Song Notes and Lyrics:
This song imagines one of those occasions when you by chance find yourself in a place where there is some great live music that somehow just seems right.....
Lyrics:
Somewhere in New York City
Or was it down in New Orleans 
Could have been in San Francisco
Or maybe it was all a dream
I was walking by an old blues bar-room 
When I heard somebody playing with some style
So I bought myself an ice cold beer
And listened for a while

Looked like he’d lived a whole life-time
Beard gone silver grey
The people in the place seemed spellbound
Happy just to hear him play
At home on stage under the spotlight 
Keeping time with his heel on the floor
I bought myself another beer
I stayed and Iistened some more 

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

He played until the bar-room closed
Right sound right time right place
He walked off into the night
With his old leather guitar case
Never knew his name
Don’t even know if he still plays
But I’ll picture that stage and hear that sound
For the rest…of my days

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

Fine Silk Waistcoat

Cast of Characters:
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and rhythm guitar
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was released a few weeks ago as a mix that Stephen did. Tez, being the equally talented producer that he is, decided to make a mix that highlighted the interplay between the guitars and the keys. This mix is more focused on the instruments, while still giving Steve's vocals their due. 
  The song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 
  We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning.  
  We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lyrics:
I lost important pieces of myself
They wouldn't stay with me
They flew in all directions
But I think I know where they can be

Hey you! Can I get back my pieces
Why are they still with you?
Be sure, I will get them back
And hold them in place with glue

So, will you give them back?
Or else I don't know what to do
don't want my precious pieces
To be stuck with you

Hey you! Can I get back my pieces
Why are they still with you?
Be sure, I will get them back
And hold them in place with glue

Mmm, you've had them long enough
Its time to give them back
I need to finish my puzzle
With my pieces, where it is black

Hey you! Can I get back my pieces
Why are they still with you?
Be sure, I will get them back
And hold them in place with glue

Towering clouds. The edges of those clouds glow. My heart is at peace as I gaze at the clouds, which remain motionless forever.

Passage Four

Variation  1.2  -  For  John  Cage  -   Collaboration -  Ulrich Langenbach  and  Dror  Elimelech

Une sorte d'hymne à Blaise Cendrars, aux artistes en général, au rêves de voyage, à l'Ukraine libérée. Bien sûr c'est trop long, mais c'est un rêve, et dans un rêve, on ne commande rien, ni les images, ni la musique, ni la durée.
PAROLES
Aux aventuriers du rêve,
À ceux qui arpentent sans trêve
 Les territoires de la beauté
Avec Cendrars
Résonne toujours la voix de la petite Jeanne : 
« Blaise, dis-moi, sommes-nous loin de Montmartre ? »
 Et la statue aux yeux d’albâtre 
 Comment fait-elle ? comment fait-elle ?
Sa vie vibrante sous le plâtre,
 Sa main glissant sous l’oreiller
 Dans l’ombre bleue de l’atelier ? 
 Dis-moi Cendrars,
 Comment fait l’art ? 
 Et l’Or du Rhin ? et l’anneau d’or ?
 - Je n’en sais rien.
Au creux de tes reins je m’endors
Je m’endors.
Aux aventuriers du rêve,
A tous ceux qui arpentent sans trêve
Les territoires de la beauté,
 Qui y travaillent sans compter,
Tu leur envoies tes baisers,
Tes 400 coups, ton Pierrot le Fou.
Tout ce qui compte ne compte pas
Aux yeux des marchandes de sable ;
 Mais nous on garde vos trésors,
 L’enfance aux yeux d’or,
L’enfance aux yeux d’or.
Billes d’agathe, pêcheurs de perles,
Os de seiche, plumes de merle,
 Les 400 coups, Pierrot le Fou.
Dans le wagon Méliès,
 Il y a Narciso Yepes, 
Il joue à nos « Jeux Interdits » ;
 Moi je reste au pied du lit ;
Nous on s’en fout, dans le train, nous,
 On s’endort,
Le Transsibérien s’arrête à Kiev,
On le donne à l’Ukraine libérée,
 A tous nos rêves éveillés,
 A tous ceux qui arpentent sans trêve
 Les territoires de la beauté
Avec la voix de Jeanne !
 « Blaise, dis-moi, on est loin de Montmartre ? »
 Blaise, dis-moi, et la statue d’albâtre,
 Comment fait-elle ? comment fait-elle ?
La vie vibrante sous le plâtre,
 La main glissant sous l’oreiller,
 Dans l’ombre bleue de l’atelier ? 
 Comment fait-elle ?- Je n’en sais rien.
 Et dans le Transsibérien
 Au creux de tes reins,
 On s’endort.
 On rêve à l’oiseau rare
 À Blaise Cendrars 
‘Dis Blaise, sommes-nous loin de Montmartre ? »
