interesting version that I had to listen to in its entirety - I definitely won't be able to do that with the original

In for Life

The Doonesbury Band is pleased to announce their new single Gotta Get High. 

See the official video here https://youtu.be/FdicVFpxEw8

Recorded in Roberts Creek British Columbia at the BADASS (Beach Avenue Design And Sound Studios) an exclusive and privately owned waterfront recording studio - the sound is unique and flavored with 60s 70s and 90s spices. 

"As a band we've played some pretty amazing cocktail lounges and we also record in some great studios but BADASS is another level. It was off the charts mind blowing. A real great place to make music with vintage gear mixed with high tech, it's by invite only so we feel really blessed when we are there. You feel at home pretty quick drinking a Hennessy or chilling on the restoration hardware couches and then you look out at and there are hump back whales going past and a bald eagle sitting right there, Its freaking mind blowing and really added to our mindset in a positive way. Still drank way too much though that also added flavor.."

The song is 110 bpm and just over 6 minutes in length. A great tribute to the rock and roll lifestyle. Leading in with a clean guitar riff and the subtle sounds of an electric piano the beat kicks in and drives the song with strong vocals similar to a Burton Cummings sound and a great fun original narrative.

Back up vocals are raw and powerful adding to the narrative. A technical note of interest that the backup vocals were each doubled up and slightly off set to get that great edgy sound. 

"This was such a great song to write and play. I feel it gives homage to all the awesome years we've had as a band together. We're not crazy like we were but we can still run up a bar tab pretty good. It was fun and I want to thank BADASS for thie hospitality and I look forward to seeing the guys again soon on tour." Doonesbury lead singer and creative director.

Guaranteed to get folks up and dancing Gotta Get High is released on Shaffer Music label. 

Look for the song available on 7" vinyl, CD, streaming and possibly…tape cassette? Who knows.

The Doonesbury Band will be releasing tour dates asap for thie Slow Down album released in July 2022.

Gotta Get High

I have had a fascination with the song Amazing Grace for many years. I produced 4 different versions or arrangements and released those on four different CD's over the years. This is my rock version. Long time LCF members, Christy and Lorraine are the featured vocalists with our LCF brand three-part harmonies. Pat Bryant has been my longtime friend and wingman on bass guitar. He created great bass lines for these tracks of Amazing Grace.

This tune was performed by Mike Oldfield in 1983. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

Josephine: 
 There's rain on my window, but I'm thinking of you
 Tears on my pillow, but I will come through  
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  and every single step I take, I'll take for you  
Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love  .

Now there's a storm on my radar, but I can still fly  
 But you are the reason for the blue in my sky   
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  and every single step I take, 
I'll take for you
My Josephine, I'll send you all my love,   
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love

 Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  
and every single step I take, I'll take for you
My Josephine, I'll send you all my love,   
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love
 When I'm far away, oh so far away, I'll send you all my love  
 Joseph-ine, I'll send you all my love,               
 Joseph-ine, I'll send you all my love ...

Joséphine

About the dissolution of a band, particularly my bands!!Trying to keep one together is futile, been “ cancelled “ a few times… not for inerrant behavior, but because of stated beliefs.., just a drummer who likes creating and recording hopefully cool tunes… I am nobody’s final judge… just a prompter on side stage… don’t endorse everything, but I am far from perfect.., but I profess and know, One who is… wish the cookie was still in tact, and we put it up on the refrigerator, for all to gaze at… trying to make new cookies, these days….I think it’s kinda like if Kurt Cobain sang with The Knaack! Could b wrong.., still hope you enjoy!!🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎

I've been writing songs since I was 10 years old (2 chords back then).  I've now produced 10 projects with original songs.  I got to travel the world and band members became family. I hope one or two of you like my music. My songs are about the things I've seen and felt over a lifetime.
