One of my favourite tracks - very very nice rendition Annette - takes me back to a time - cheers Mark :)

Great rendition of this all-time classic, Annette. You should do more Bacharach and David. Super track.

Wonderful vocals, Annette. A warm and soothing rendition of this great classic.

Ohh melting, so wonderfull ✨️⭐️💫

OMG! This was one of my Mom's favorite songs! And, when she sang it in the kitchen, when I was a kid...I became hooked on it & the feeling!  WOW!  Burt Bacharach tops the sonic cake & probably caused a lot of wedding bells to ring as well! Ooh...What this song does to me--Second best to a man's hand with a soft touch! :D  Forever intoxicating! 💘♾🔝🙌🏻🤩

This one being inspired by a couple of guys that I've admired since the early 70's. Their lyrics and detail to production always caught my attention. A salute to Walter and Donald.

I must plead  'nolo contendere'.
Just couldn't help mySelf.
  It came out of an Improvisation
   and became an earworm. 
    Had to post it!  :-D
   
       
         May you InJOY.

Une Idée Fixe

After our first collaboration https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/an-angel-passed-by-tom-regnier-and-mark-j-bennett-1 I was pleased when Tom https://soundcloud.com/tom-r-gnier offered me a wonderful piece (with the same title) to make into a song. He suggested that I didn't think too much about the meaning, just about the feeling. This was good advice as it almost wrote itself, based around almost rhymes of the word 'deposit'. Once we had the basis it made perfect sense to invite Jussi https://soundcloud.com/juswel to add some great guitar throughout. I owe a huge thank you to Tom and Jussi for this opportunity.
Hope you enjoy our song, thanks for listening.

I need a soul deposit,
Some joy inside my wallet.		
Life’s gonna get good for me!

I know joy’s here because it’s
Gonna flow just like a faucet.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Don’t need to write a sonnet,
It’s happenin’, an’ I ain’t no prophet.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Heart’s locked up in a locket,
Don’t care, if I’m bein’ honest
Life’s gonna get good for me!

I need a soul deposit,
A little joy inside my pocket.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Gonna get good,
Gonna get good,
Right here, 
Somethin’s happenin’

Not too big on on the festive season but I know two people who get so excited their feet just leave the floor. This is track is for anyone who shares that sentiment. Happy holidays 🌲🎄🎄

Ye ha, ye ho
Sleigh is loaded, time to go
I’m just hopin’
Santa put my present in
Not there? Not fair! 
That’s a joke, get outa here             
It’s there, oh yeah        
Watch me smile from ear to ear
     
Ye-ha, whoop whoop, big grin
Santa’s flying in
I love this dude, I love this day      
It rings my ding-a- ling          

Oh no, let’s go, 
I’m sure I heard a ‘yo-ho-ho’
I did, for sure
Someone’s knockin at the door
Oh yeah, whoop, whoop
Cotton beard and big black boots
Hot dam, p’zam
I love you Santa you’re my man

Ye-ha, whoop whoop, big grin
Santa’s flying in
I love this dude, I love this day
It’s rings my din-a-ling  

Oh gosh, oh gee
What’s underneath that Christmas tree
Gad zooks, wowzee
All those presents just for me
They’re not? Oh no!  
Which one’s mine, I need to know
That one, for sure
I think my feet just left the floor	 

Ye-ha, whoop whoop, big grin
Santa’s flying in
I love this dude, I love this day
It’s rings my din-a-ling

Ye-hah Whoop Whoop Big Grin

Ye - Ha Whoop Whoop Big Grin

Here is a little ditty for ya!

Song by Eric Feltham

Lyrics:
Set out in the forest for a morning walk met a man on a stump and we had a talk
He said Ive been here since there were no trees now go away son and leave me be

He said

I can’t understand a word you say don’t go drifting out of your lane
Come back when you’ve found your way you can't keep cutting against the grain

I then met a man by the waterfall the plaque on the wall said he knew it all
He said ive talked to many people in my life listen to me son and take my advice

He said

I can’t understand a word you say don’t go drifting out of your lane
Come back when you’ve found your way you can't keep cutting against the grain

Against The Grain

TONES OF STEEL

This is the first time I have recorded a duo acoustic instrumental with my old but solid and trustworthy steel string guitar. I bought it from a friend in the eighties. At that time I was really expanding my guitar skills into different musical iterations of the guitar, and specifically American Folk with its fast finger picking styles. Leo Kottke specifically. 

Although, back then, as a teenager, I already knew the instrument from the music of Al Dimeola. The steel string guitar wonderfully brigdes a gap between the nylon string classical or acoustic guitar and the electric guitar, having the longer sustain and ringing tone of the electric with its steel/nickel wound strings but the dynamics and woody sounding acoustic properties of the nylon.

The style here is my blend of fusion, blues , rock, classical and maybe some latin. As usual I center this around some pre-conceived chord progressions, melodies and allow improvisation to explore more tonalities and directions.

As always I really enjoy your comments, likes and shares!

I am a singer songwriter producer from the North West in the  UK.....I love Jazz and Soul...in fact  all music brings me joy!, My music has had mainstream play on The BBC music app  on The Sun Lounge  show with Adam Dunning and BBC introducing  in Manchester with “ Roesh”  Jazz FM Curved Radio in Australia  and  KJazz radio UK . Please go over and  listen to my music on  Spotify.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
