Beautiful playing. Love the emotive, fluid quality of your playing.

adventuresome guitar work and harmonic progressions - reminds me a little of Metheny's beautiful playing

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

Inspired by M. John Harrison's Course of the Heart and the film A Dark Song.

First comes the rose and then the salt lines
I'll speak an angel's name; Raphael, Gabriel, Michael and Uriel
Asteraceae compositae, lay a bed of tree bark
A rose cross concealed, lay a leaf on a ram's horn

Next the carved rhymes which lead to a pause
From the darkness to the light
What was silent now is sound

Slowly light a ring of eight white candles
Hand clap to each point
Cinnamon on the floor, that sweet money spice
Relight the palo santo
Cast out with smoke
Cast out by command

Silence the conscious mind's derisive monologue of doubt
All the while keep breathing
What was hidden has been found

A Spiny Spur (Late Nite Tale)

She had read the ancient runes in the temple.. 
"FROM HIS KISS INTO HER VEINS,
THE POISON  WILL FLOW, 
AND WHILE HIS LOVE SHE DRINKS,
HER FATE SHE WILL MEET"..

Her eyes into his eyes, she drank his kiss as if it were wine.. 
And wrapped in his loving arms, she danced with Death..

Played/improvised live on Waldorf Blofeld, 
Oberheim MC2000 as master keyboard..
Fingers, heart and nerves..
But no foot on the sustain pedal..

ThP - Le Poison - 20-07-09 - Waldorf Blofeld

Distorted Bamboo Flutes' riff carrying through a swampy jazz funk thing with various noises off. Feeling the heat.

I should do more visual artworks but find myself playing the guitar instead .... basic influence and reason to buy a guitar many decades ago was english folk baroque style of Renbourn/Jansch. Actually met John Renbourn some years ago and he asked me why I didnt pick up my own folk tradition? ... yes why not... apart from that music is music.
