An abuse of Brian Bazeley's Keeping the Peace by Norm Harris and myself.

tuning: standard lyrics: i woke up this morning, and wanted to go back up for breath. intoxicated epiphanies, late nights, then lonely bed. regurgitation of all the day's long hard thoughts. then comforting silence in not having to think…

i should rename this track... there. it became the sound track to a short film i produced called "Ztileeb". a film i'd be happy to share with anyone should they wish to see it. i've often used self recorded ambient sounds in my tracks. this…

This is a re-do of the piano groove track from July 8. I've added a breakdown and a B part and for the most part, I'm pleased.

wow, 10 days!! I legit can't believe it...

(written for BC) This full moon. Loving respect, kindness, and a great spiritual power came up in one of my readings this morning. I'm grateful for that being present.

Reg has been reading the papers today and it seems like utter chaos out there since the circus came to town ...... and the world will never be the same again..... Nothing will ever be the same again The circus came to town today…

patience. practice. review. repeat.

Drums, guitar, bass, Microfreak set to say "Meow" through a bunch of pedals.

(written for BC) Been a reflective and challenging couple of days. Pushing myself, balancing, grounding. Rinse and repeat. I appreciate the very supportive person in my sphere right now. Close your eyes. Feel the ocean's healing through this…

I AM Alone Chorus: Eternal Father, King of glory, Ever reigning from above! Forgive me, Lord, I once was blind, That I dared speak their names with Yours. You are I AM—the fire, the storm, The Shepherd, Lion, and the Dove. From everlasting…

Even in the struggle, we see affirmations.

a tribue to one of my favorite melodies. do you know it?

Two passes at a melody in Am, both duplicated, moved down a second interval and reversed. Hmmmm.

Anticlimactic jam in a time signature not yet known to man. Maybe 6/8
