Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Throw Back Thursday! In this instance, my throw backs are in the form of songs… hope this is acceptable! If you enjoy, please share! Thank you! Thank you to all who came to the recent video webcast!
This is a clip from my part of NuMuBu’s new programming Tuesdays for SONGWRITERS, a weekly live video webcast series featuring independent artists dedicated to the art and craft of songwriting.
For this half hour set, I discussed and performed rearranged versions of songs and recordings taken from some of my past album projects, including three solo and one band project. The songs are as follows, plus some chat about Junkk. I have edited out some of the chatter…
- Number on His Brow
from Binary Star 1997 Debut release (World Music, New Age, Folk/Pop, Dance)
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/binary-star/id30942018
The song was written about the plight of displaced children in a war torn country. Rescue workers marked their foreheads with numbers in order to identify each child. Some dependents in first world countries may metaphorically experience this as their care givers are too busy with their own lives… Illusive Dream
from Let The Phoenix Fly 2013 3rd solo release (Acoustic, Piano, MOR, Adult Contemporary, Jazz)
