America
BY CLAUDE MCKAY (1921)
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

I wrote this song during the pandemic during lock down. I'm glad I do not feel this way anymore; however, you'll never know the good times if you don't have some bad. I really appreciated what Jessica Lloyd recently wrote about this song. You can check her review out with the attached link. Thanks for listening. 

"I loved the beat on “Dream #50” I’m not entirely sure if it was manipulated guitar or synths but everything here has a symbiotic relationship. It sounded like one moving organism. The vocals are again quite catchy and haunting."

SO...It has been almost a year since I have thought about playing any music,
and have barely even visited SoundCloud in the interim.

Indeed, it has been that long since entertaining any diversions at all,
as I have been engaged with serious health issues concerning my son.
After a lengthy hospital stay with an aggressive infection,
resulting in pneumonia and requiring surgery,
he is finally to the point to where he is strong enough to stand
and take a few brief steps.

So, I have only recently allowed myself enough space to contemplate music
...at least for a brief spell, or so long as it can last.


Here are simply a random collection of instruments
and the suggestions they evoked for me upon hearing them.

Lingering Echoes – The Station 
June 2023
Duration: 2:35
Fascinating sonic places that provoke lingering memories. 
Photo of the Old Penn Station in the 1950's 
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimigliafor his highly valued musical input and for creating the “The Station” sound library used to compose this piece.

The oldest terminal station in the world was Crown Street railway station in Liverpool, England, built in 1830, on the locomotive-hauled Liverpool to Manchester line. The first stations had little in the way of buildings or amenities.  Early stations were sometimes built with both passenger and freight facilities, though some railway lines were goods-only or passenger-only, and if a line was dual-purpose there would often be a freight depot apart from the passenger station.

Many stations date from the 19th century and reflect the grandiose architecture of the time, lending prestige to the city as well as to railway operations.  Countries where railways arrived later may still have such architecture, as later stations often imitated 19th-century styles. Train stations built more recently often have a similar feel to airports, with a simple, abstract style.

Records:
• The world's busiest passenger station, with a passenger throughput of 3.5 million passengers per day (1.27 billion per year), is Shinjuku Station in Tokyo.
• The world's station with most platforms is Grand Central Terminal in New York City with 44 platforms.
• The world's station with the longest platform is Hubli Junction railway station with a platform length of 1,505 metres (4,938 ft) and is located in Karnataka, India.
• The world's highest station above ground level (not above sea level) is Smith–Ninth Streets subway station in New York City.
• Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue in New York City is the world's largest elevated terminal with 8 tracks and 4 island platforms.
• Shanghai South railway station, opened in June 2006, has the world's largest circular transparent roof.
• Penn Station is the busiest train station in the Western hemisphere serving more than 430,000 commuter passengers a day.

The Fall (Part I) - Cosmogonic Myth

Pictured above is the song author/musician keeping a low profile.
Lyrics:
You know she's an exhibitionist
She likes to talk about her business
And she talks about it loud
10 million followers on the internet
She's an exhibitionist
That's not what I do
When I walk into the room
I am real smooth
You know, if you know me well enough
I like to keep it cool
I like to keep it loose
With a low profile (3X)
I like to keep it loose, I like to keep it cool

Yeah, an exhibitionist
Talk about our business
Talking about it loud
Get those likes
Don't forget to hit that button to subscribe
That's your life, it's not mine
With a low profile (2X)
Keeping it cool
There's are things you're gonna think, but I already knew
With a low profile (3X)

I like to keep it loose
I like to keep it cool
You know, that's what I do
When I walk in a room
I keep my low profile
Sometimes you just think I'm in the ether
Like I was never there at all
But watch me be just real smooth
And exit this song
With my low profile...

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
