Talking about our lifetime

The long anticipated;) follow up has arrived.  I begin the song with a brief reprise of "Two Faced" to set the stage.  After the cold and bluster of March, the gentleness of spring and early summer is felt with a walk in the park.
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my ode to March and especially the interest shown in the little teaser, epilogue now a more complete thought.  As they say, "take time to smell the flowers":)

A Walk In The Park (David, acoustic guitars)

The Love

This is a track about simplicity and innocence. It is about when clouds are passing over, and then the return to sunlit clarity. Especially it is a remembering of the mind of a child, and how they are able to fluidly let go of the shadows, and return to the here and now.
Also it is a remembrance of my own simple original state, and costal walks with my lovely mother, in southern England, once upon a time in a time of peace.

Simple things

'An Epoch Of Insanity' inspired by the current plethora of ego manaics in charge of our world. I'm joined by my good friend, composer, arranger and master musician, Georg Boehme. All wind arrangements and sax solos are by Georg. Main composition and everything else by myself, including production.

An Epoch Of Insanity (Feat. Georg Boehme)

Hello, Freind. Thank you for visiting my page.
**All compositions are original, and free of A.I.**
 As musicians we crave to be heard, to be seen, to share with another some of the joy we take in our creating. In fact our music does not really "exist" until it has evoked a response from another.  Indeed to be a human is to live with the need to be seen and responded to.
But this is world where we are distracted and drowning in content; constantly being pulled at by the algorithms competing for our attention. A world where " everybody's talking and no one's being heard" (John Lennon).
So your human attention has become a scarce and valuable thing. A commodity that is being mined.
So I really do appreciate that you have taken the time to visit my page, and listen to my offerings. Thank you.
 I welcome your comments, your feedback, your friendship. I will visit you in return.
