Yesterday afternoon, I received my copy of... The Stone Raft, the English translation of a novel by Portuguese writer José Saramago, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature in 1998. A Spanish-language film based on the book, La Balsa de Piedra, was released in 2002 by George Sluizer; see JMT intro above. This is a great JMT song... the lyrics of this song, represent well, the true genius JMT has with words! What absolutely great lyrics!
Draft arrangement of a favorite song.
Wurlitzer, Moog Model D, Banjo and some Rodney advice.
Thanks to Almut, Mars, Floss for vocal chorus help and Markus for the beautiful scratchy baroque violin.

I don't wanna go
down to the end of the rainbow.
I could say what I wanted to say now.

Of all the above.
Draft of first two sections...

There's no way out of here
that I can see.
There's no need to fight in here.
Nobody wins.
Why do you want it so bad?
Very cool. Whatever you are doing I want to do too. The blending of voice/words/instruments. Almost subliminal! Very dreamy. The way we actually hear the voices around us or even ourselves.

Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean

This started as a test for a removable piezo pickup I got for my baritone ukulele. I was using my current Pure Data looping and oscillator patch and continued layering 6 loops off my first test and got into the groove. I added in two oscillators…read more
Nice scratching till that subsides to clear water..
I am glad you were able to do something with the metronome beeping it’s something that I have difficulty with...

"We went away to find ourselves and came back to someone else." Great line. This track is not what I expect from you.
