned to trust what I don’t understand
What falls away makes space to grow
What doesn’t stay just helps me know

There’s magic movin’ underneath the doubt
Quiet hands that help me figure it out
Even when I’m tired or feel alone
I feel it pulling me back home

Everything's always working out for me
When I visualize my life, I see
A tapestry of synchronicity
Even at times when I can’t see
The universe is lookin’ out for me

It’s in the numbers, in the rain
In whispered peace after the pain
The deeper truth beneath it all
I’m always caught before I fall

Everything's always working out for me
When I let go and just let it be
Even the hard days set me free
Even at times when I can’t see
The universe is lookin’ out for me

Yeah
The universe is lookin’ out for me


Always Lookin' Out For Me

Samhain
The púca
Of all the ghosts and fairies abroad on Halloween, the púca (or pooka) was the most feared and October 31st was known as Púca Night in parts of Ireland. The púca, meaning 'goblin', can be malevolent or benevolent and is not solely associated with Halloween. It's a mythological fairy and the ultimate shapeshifter, capable of appearing in a variety of forms but most commonly as a dark horse or part dog.

Spring Solstice


Winter Solstice 
The Winter Solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on 21 or 22 December, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. At sunrise on the shortest day of the year, for 17 minutes, direct sunlight can enter the Newgrange monument, not through the doorway, but through the specially contrived small opening above the entrance known as the ‘roof box’, to illuminate the Chamber.

April
First swallow of the year
Welcome, welcome
From out of mud in lakes
Were you resting there?



March

Unveils like a first thought
A whisper



February

"Nothing stands out yet", you said
As you looked over your shoulder
Broad and rounded, square and hunched
I thought I heard you say, "We are water
And over time we solidify"

January
Snow white egret
among fields of greenandbrown
Are you lost in its vastness?
Bubulcus ibis.

DE-cem- ber
Silver EEL migration 
down river to the sea
on a moonless night

through
an obstcale 
of nets
Cutting blades
pollution
And 
Par -a -sites
White egret



December
Mild to touch, not yet winter
snow drop dropping still
daffodil 

November, can I surrender to your dying
Are you truly dying or surrendering



Is it not enough to be ALIVE, autumn 
As birds migrate thousands of miles, autumn
Of an inner stirring and outward knowing

Is BE-ING
to Our Mind
bor -ing

As summer turns, it turns
To autumn, autumn
The slugs and worms live at the root; 
The slugs eat the juice of carrot
Is it good for their EyEs too...?

I buried a 'th' in the soil
With vowels and nettles
And I, this eyE, aye, oh
This What...?
This sometimes
Known thing
Doesn't kNOW oh oh

Winter take, take these
Sor rows, lay them
Deep ee eep
To become worms
for the birds to eat


ever ever
Denied to
