Hi Twanna, thanks for comments. I love this track, your songs are touching, personal, beautiful and your voice is amazing. Your father is a true legend and it's wonderful you are keeping him alive through your music. I also am mad about in your words "Fonk". I was in love with Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson Five and then I heard Marvin Gaye and that was it...I've never been the same since. I remember dancing so much to Ike and Tina we had great times growing up with all that wonderful music. I got to see one of my fav bands last year Earth Wind and Fire, Philip Bailey is still incredible. I"m also a mad fan of Maxwell too gorgeous for words and Aretha Franklin, MJ Blige, Erykah Badu, etc etc,,, the list is too long. I hope you tour Australia...I"m still trying to get to the States and really want to go to New Orleans.
I hope to see you tour!!!

Hi Twanna

Knew I was going to love this piece, right from the moment it started,it was cemented when you started your vocal, such a stunning vocal girl, so much soul and feeling in it, prob you and AJ here are the most gifted artist here, when it comes to soul music,but as I have learnt over time, you do have great variety, with your vocal what you can deliver whatever the genre is, this track is testament to that...Amazing girl...totally amazing...Peace and much respect...Mosaic formly ELSD....

Thank you so much, my dear friend. My father's passing is a great loss to me. Even with his passing, there are a lot of people, who did not really know my father, continue to pass judgement on him based on a piece of fiction. That piece of "fiction", dressed up to look like "non-fiction", cost my father his career and eventually, his life. When your entire livelihood is predicated upon your acceptance and that is destroyed, you cease to exist. This is what happened to my father. He died long before he drew his last breath. His death was not due to another type of intoxication besides that of hate. Hate, which was beyond his control. So, it consumed him and he let go in order to be in peace.

I still carry a lot of pain, but with the Lord's healing salve, I keep pressing on.

Did not mean to ramble on, but thank you so much for your appreciation.

Have a wonderful and blessed day:)

Excellent track. Kinda sound like Ike. I saw Ike shortly before he died. He put on a great show. Great entertainer and musician.

What a powerful voice you have. Sorry to read that your father has passed away. My father died in december too, but in 2006. It wasn't happy holidays for me and my close relatives.

Twanna1 replied Unknown
Thank you for your condolences and I offer mine to you as well. What I have learned since my father's passing is that when our loved ones leave us here in this realm, they have just moved on to another phase of life. Just as being in the womb is one phase, being born is another, then leaving this body to go on to the next phase of living. This understanding has helped me tremendously, hope it does for your too.

God bless.

So, at this stage of my life there isn't a lot that leaves me speechless....

but this track has done exactly that. I'm seriously at a loss for words to describe this.

So I hope my standing and giving you a few minutes of applause will suffice.

WOW!!!!!!!

I had to download this one. Thank you for your generosity :)

Thank you Bear for you very kind words and appreciation. Creating music has always been an outlet for me to convey where I am at that time. I love your mantra "I only have one life, so what you see is what you get." That would have been a great one for my father to live by.

Thank you again.

Did you do all the instruments as well, what a sound on this track, and your vocals are amazing on this, really blown away by this one. Amazing x 10 going to fav this.

Twanna1 replied Unknown
Thank you so much, ImproveWithError. The apprecition means a lot to me. This song is very special to my heart being it was in reply to some pretty negative stuff being said about my father after his death. The music are loops I compiled to create the mood and house the vocals.

Thanx again and have a blessed week.

Description : Did you ever have those days when you are totally distracted? You find yourself switching from one thing to another due to overwhelm - say hallo to 'ADHD' But this time we could focus on the song and used some loops from Hysteria and Bigishi. And a big thanks to James who did help us with the guitars. (He was in the mood for blues :-) We are on Bandcamp as kayos2 Tell us what you think of this track....

Description : One another guy who ordered this track then didn't pay and doesn't respond to my messages.

Boogie crossover (its just a fragment), every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.

Almost 8 hours of work.

Description : so having been inspired by our girl Rita singing the blues I threw myself in and had a go, i went at it with full gusto, i think soul, blues are hard to hit because the singers always have fantastic voices lush females and deep soulfull males with great baratone vocals, i obviously don't have the greatest voice, but you gotta have belief in yourself first, yes i put emotion into my lyric delivery so this was a stretch, its less Teddy Swimms more dimestop sings :)) i'm sure you'll let me know

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

I really hope you will like the results of this attempt.

Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

The the pushed back guitar on the left is also run thru the mesa. My UNC chapel-hill decision letter is coming out tomorrow and I'm super stressed. Whipped out my guitar and recorded some stuff. Hope you like it.

I love Mike Dean

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : KesstA or "What's ur prob" Blues is an excuse for having fun recording several tracks of guitar and trying to make them sound alright all together. If it sounds a bit messy or jammy, well it's part of it.

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.
