A Light in the Storm

Long before September 11, 2001, there was a September 11, 1950; the birthdate of my wife Terry.  This song started out as a very personal musical portrait of her.  Debra became interested in the track after I sent it to her for collaborative consideration.  The result is something very special for the both of us and we hope you too.  In my playing, I address the intimate side of the song and day. In Debra's playing, she addresses the now much larger meaning of the day for our nation and the world. Ultimately I think what we are saying is that 9/11 is profoundly personal. Each of us, if were old enough to remember, know where we were, what we were doing the day the attacks occurred. The attacks also shook the world, world markets, world travel, and any and all sense of security.   Profound sorrow was draped over our country and any nation that called us friend.  "Stay With Me" is another way of saying "hold me close", "we need each other", and as the track picture suggests "forget me not".    A big "thank you" to Debra for lavishing her talent on this very personal song.    More of her beautiful music can be heard @debra_buesking.

I got roped into a song writing competition where they assign the topic.  The topic was "First Kiss", I don't think this was what they had in mind.

A song about a dream that takes me away to an Island in the Sun, do you want to hop aboard and lets set sail for better weather and peace.

6 minutes of peace

Souls are hungry for a different future. Souls need a substance that no one has yet explored. Souls need sentences that no one has said yet.

I would like to thank Fiona Greasley (aka Electrometis). Her song in collaboration with Brian Butt's "Raindrops" made me compose this...

Now one or the other may say or ask: "Huh, what do these two songs have in common?" Maybe not much, possibly. But it still inspired me, that's all 😆

Comforter Of Souls

My third project and first EP, WHAT YOU LOOK FOR; a sonic documentation of my journey to validation, justice, love, pleasure, satisfaction and meaning. Here, I have also begun to experiment with and tap into echoes of drone music.

THE COLOR OF IT

Something Blue

With nowhere else to go but forward, I ventured deep into the blue forest.  There were spirits living here, but they seemed to be okay with my presence.  One of them helped guide me through the maze of trees, over rivers and through natural tunnels buried beneath the earth.  It never spoke to me, but It seemed to want to show me something, so I followed.  The light began to fade away.  Nightfall was coming.  I had to find a safe place to sleep.

Spirits of the Forest

The spirit brought me to an empty clearing in the forest with nothing around but a rough wooden sign that read “Welcome to Lamplight Village: Home for all Mages ”.  This was rather odd since there was nothing here but an empty field.  I went ahead and continued forward, and just as I passed the sign post a village illuminated with thousands of lamps began to materialize before me.  There was a river running through the town with multiple cobblestone bridges crossing over it.  People wearing dark cloaks were walking about, entering shops and restaurants, and keeping themselves very busy.  I was stunned by all of this.  I spotted two weary travelers entering an Inn across the bridge that was closest to me, and I recognized them.  I remembered seeing them from a distance back at the Mesa Settlement which seemed like ages ago.  I was curious what their story was, and I needed to rest anyway, so I headed on into the inn.

A Light In The Storm

At one point in your life your guardian angel wil come to you and whisper: 
I am Your Guardian Angel
I am a Part of You
I am here to Guide You,
Love You and Protect You
You Don't Need to Hide Your Feelings 
from Me, for
They are my Feelings Too.

Your Guardian Angel

Back To The Moon

I like hiking in the mountains with my wife. And I like listening to music.

++++. 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.
