'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,

Antoinette plays keys, Anonymous plays drums, Evan is guitar left, Chris is guitar right (sorry I was a jerk and too loud) - This dates from 1977 when I was a classical major and Antoinette a piano major. Even though this improvisation was from…
This is some good fu-fu with good ju-ju.

Winter 1977 / 1978 - band is Clay percussion, Evan guitar and guitar pedals (synth sounds), Mike Barry piano, Mike Craddock bass, and Chris guitar (with echo / volume pedal)
This was the next to last jam of the night
Only just seen your reply on this one - about HAIM's version of the Fleetwood Mac song... I keep getting recommended it on youtube - I shall press play ..... WOW! The reason I keep getting recommended it is because I'm a big fan of Larkin Poe, have you heard of them? Check out their "Tip O the Hat" series of home vids - two sisters, lead and backing vox, six string and... a KILLER lap-steel player (thinking of getting one)(a lap-steel, not a Megan Lovell, she's already taken!)
wow---Darmok with hands held open.. :)
It could have a counterpoint track added from a synthesizer performance that could happen-- maybe using this work as part of the synth construction--???

Andrew, sorry - I wasn't even think of that even though I saw a live show video by HAIM where some young ladies from southern California ripped that cover song up! Worth a search!

So I put 77/78 together with the title "Oh Well" and came up with... "wow! they played that?... ummm... er... ok... when does the riff start then??" lol ... Once I got to the end, I realised it obviously wasn't ever going to burst into "I can't help about the shape I'm in / I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin"... So I went round again... and appreciated some very cool sounds. In fact, this is mighty cool.
Thank you Greg, Colleen, and Andrew for your comments. I need to add a little more from that day so long ago.
The Battle for Layfayette Square were improvisational warm ups and cool downs for practicing this progressive rock attempt that clocks…

My first acrostic prompt, requiring the word "Hope" to be spelled out by the first letter of the lines. Found in the chorus:
Hands don't fail me now
Oh, just a little tighter
Please hold on, hold on to

i wrote this in 81 originally called - battlecry. but i updated it to a sci fi type armageddon story. a video would have went well with this but, maybe some day. all explosions, firepower, helicopter sounds and all battle sounds did on keys…

A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
a song about an old flame that just won't burn out. it's a ballad of sorts, with a harder ending. i did this in about 7 hours. in the middle section i am playing guitar without a pick for the first time in a recording (big deal hey?)
A rubbish track by Tess got the Sandbags treatment here - the results only hold shades of the original. And it's just as well.

my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
nice stuff
And this gives me some release - but not loads! I was going to ask if it's an ebow, but it's not is it? Sounds like a real bow?
I find this one a slightly more challenging listen!
This one follows Hopey Changey really well
I listened to these the other day while I was doing something else... I forgot to come back and comment. This is a gorgeous sound.
love the groove, add some lyrics to this Chris!
Neat guitar sound.

This washes over you in a kind of all-enveloping way
yes very powerful music and lyrics.. can't quite hear the lyrics but I am glad you wrote them out the lyrics are the best I have seen ..-- wow
I thought I'd commented?! .... anyways, WOW that's a monster. I'll give it another listen over the next few days.
Was somebody listening to Can? ;)
Great interpretation! ( I have typed and erased several times and now . . . . I'll just leave it at that)
Comments made by vaisvil
great!!
very nice! A nice song and performance all the way around.
Pretty good - Rush has nothing on you! Of course we composed (but never performed) Singer's Overture quite some time before 2112....
I'm glad for the positive outcome. :-)
enjoyed this a lot!
what is the tuning? It has a nice feel to it. Sort of rag time floating in and out - is it 24 equal?
I love the backwardsness !!
lovely - you have such a talent for beauty!
I got an m-audio 88es - big brother - very good keyboard. This is a very nice piece - and the title theme is excellent~
excellent!! and I love the photo too!
that makes more sense...
yes, the bluesy part.
I saw autoharp and I had to listen. I really like this song. Very nice vibe to it.
enjoyed - like Kate Bush meets Tori Amos at Apex Twin's home studio.
well, Iceland is about half-way - I say we have an Alontone party in Reykjavík - perhaps we can get Bjork to join in!!
this is lovely - way way too short!!
excellent - never heard the original but I love what you've done here.
awesome!!
once again - simply beautiful!
beautiful!
