the ending is exceptionally great. wish I could play like that

fantastic groove to this one, sick guitar and piano work, has an amazingly organic sound and a wonderful ambience in the mood of the recording ! - some great instrument delivery and beautiful guitar licks !  loving the bass too !

cool track. jazzy and most important these days... - sound "natural" - real music :-)

So groooovy !!! It sounds like pub have to close and customers looking for a place to continue the party.  A kind of invitation to road movie

The talent is obvious, the interactions are fun and engaging

If Only

Sweetness

I Sat Down By The River

I sat down by the river
On a - somewhat - sunny day
I watched the golden leaves
As they floated away

I sat down by the river
On that autumn day
I looked at the city behind me
It had nothing more to say

I sat down by the river
With a dream to go away
Leaving life as I knew it
Knowing bloody well that I would stay

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I sat down by the river
On that fateful day
And for every choice I ever made
There was a price to pay

When I sat down by the river
A pretty flower spoke to me
I didn't know the language
So the message was a mystery

I sat down by the river
There were birds in the sky
I wonder when life begins
As the years are passing by

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I Sat Down By The River [an original song]

Fun Facts:
* George had made friends with a Hungarian man called Floyd who showed him a new chord from a Portuguese sea shanty.
* The mystery chord is Bm11b5.
* It is played by holding the A and G strings on the second fret with the first and second fingers, and the D and B strings on the third fret using the third and fourth fingers, with the hi-E open and the lo-E muted.
* The other two chords in the song were A minor and E.
* When George was headhunted by the MD of the company Floyd worked for, Floyd gave him a copy of Mario Puzzo’s book The Godfather, and wrote ‘Welcome to the family!’ inside the front cover.
* Obviously this piece could have no other name.
* Welcome to the Family is in the key of A minor.
* The tempo for this tune is 98.0035 BPM.
* Emma recorded an extra part on the keys that was not used in the end.
* The Stratocaster enters to play rhythm on the second verse.
* The Ice Maiden takes the twin lead parts at the end.
* Some trombone was also planned, but there were no players around at the time, so the final mix remains without it.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
