authentic guitar with just the right amount of effects.

Yes..!! Soooo good.!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👌👌👌

Was playing around with some chords and was stuck for inspiration on a theme. My 9 year old wandered into the "studio" (spare room) so I said give me a title for a song. He told me he had only come in to say he was "missing pieces" of lego. So I said Missing Pieces will be the title and it grew from there 😃
I asked my good buddy Johnny from No Killie Fish to lay some of his awesome guitar lines for the lead guitar and I think it has really added some flavor to the track and the solo is killer!! He is an exceptional player and an even better person, check out his page at https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2

Missing Pieces (with Johnny McFarlane)

With Pat's passing, I wanted to post this version of Ode with us doing a little brainstorming on the creation of the song. 
I witnessed a miracle--at least I would call it that.  A beloved rose that was a regular bloomer(pictured) fell victim to the incredibly harsh cold spell we had in February of 2021.  By April when the rest of the roses were waking up, this one had not a sign of life in it, just a brown stump.  I watered, and fed, and waited, and waited.  Nothing.  I dug out the stump.   For Mothers' Day my daughter had bought a rose to replace the one that had perished...or so I thought.  Within a week of planting the new one, the old one put out a shoot just a foot away.  I guess the digging, watering, etc for the new rose stimulated some remaining root of the old.  It has since received lots of love and care, and has at least a half-dozen buds ready to bloom in a couple of weeks.  So this is an ode; to a beloved rose and all things miraculous.  
Special thanks to Pat Howell for the initial inspiration and his fine musicianship and sweet additions with mandolin and octave.  Please check out his page for more fine music @patrick-howell-786748109

He’s a sweet street sweeper
He’s got a thing for a fairground ride
On the bull or on the bumper
He’s the best there ever to ride

(x4) He’s a sweet street sweeper

Bugger you! You were not there
You didn’t see it
You were not there
Bugger you! You were not there
You didn’t see what happened
You weren’t there

Sweet street
Sweet street sweeper

(x2) Oh, no!
Pick it up
Throw it out
Pick it up again

(x2) Yes, he’s beautiful
& there’s nothing you can say that can take that away.

(x2) Ooh, I’ll take that away
Nothing can take that

Sweet Street Sweeper (with Mark Duffield)

Calling Card

So want to see your calling card 
Your calling card for me
So want to see your calling card
Your calling card to me
Your calling card to me

I gotta see your calling card 
I know you’re saving one for me 
Funny names 
Playing games 
Singing Lovely Rita 
Muddy paws 
Starting wars
Living the dolce vita

I gotta see your calling card
Your calling card for me

You buried me under the old oak tree
In the corner of the cemetery
I got to go where the wind takes me
But someday I'll call by...

Calling Card

Rambling on my mind

Original Composition / Performance / Production : Bonetender  https://soundcloud.com/bonetender
Lyrics / Vox / Mastering : Chris Dargay

If You Wanna ... *ft Bonetender

On the guitar, in the intro, Dan Blackard used his Gibson Les Paul. On the break solo, he used his "high action" Fender Squire for the slide.  This is a bit of an Orwellian song. 

Lyrics;

I'm only happy in this place
When I can see your face
You're like a holiday

The music playing on
But they play that same old song
Just in different ways

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
Never thinking what you're speaking
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Never finding what you're seeking

Third ring in the Circus
Big top always wants work us
And they're screaming like berserkers
The flipside of the flipside of the flipside of the flipped

In the cages with the beasts
Man, they never give us peace
The clowns in on the fleece
Tripping on the tripping on the tripping on the tripped

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
A finger points in your direction
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Open your mind for their inspection


The big wheel for the  run around
Like a rat we chase the bait
We know where this train is bound
Our sanity's the freight



I'm only happy in this place
When I see your face
It's like the flowers in the spring

They changed the lyrics of the song
Just like bees we buzz along
No one knows what to sing

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
Never thinking what you're speaking
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Never finding what they're seeking


Crazy Town
For crying out loud
A neverending runaround
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Down down down down

Crazy Town

Give it Up (Badass)

YouTube

Give it Up (Badass) - with REKHA and Jeff Roberts

I'm walking  down to McDonalds
And that's all I'm going to do today
I guess that I'm not moving on
From our moving on
The poet he dies of a thousand paper cuts every day
So I'll say
It's been a pleasure to be with you
In this space and time
And when your telephone it doesn't ring
And when your doorbell it doesn't chime
It's me

I went to the hypnotist
To try to make some kind of sense of this
He snaps his fingers
He goes 1,2,3
I let that hippy girl read my tea leaves
I don't want to, but I have to believe
And when your telephone doesn't chime
And when you feel that California sunshine
It's me

This poet, he see a little less beauty every day
I walk past the coffee shop
Past the Stop N' Shop
Past the parking lot
With that Polish Bar, where we used to go
When your telephone it doesn't ring
And when you're craving Gin & Grenadine 
It's me

It's been a pleasure 
To have someone like you in my life
And when your telephone it doesn't ring
And when you find out who was to blame for everything
It's me

When Your Phone Doesn't Ring (It's Me)

Something to relax to or maybe cook to, your choice. Enjoy my friends.
