It's good to find you here, with this excellent concept .... in a style of another time, but that you master so well, and give it sounds of today .... The guitar is really awesome.

Yes, really retro, but so pleasant to listen to ....

Well done fellas, this would have been a lot of fun, transports the mind to a calm place & a place of real musicianship.

Yeah ! This is so smooth, jazzy with hope and fun, like a jazzy-reggae.

Dick sent me this great instrumental long ago, full of details and different sections. I was too busy then, now I've enjoyed working on it at last !!

Letra  / Translated Lyrics:

(Coro:  /  Choir)
De coger café yo vengo  /  From collecting coffee I come
A coger café voy  /  To collect coffee I go

(Solista:  /  Lead:)
Quisiera ver lo que no vi,  /  I’d like to see what I didn’t see,
quisiera ir donde no fui,  /  I’d like to go where I didn’t go,
quisiera hacer lo que nunca hice…  /  I’d like to do what I never did…
… pero veo lo que no se ve,  /  … but I can see what cannot be seen,
voy donde nadie nunca fue,  /  I go where no one ever went,
y hago lo que no hace usted. /  and I do what you don’t do.

This song is a tribute to beautiful lives cut short. Back in November 2022 last year three University of Virginia football players were shot and killed by a former teammate as they returned from a trip to see a play in Washington DC. It happens all too often in this country. These three were outstanding young men much loved and mourned by the community.

The amazing Ceci Wynans paid tribute in song at their memorial service:  https://youtu.be/VLA6biZDTx0

The art is a painting by D'Sean Perry, one of the three young men lost. 

This is song is sung from the imagined perspective of their parents.

Brother Gone

I still see a little boy running hiding from me and laughing then
I'd like to think that losing you had some higher reason in the end
but how can anyone know how hard it is to let you go

you were the one who always knew everything is in God's hands
but you're not here and it's so hard to understand

just look at all these people standing here
calling out your name
this would be the happiest day of my life if you were here by my side
instead all I've got is this heartbreak and pain

how was I to know it'd be the last time
that I'd see your shining face next to mine
they can take away the good years that should've been yours to claim
but they'll never take away the good man you became

I'll always see a little boy running hiding away from me
but this time you're not coming back
and I'm not sure how I'm ever gonna live with that

God I need some peace of mind
I hope that it isn't far away

Brother Gone

A bit of retro cool... I think I would have been happy back in the 1940's, playing in a baggy suit in smoky clubs...

What came first, the tree or the telegraph pole?
Either way, there was no foresight by those involved.

Letting Go * by Shekinah Fire

is tolerance something we need to learn or is it something that we had naturally and then lost along the way??
power/money drive common sense away and we have to keep reminding ourselves that there are many ways to live a life but the life needs/goals/purpose is always the same no matter how it comes dressed up.

lyrics

your fingers are tired from pointing at the others
your vocal cords are weak from all your shouting
your fists get cramps from all the clenching
your feet are sore from all the stomping
your brain is well rested as it's so seldom used
your ears are rested from their life long snooze
your eyes aren't tired cause you don't use them to see

you use all that energy but have nothing to show
but chaos and confusion in a deep dark hole
wake up your brain from its long long sleep
get your ears in tune to hear what you're shouting
open your eyes to see where you're pointing
put your feet up and think and stop all the stomping

you want to change the world?
you want to make it better?
then stop throwing stones and start listening to each other

there's only one golden rule
no matter where you stand
it is written in the Torah,b\Bible and Quran
tolerance not ignorance is the law of the land
treat your brother as yourself is the ONLY true command

to my left and right wing extremist friends( or wake up and smell the coffee please)

Welcome. I'm having a bit of fun experimenting with different music styles these days so there is quite a variety here - ambient, jazz, blues, rock and experimental... anything goes!

Hope you enjoy listening.

Cool It
