This is an old band recording I never planned on sharing. We were practicing in a hall, and one of the guys used to record our sessions, this is one of those takes.

It was many years ago, before I lost the ability to lift my arms. But when I listen, I’m right back there, breathing music into the room with people I cared about. It brings me back so vividly it hurts a little, a lot actually, bittersweet doesn’t quite cover it

The whole thing was improvised. I used to be able to play the saxophone like some people whistle, hearing the tune and responding without thinking. It just flowed, it was the one thing I really excelled at.

The quality’s terrible, I know. This was never meant for anyone else, just a moment captured for us, for joy, for memory, for connection. But I’ve been sharing more of myself lately, and this was, or is, a big part of me.

It’s not perfect. It’s not clean. But it’s real

💜 For anyone who’s had to let go of something they love, this is a piece I got to keep.

Lyrics

Juice my July
Give me new high
Mind weeds for the free
Give me beat 123
Please

Gather round
Look, a planet
Let's land, it can be us
As us, it's found
Come closer
Here we make sounds
Melifulous mind quietens ego grind
What will we find?
Me?
You?
Us?
Again?
Modern meditative magician
Feeds forever silent grin

Gather round
Listen
The silence, it sends
You see quiet doesn't depend
Only miss-judgement to up-end

It sends more
It sends a silent roar
It sends reality
Pretends nothing 
It sends the real me

It received a flow that only I can know
It receives scenes observed as clean
It needs not pill as ears do swallow
This timeless sound making me less hallow

Juice my July
Give me new high
Mind weeds for the free
Give me beat 123

Rapture from serpent
Wise young owl
Child of my nature
Parental to proud
Still set my bar
Good silent soul mate
I am still aural jar
Your hands have the lid eternally

Gather around each other in silence
Grow as yourself
Best food for true love compliance

Juice my July
Give me new high
Mind weeds for the free
Give me beat 123


Notes
Delay Pedal: 7808 msec - 1 run alternating reverse & modulate settings on the fly - feedback infinite for each hot loop. I use a Boss DD20 and it's great for that. It allows loop of current setting and you are allowed change to an ajacent setting without killing the loop. It in turn kills the original loop when you switch again but it allows for some really cool live delay builds. I go for reverse& modulate regularly as they offer a lot of dream and compliment each other nicely.
In this case the order was

Loop 7808 msec
1 ) Reverse delay run and off
2) Break and change to modulate
3) modulate run and off
4) Add lib
5) More modulate
6 ~ Ad-libbed to end... I disable the original reverse loop at some point 

I've mentioned before .. Whether you use delay or not it's very fascinating to learn the time and tempo relationships in figures and you get a lot from that in my view in your general outlook of music. It maybe paints the symettry and maths that music is another way and shows very nice relationships between BPM and duration. relationships between 60 / 90 & 120 etc become clearer in numbers and maybe offer additional nuggets of understanding it all

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Das erste Licht berührt mein Zimmer  
Malt goldene Spuren auf die Wand
Ein warmer Hauch, kein Geisterflimmer  
Die Nacht lässt los, was sie noch fand

Auf einmal glitzert jeder Morgen  
Wie tausend Lichter überall  
Fort sind die Schatten meiner Sorgen  
Im warmen Sonnenstrahlenfall

Die Freude tanzt wie Morgentau  
Kristallklar durch meine Seele

Durch einen Sonnenstrahl  
Wird alles fresh und hell  
Das Leben zeigt sich überall  
In seiner schönsten Stell'

Mein Kaffee wird zur Symphonie  
Ein Lächeln wird mein Feuerwerk  
Ich groove zu dieser Energie  
Die in den kleinen Dingen twerkt

Wie Magie verwandelt sich  
Der gleiche Tag in Abenteuer
Die Freude war schon immer hier  
Sie wartete auf dieses Licht

Ein Sonnenstrahl genügt...  

