Beauty and artistic taste is clear to everyone and eternal, although it does not save the world.

A Late Walk
Robert Frost
When I go up through the mowing field,
The headless aftermath,
Smooth-laid like thatch with the heavy dew…
My wife said this sounded like a level of a video game where you are racing down endless pews of a church. You know, a pew level.
Another in the slow motion bach series, this time paired with the tart frenetic flavor of 90s breaks…
Dear Sudara,
Thank you for your tireless work enabling musicians throughout the world share music in a safe environment. Forget Soundcloud, this is my favourite home, and I am forever grateful. Tiggy Acworth
nice.. don't lose that embouchure, I have lost mine. I am not willing to put the time in again to get it back.. since I have had a trombone again..--- you know it is not that I can't play the trombone .. it is that the sound is not like that of someone playing with an.. embouchure -- nice whisper like effects toward the end..
Man, you're on a roll... Loved it. Steak and Texas Blues... I'm there. And I thought Kansas was just where Rainbow came from... or was was it Dorothy... or... or...

You divide and conquer
While there is fear and hunger
You play a dangerous game
But you won't take any blame
Your're a cheat and…

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
We wrote and recorded a new song while we are all on lock down...have really missed playing with the band. Lindy wrote the song and recorded his part at his home studio sent it to me and I added my parts and vocals Our studio is behind Ken's house…

Here's the very latest from the broom-cupboard.
I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago.

There isn’t much time to get this out
You won’t hear me if I have to…
Thanks for your comments on my latest... I agree with you... some things we’ve changed during this time would be best if we adopted them forever. I don’t think I can ever drive in bumper to bumper traffic ever again... virtual hugs to you and yours. Thanks for listening!!
A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! 😆

A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray

Your stuff is making me re-evaluate 70-80s keyboard sounds. At the time I loathed what I regarded as "keyboard heavy" bands. I liked piano and organ, and I was a huge fan of Queen and their earlier "no synthesizers" approach. You're making some cool sounds, though, pleasantly reminding me of stuff that must have seeped into my subconscious like it or not! :)

Now I’m hungry. You have some nice licks here.
Liking the driving feel in the synth and the whole piratical tension (or is that just me?)
Utterly stunning..! Beauty and art won't save the world but they'll make it a better place while we destroy it.

rather long but well worth the listen the sounds are new and old going on in a wild mix that I like ..--
hmmmm..... I know someone like this.... lots of orange makeup.... Good song! Truer words never spoken.
Nice groove and interesting message
How many times can I “Favorite” this? Outstanding dual effort! Excellent message on top of an outstanding track.
Had to come back for another dip in the pool.... still awesome!
Love this! Boiling with energy!! Just what the doctor ordered indeed

Thanks, everybody
That’s so kind @andrew! I’m not a keyboard player (Bass is the instrument I started to learn 9 years ago) but synths are so cool to experiment with!
Wow. Love it.
Great track Steve and Colleen.....love your voice as always Colleen....
Oh yeah, faved from the outset. "he rollllled his eyes" - loved the delivery of that line.
