My treatment of the first track on the classic Moondance album . . .

And It Stoned Me

Sweet Thing

"Brown Eyed Girl" is a song by Northern Irish singer and songwriter Van Morrison. Written by Morrison and recorded in March 1967, it was released as a single in June of the same year on the Bang label, peaking at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song spent a total of sixteen weeks on the chart.[2] It featured the Sweet Inspirations singing back-up vocals and is considered to be Van Morrison's signature song.[3]

SWEET THING (VAN THE MAN COVER)

This is probably the hardest I've worked on learning a song since I obsessed over being able to play the parts of Fur Elise on piano. This wasn't an easy song to learn. The bass was challenging. I'm still working out the kinks for the lead guitar part; I'm basically happy with it, relieved I finally got it recorded once... many, many takes. Planning on asking a friend to do the vox!

My cover of a very beautiful song, Have I Told You Lately, from Van Morrison. A love song often played at weddings, Have I Told You Lately was originally written as a prayer to the Divine, and that's how I sing it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY

[INTRODUCTION: INSTRUMENTAL]

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

For the morning sun in all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
Somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's Divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun.
At the end of the day
Let us give thanks and pray
To the One
The Great One

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Ah, have I told you lately that there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

[INSTRUMENTAL]

There's a love that's Divine
And it's yours and it's mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day
Let us give thanks and pray
To the One
To the Great One

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Oh, have I told you lately that there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Have I Told You Lately

Nostalgic country alternative rock ballad about loss of a loved one

Roses

A medley of the song "Gloria" by Them, Van Morrison.

GLORIA M E D L E Y

Bassist, producer & funk fiend | anomaly | anachronism | defiant demolisher of the pigeon-hole.

“The Funkestra has got that ‘what is hip’ attitude...more deep grooves than a 78 rpm record,” enthuses George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly.

On Dr Hypenstein, Redtenbacher's Funkestra brings their danceable brand of funk, laying down 13 of their funkiest grooves yet, from the fluty can't-stop-your-feet sounds of the title track to the heavy crunch of "Swagger," then letting the atomic dogs out with "Cave Canem" and the percolating "Funktionality."

London-based bassist, composer, arranger and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher is the mastermind behind Dr Hypenstein, which includes the bass-driven "Bass Face" and "Bassbulator," the dare-you-not-to-move "Right On It" and "Supergalactic," and expands on previous material to incorporate electronic sounds in all the while standing proud with the history of funk.

This is the eighth album from Redtenbacher's Funkestra, which regularly performs at (and packs) London's legendary 606 Club and other established London venues. Guest musicians have included Fred Wesley, Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis, "Doc" Kupka, Lee Thornburg and Lenny Pickett from Tower of Power, Eric Krasno of Soulive, Stanton Moore of Galactic and the horn sections from Prince, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies.

The Austrian-born Redtenbacher fell for Herbie Hancock and Maceo Parker early on, then studied at the Vienna Conservatory and Boston's Berklee College of Music, and has recorded and performed with legends including Steve Winwood, Jack Bruce, Amy Winehouse, Lulu, Mica Paris, and Herb Alpert.

"Stefan, you know what the funk is about!” (Fred Wesley of the JB’s)

John Briner has built a distinguished career spanning law, business consulting, and the beverage industry. He is the co-founder and CEO of Tangled Beverages, an innovative hop-water brewing company. Prior to starting Tangled Beverages, John was the owner of Northwest Hop Farms based in Chilliwack, British Columbia, developing an international import/export business and creating a network of hundreds of customers and thousands of social media fans.

His path into the beverage industry came from a passion for hops and a craving for novelty. After years of contact with craft brewers and seeing the remarkable variety of flavours hops can provide, he realized something was missing—a product that highlighted those distinct traits but in a non-alcoholic drink. This realization inspired Tangled Beverages, which provides consumers with a refreshing, zero-calorie, guilt-free option that maintains the hoppy, unique flavours that craft beer drinkers love.

John has leveraged his entrepreneurial spirit and consulting ability to create a lucrative career. He made Northwest Hop Farms an industry leader before founding Tangled Beverages. He is also a business advisor to corporate clients in the mining, real estate, and agricultural sectors.

Before being a business leader, John was a musician, winning several songwriting competitions in his teens and twenties. His songs have been featured in movies, television and radio. Today, the same principles he learned from music—innovation, adaptability, attention to craft—inform his approach to entrepreneurship.
