I'm very happy that Terry was inspired to lay down some improvised, free-style, clear-eyed observations on where the ? we're going : )to the tune of 'out there . . somewhere'. https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/out-there-somewhere

guitar by learningtoplay // beats, bass, free-style poetry & vocals by Terry Wigmore (improv transcript below)

I have half a mind to write something profound: something that would not easily be forgotten.
And then my thoughts run away with my logic 
Running to the extremes of existence, thoughts of the cosmological meaning of
a grain of sand, on a polluted beach, soon to be underwater, from global warming.
Temperatures rise, people's feeling's rise, dough rises, yeast...
Flat bread, Flat earth... how can we connect all these tings?
Line ups on the top of Mount Everest! Who would have thought that this would be a thing that you could see in a movie clip on the evening news? Breaking News! Mountaineers fall to their deaths waiting in line, through lack of oxygen. Maybe we should give a few politicians some lack of oxygen and see how they fall?! Too much air on the airwaves, not enough content. A million channels, high -speed delivery system...no one listening...no one cares.
Shoe-box size satellites, 60 of them released. Supposed to be putting the internet to every space available on the surface of the earth. Internet? How about food? How about clean water? How about a place to feel safe? How about a place of refuge for a refugee? A place of comfort for those who traveled and struggled all their lives, escaping one form of persecution only to fall to a legal entanglement that keeps them dying in cages. So much to ponder, so little time.
Life is full of these enigmas. Or is it that life is full of mystery wrapped in an enema?
A whole lot of house cleaning to be done.
What does it take? What would it take for us to to work together for once, just once? Solve the problem of , “I don't like you, but I'm willing to work with you?” “ I don't like your...thoughts, your clothes, the colour of your skin, the books you read, the celebrations you have,...but I'm willing to work with you...”
Because I don't need to be right, I just need to be free...free from HATE.

We all came from somewhere. We're all migrants from a place that we called home. Whatever that place looks like now, home is where the heart IS...where you feel connected! You might have been unplugged, perhaps forcefully unplugged, but you're here NOW. THIS is home! This is where we have to work together, to love, to live, and to build together, to Be Free...

Texte :
Refrain :
J’aime les Européennes,
Mais pas celles qui te trahissent dès les élections
Non, j’aime les Européennes
Plutôt celles qui savent éveiller des émotions
 
Oui j’aime les Européennes
Mais pas celles qui aboutissent à des déceptions
Non, j'aime les Européennes
Plutôt celles qui te provoquent des réactions


Couplet 1 :
J’aime les Autrichiennes et leurs longs cheveux d’or
Les danseuses madrilènes qui font bouger leurs corps
Les actrices italiennes à l’arrière des hors-bords
Brulantes et puritaines, Les filles venues du Nord

Couplet 2 :
J’aime les Parisiennes élégantes et blasées
Les Slaves au regard clair, froides et déterminées
Les princesses palatines à l’air un peu sévère
Les Méditerranéennes au tempérament fier


Pont :
J’aime, j’aime les Londonniennes
Les Armoricaines
Les Lusitaniennes
Les Poméraniennes
Les Transylvaniennes
Les Gréco-romaines
Les Lithuaniennes
Les Amalfitaines

Les Européennes

Like a lot of us these days, I have some extra hours on my hands. While looking to amuse myself at this most unamusing time, I made this. I hope it cheers you, too, and provides a few minutes pleasure. That is all it is for.

This music is also my version of whistling past the graveyard. One of many versions.

Please stay healthy. And let us be strong, and pick each other up when one of us is down.

"Sorry Excuse"

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I'm sorry I've been stuck in a rut
that's a sorry excuse for being out of touch
I've been fighting loneliness it sucks
that's a sorry excuse and I know it don't mean much

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I'm a sorry excuse and you're such a good friend
if you walked away I wouldn't blame you in the end
I'm a sorry excuse I wish I could amend
I promise I'll be in touch this weekend 

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

You deserve so much better than me
you don't have to open your eyes to see
that I'm a sorry excuse best to just let me be
I'm a sorry excuse, it's better 'you' not 'we'

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Sorry Excuse

Most of this piece was recorded in 2016 but I abandoned it until I decided to clean my computer files up recently. I added the vocals and a few horn samples to "finish" it off.
It's "sister" piece which takes the same bass loops, speeds them up and takes it all to a very different place can be listened to here:

The original spoken word sample is by "wjoojoo" and can be found here:

They Dug Everything Out Of The Earth

A song in a sort of instrumental rock-type of style, featuring a midsection in a very fast 7 time signature. Hope you enjoy!

This is the first upload of an album of songs in a jazz fusion and/or instrumental rock type of style.

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