Durch einen Sonnenstrahl  
Wird alles fresh und hell 
Das Leben zeigt sich überall  
In seiner schönsten Stell' 

Durch einen Sonnenstrahl 
Seh' ich die Welt so klar
Die Magie war immer da  
Jetzt wird sie mir offenbar

Dankbarkeit durchströmt mein Herz
Für dieses Licht, für diesen Tag

English translation:
The first light touches my room  
Paints golden traces on the wall
A warm breath, no ghostly flicker  
The night lets go of what it still found

Suddenly every morning glitters  
Like a thousand lights everywhere  
Gone are the shadows of my worries  
In the warm rays of the sun

Joy dances like morning dew  
Crystal clear through my soul

Through a ray of sunshine  
Everything becomes fresh and bright  
Life shows itself everywhere  
In its most beautiful form

My coffee becomes a symphony  
A smile becomes my fireworks  
I groove to this energy  
That twerks in the little things

Like magic,  
The same day is transformed into an adventure
Joy has always been here  
It was waiting for this light

A ray of sunshine is enough...  

Through a ray of sunshine  
Everything becomes fresh and bright 
Life shows itself everywhere  
In its most beautiful form 

Through a ray of sunshine 
I see the world so clearly
The magic was always there  
Now it is revealed to me

Gratitude flows through my heart
For this light, for this day

In this track in my series inspired by the journey of the Fool in the Tarot deck, The Emperor describes the profoundly deep and vital relationship between the ruler of day, the male principle,  and the ruler of night, the female principle, i.o.w. the harmony of the creator with the creatrix that the whole creation depends upon.

Thank you for nothing .mp3

Not exactly fine dining music. Rather, a bit of easygoing and no fuss music with my good friend David Dunham. Good with a cup of coffee and maybe a piece of apple pie.   Thank you David.  It's always a pleasure to make music together.  Check out David's soothing guitar here ---> @david-dunhamuser589535203

Old Timer at the Diner with David Dunham & Debra Buesking

Just beyond my fingers...a memory of feels
and dare I recall the chaff and the wheathead
...the sticking web, in the morning dew
and once there...
does anyone exist in the footsteps of the few
and unless I observed U...
saw U crawl to get ahead
...to get what U are due
then maybe it's all plastic and cocaine residue
one will never leave and one is gone too soon
yea yea
in the mirror I am reflected and perfumed
...'til I am scented
and I now grasp repentence in the rearview
yea, bae...just for U
does anyone exist in the footsteps of the few
and unless I observed U...
saw U crawl to get ahead
...to get what U are due
then maybe it's all plastic and cocaine residue
one will never leave and one is gone too soon
yea yea

So this is a cover of a song by Wendir and he asked if I would do a version in my own unique style... back handed compliment maybe hahahahaha!!!

First of all I was surprised anyone would want me to cover their music. So may I thank Wendir for the opportunity!!! 👏 I had fun with this i wont lie, its a great song and I love the lyrics and structure. ❤ 

I made some minor tweaks to chords
and structure to fit my style to make sure it was authentically from the heart and souls as possible. 

I felt it in my soul whilst paying the various guitar parts 🎸🎸🎸. and singing.  I hope I have done your song justice @wendir and I hope you hear my sincerity in my playing and singing. 🔥 

You may hear my zakk Wylde influences on the vocals and mark knopfler on the cleaner question and answer lead. and some others I wasn't aware if (outro verse randy Rhodes attempt)..Either way I bloody loved recording this and I hope you all out there on scoundcloud enjoy it too... please do listen, like, repost and repeat!!!!!! 👍 ✌💘 

I am always up for a colab, just ask my good friend @Somewhere77'.

***LYRICS***

Woke up this mornin’ with a war in my head,
Battles still ragin’ from the things I never said.
Mirror’s starin’ like it knows my shame,
Tryin’ to outrun what I can’t even name.... 

Clock keeps tickin’, drawin’ lines in the sand,
Life throws punches I don’t always withstand,
Voices in the shadows whisper doubt,
But I fight like hell to drown ’em out.
Fight like hell to drown them out... 

It’s the duel, every night, every dream I chase,
A thousand masks, one haunted face.
Truth cuts deep, but I never kneel,
Wounds may bleed, but they help me feel.
Yeah, it’s the duel this war is real..... 

No white flag, no retreat in sight,
Just broken wings still learnin’ flight,
Each scar’s a story carved in bone,
In the ring of fire, I stand alone... 

It’s the duel, in the dark, in the blinding light,
The endless fight to make wrong feel right.
I stumble, I burn, but I rise anew,
’Cause losing ain’t an option when you’re true.
Yeah, it’s the duel—me against the truth. 

So bring the storm, let the thunder roll,
This battlefield is carved in my soul.
Day by day, I play the fool—
But I never walk away… from the duel!!!!!!
