state of Veracruz, best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the U.S.A

Enjoy..!!

LA BAMBA (Cover)

Dominique Is Stoned - Instrumental Version

Redemption is an original track set up by Mirko Borach soundcloud.com/stringburner. In Mirko's words: "The title Redemption aims to signify the balance between the human soul and nature in a spiritual way of life far away from the hustle and bustle and the drab monotony of everyday life.".

This track brings to mind the glorious days of seventies fusion with bands like Return to Forever, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Weather Report. Mirko, aka Stringburner, sent us the outline of this track with some splendid bass work and percussion. 

Dan van den Berg soundcloud.com/danarchx on acoustic guitar, Jamie Rhind soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind on synthesizer & Julien Apelian soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 on piano and keyboards joined in on Mirko's request to really make this a virtual band effort where each player is featured. We are very proud of the result.

We had a great time pulling this together and hope you now will too. The photo of the beautiful waterfall was taken in Costa Rica by Jamie. As always we really appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

Me gusta

Me gusta dejarme llevar,
del brazo de la soledad,
los pies en la arena mirando la estela
de barcos que llegan con frutos del mar.

Me gusta sentarme a tomar,
un mate mientras vos llegás y
perfuma el ambiente mientras se cocina
un pez sin espinas arroz y azafrán
y vino para adobar.

me gustan las flores de azar,
me gusta cuando me escuchas
cantar un candombe, y dejar nuestros nombres
pintados en la pared.
----------------------

Me gusta lo que ha de venir,
cuando te quedas a dormir,
tu cara en mi almohada, tus piernas bronceadas,
tu ropa tirada por la habitación.

me gusta cuando al despertar,
regala un concierto unl zorzal,
busco mi guitarra y escribo en tu espalda
dos versos que tallan en una canción,
Nacida pa la ocasión.

me gustan las flores de azar, 
me gusta cuando me escuchás
cantar un candombe, y dejar nuestros nombres
pintados en la pared.

I like

I like being taken
by the arm of loneliness,
feet on the sand looking at the seaway
of ships that arrive with seafood. 
I like sitting to have,
a mate 1while “Soledad”
who perfumes the room while she cooks
thornless fish to be flavored
with spices and salt and wine. 
I like flowers
I like when you listen to me
singing candombe , and leaving our names
painted on the wall.
---------------------- 
I like what is going to come,
when you stay over,
your face on my pillow, your tanned legs,
your clothes all over the room. 
I like when I get up,
And the thrush is giving a concert,
I look for my guitar and write on your back
two verses that will become a song,
made for the occasion. 
I like flowers
I like when you listen to me
singing candombe, and leaving our names
painted on the wall.

Far Away

This song began life in 1953 as a rumba entitled: “¿Quién será?” by Mexican composer Luis Demetrio.   Norman Gimbel added English lyrics and in 1954 the song, renamed “Sway” became a hit for Dean Martin.
	“Sway” has since been recorded by many artists, most notably Shaft in 1999, and Micheal Buble in 2003.
	My version has moved away from Buble's extravagant stage version towards a more acoustic but still danceable, maybe, sound.   Anyhow, it is a great song and I hope this version does not put you off.

Letra  / Translated lyrics (inspired by Aldous Huxley's novel 'Island')

EL PÁJARO MINAH  /  THE MINAH BIRD

Me desperté  /  I woke up
de un sueño equivocado,  /  from a wrong dream,
tumbado entre palmeras,  /  lying among palm trees,
no estoy perdido ni encontrado.  /  I’m neither lost nor found.

Me siento bien,  /  I feel alright,
el sol me ha iluminado,  /  the sun has illuminated me,
la vida se estremece  /  life is shaking
y el egoísmo se ha agotado.  /  and selfishness is exhausted.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

Es esto real?  /  Is this real?
Atrás quedan las ruinas de la ciudad.  /  Behind are left the ruins of the city.
No pierdas tu tiempo,  /  Don’t waste your time,
no sufras más.  /  don’t suffer anymore.

Cuando el ave abra sus alas  /  When the bird opens its wings
y el día se convierta en oscuridad,  /  and the day becomes darkness,
escucha su cantar,  /  listen to its singing,
deja de pensar y vive.  /  stop thinking and live.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

El ritual del Mosha,  /  The ritual of Mosha,
luz del amor al alba,  /  light of love at dawn,
la plenitud del alma,  /  the fullness of the soul,
el privilegio de la vida  /  the privilege of life
como canta el Pájaro Minah  /  as the Minah Bird sings.

Una procesión de focos avanza,  /  A procession of lights goes onward,
rugir de tanques, ruido de armas.  /  tanks roar, noise of guns.
Un grito llama a la venganza  /  A shout claims for revenge
cuando un soldado dispara al Pájaro Minah.  /  when a soldier shoots the Minah Bird.

Tanques y tropas arrasan la ciudad.  /  Tanks and troops raze the city.
La estupidez humana es el arma más letal.  /  Human stupidity is the most lethal weapon.
Cien años de historia  /  A hundred years of history
en una noche ven su final.  /  in one night watch their end.

Cuando el ave cae al suelo  /  When the bird falls to the ground
y su sangre se convierte en hielo,  /  and its blood turns to ice,
y se apaga su cantar…  /  and its singing fades…
Jamás aprenderás si no quieres escuchar.  /  You’ll never learn if you don’t want to listen.

Pero cómo no lo pueden ver?  /  But how can’t they see it?
Hemos sido bendecidos al nacer.  /  We have been blessed at birth.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que la vida es sueño.  /  that life is dream.

Y no quiero despertar   /  And I don’t want to wake up
de este sueño equivocado.  /  from this wrong dream.
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …

++++. 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.
