LYRICS BELOW
Here's another preview of the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album--something a little different--a rock song with a tuba solo! When I was recording this song with my Starfire XII electric 12 string, I just felt it was crying out for a tuba solo (which would be about the biggest possible contrast for the chime of a 12 string). Luckily, Ben Jaeger--the amazing guitarist for the Madison, Wisconsin, band Sunspot--is also a tuba virtuoso, and he agreed to take this on.
"L&C Eternally" is about Lonnie and Chloe, who grow up on adjacent farms in southern Wisconsin. (In fact, the whole new album is about them.)
The main guitar I play on this is my 1966 Guild Starfire XII, my choice for the best electric 12 ever built. With some fast-picking and palm-muting, it can make some unique sounds! The Starfire is helped by my Gretsch 2420 and my '78 Guild S-60.
(And, yes, that is me doing the really high backing vocals!)

“L & C Eternally”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

She wakes on a Sunday and she don’t know
if she wants to be a person dreaming.
She don’t want it and she don’t go
down to where all the folks are meeting.

She goes down to Lonnie’s farm,
wakes him with a soft punch on his arm
She smiles at him—is she in love?

He puts on the coffee and rubs his eyes,
tells her she’s a pain while he cooks the bacon.
She says cut the crap while she serves the eggs—
says they could be already out there fishing.

	He smothers her toast with strawberry jam,
	feeds her a morsel quick as he can.
	He smiles at her—is he in love?

They don’t take it all the way.
They don’t think about it anyway.
When they’re walking in the woods,
they know they’re living like they should.

Lonnie and Chloe are sitting in a tree—
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
That’s the jump-rope song they sang
playing in the schoolyard before the bell rang.
	“L & C Eternally”—
	that’s what Lonnie carved upon a tree,
	and Chloe said, “Now we’re in Love!”

Lyrics:

Its far too late to save the pane of glass 
that we have fallen through
The pieces flash as we break through
the sparkling light gets in my eyes
in my eyes
the pictures stick in my mind
in my mind

We twist and turn as we descend
to meet our imminent demise
The moments frozen there in time
seconds like hours in my mind
in my mind
the panic shows in my eyes
in my eyes

If only we could see another way
a different way
perhaps we wouldnt be so predictably
and comfortably out of time

And as we hit the ground
the wait to fade to black has reached its end
But from the black there comes a light
that flashes warmly in my eyes
in my eyes
the vision is warped in my mind
in my mind

Freefall

In My Eyes

Tropical flute-driven frenzy...
[2nd in a series of experiments with 150bpm tempo.]

What a joy it is to live in this modern world where one can reach part way around the globe to collaborate with a fellow musician whose work you admire. I've admired Dag Olav Hermundstad's music from the first time I listened. His music often calls one of my favorite albums to mind "Nilsson Sings Newman". The same sharp songwriting and wit combined with an unfailing pop sense. Although in Dag's case he contributes both. I'm sure most of you are well aware of Dag's music but let me recommend this personal favorite https://soundcloud.com/dag-olav-hermundstad/15-minutes-would-also-do

I Will Follow You (featuring Dag Olav Hermundstad)

I had the great privilege of working with and producing another Carlos Vivanco track. His musical prowess is astonishing to me. @carlosvivanco-1

In pursuit of novelty. /

In the distant Subert Humlin, Gory Rallagher, Sank Frinatra, and Dats Fomino Galaxies, Her Majesty's Royal Intergalactic Empire is under siege by the sinister Khazargonians and their elite squads of shock troopers- the Jearl Pamians and Goundsardenians. Her Majesty has commissioned an elite force led by her three of Her Majesty's Space Navy's finest officers with several primary objectives, chief among them was the following directive: to combine the great tones of surf and fifties rock... with disco!
These elite officers are:  Admiral Krank of the SS Belgrade (Guitar, bass, beats, intergalactic espionage and assassination by exploding cigars); and Captain Mirth of the SS Zagreb- (Guitar, piano, synth, beats, and advanced thermal detonation). And our very own clockwork man on the drums, Mo Sheen (https://soundcloud.com/user-424452711).  Unfortunately, despite bravely serving Her Majesty's Space Navy, Vice Commandant Dubois has been court martialed and convicted for conduct not befitting an officer and counterfeiting baseball cards, stripped of his command of the SS Budapest, and dishonorably discharged from Her Majesty's Space Navy, though certain recordings of his guitar, synth, bass, beats, and forward deployable laser blasters remain here memorialized for posterity. Let it be known that though he has sunk to the very depths of ignominy, we wish him well in his new venture, the Spandex Spanktroverse.
