Description: Added my guitar to the backing from Willem de Fouw featuring George Boehme on Sax ,Martin Van Gulik on keys and double bass.

Thankyou! especially for allowing me to play along with that.I tried to do a little interplay with Georg's sax lines.Hope he likes it.

I think you captured the feeling of the piece perfectly!

Thankyou; I think Willem de Fouw and his fellow musicians deserve much credit for creating the backing track with such a smooth Bossa Nova sound..The feeling all starts there and draws you in.

I love this! Nicely played and the perfect tempo.

Good interpretation, very fine guitar playing👍✌️

my mother used to sing this for 30 years or so in clubs

This is a fun country music track called "Running After Bacon".

Running After Bacon (Country Dance)

"Necessity" is a soul-stirring collaboration featuring the smooth and gritty poetry of Maeki Maii and the intricate guitar work of Dave Featherstone. This genre-blending track explores the tension between want and need, weaving together elements of indie-folk, ambient pop, and subtle blues textures. With raw lyricism, moody instrumentation, and a chorus that lingers long after it fades, "Necessity" is both intimate and expansive — the kind of song that quietly demands your full attention.

The Girl From Ipanema

When Noobly sent me the instrumental I was blown away with its beauty. My instant thought was that I have to come up with something as equal and meaningful. I had to write from the heart and I have always had a vivid memory of the last time I spent with a close friend a week before his passing.
 I’ve tried to paint the picture from my head into the lyrics.
There’s not a day I don’t think or mention him as it’s the third anniversary this year of his death.
He died of liver cancer that took him swiftly from this world. He left a Wife  and two beautiful young adult daughters. 
Rest in peace Andy my friend and I will never forget the laughs you gave me and support over our long 
Friendship.
Conscience of Kings gives you ….

The last time

V1 
You  opened the door 
With me containing the shock 
You lead me down the garden path
To where the sun shone on the evening grass
Giving warm to our last time and past

Ch 
I just knew 
Its the last time with you 
You made it easy just being you 
A paragon of virtue 

V2 
You offered me a non alcoholic beer
Like it was the way forward from here
So we touched glass and said our final cheers ……
Me in my T-shirt & shorts you layered up to contain the warmth 
We drank we laughed we reminisced about our stupid past.
I will always be grateful for memories that always last

I just knew it was the last time with you……repeat

Ch 
I just knew 
Its the last time with you 
You made it easy just being you 
A  paragon of virtue

The Last Time ~ Conscience Of Kings

This is the first in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short and inconclusive tracks, which I’ve assembled by working on new and reworking on some old material adding parts and sounds. 
Will anything actually happen in the end? Unlikely. Definitely not here. Here it’s a montage of bare arpeggios in various keys.
I recorded this some weeks ago: sorry about the guitar sound, the string squeak is a bit too much; now, I hope to have fixed that investing in a better and more expensive set of strings.

Didn't See It Coming

Fell in love with Guitar sounds since I first heard Duane Eddy twanging out Rebel Rouser. Then I heard  Chet Atkins Hi Fi in Focus album. This was back around 1960.Me and my brother Cliff got guitars as soon as we could and started learning ourselves to play some tunes. Now about 60 years later I am still loving it. I lost Cliff last year but his jazz loving influence is still present in my playing. You can just never stop learning new stuff and ways of playing when you love the sound a guitar makes. My son Bryce also fell in love with guitar and he also is a fine singer. Il be also posting some songs that have been able play along with him.I  just hope there are people who will enjoy the music I play and post, thankyou Al Gibbs
