This is a remake of Samba do Bonde, now with portuguese lyrics. A loose translation below:
Priviledge, the two of us here
to sit, converse, to feel
the warmth of friendship
always too brief
just a give and take between immortals

something which draws me as it were homeward. A son…

Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…

Filho Sumido is portuguese for "Lost Son".
Its my little bossa way of describing what its like to be away from the place I love, Brazil. Like a lost son. Someday I may make an english version - but then, maybe not. After all, its about Brazil…

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

Close your eyes, and come with me. It is a warm Autumn eve in the Black Forest. There are ancient folk tales about this magical wood... how late at night it comes to life with mischievious fairies and wood nymphs. Any mortal who hears the unusual…

Valeu Dave, muito bonita, mas dá mais saudades. Laerte
Yahondu = “old man” in Mamainde, a small Brazilian indian language.
This is an acoustic mix of stuff, a little bossa, a little blues, nothing fancy. It’s just me enjoying myself, and expressing some of my ‘saudades’ (longings) for the people and places I care most about. (Including Brazil, where I have spent the past 20 years.)
I also enjoy languages, so you will hear lots of Portuguese and even a verse or two in Mamainde.
Hope you enjoy something here.
