Brilliant show tonight.

So here is a song I guarantee none of you have ever head.

It's called Mr Herbman. It was recorded in the liiving room of my flat. I did the drum intro and some other bits



hey mr herbman, brew me up some tea
mix your special blend, then share your company
tell me of your life, the secrets of your soul
to me you are a prophet, one who cannot, grow old

mr herbman, your life's a symphony
mr herbman, your life of harmony
yeah
i wanna know
yeah
i wanna know
(den e said) now you sit and li-sten
for the words here now to grow

mr herbman say

[chorus]
the years they come
the years they pass
slow one now
will later on be fast
it's a long way up
for a short fall down
gotta keep your eyes wide open
and you feet upon the ground

hear me know
i said this
i said that
mr herbman, yeah

he who's never travelled
is he who'll never know
that the start of each new journey
is like start of each new show
every time they listen
every time thay dance
i must say a prayer of thankyou
for being given, the chance

mr herbman, your life's a symphony
mr herbman, your life of harmony
yeah
i wanna know
yeah
i wanna know
(then e said) now you sit and listen
for the words here now to grow

❤️ made me smile that did James Freeman

That was really good and a very impressive drum intro....let us know if you start you world tour....

1974, LA and loaded yes loaded.

Thanks for that blast from the past Hazel. Paul Weller and that mod/cool/early hipster? thing he had going on...

A1971 classic. We all had a memory of this, loaded.......yes loaded.

Had to put his here, sent to me by Belgian practivist Emilie P, new hepster song

Late 1976-77 classic. I love the older stuff as that is where my mind stays. There is nothing better than the memories of yesteryear....

Note: The smell of cloitas = Mexican slang for buds of Mary Jane




On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'!

Guitar solo:

The late 1960's to the late 1970's produced some lasting musical impressions on people who still live in those times, at least in memory.
Freebird, strong guitar solo and lyrics....

I miss you Mom....may you rest now you've had a long journey.
I love you and will do the best I can.
Your son.

Hi Sven,

This is a beautiful song to dedicate to your mother. I lost my mother 33 years ago and not a day go by that I don't miss her. They are irreplaceable.

I am also a mother of two sons and these are the simple things I wish for them.

Damn! So very sorry to learn of your loss, brother.

Love that song.

Thanks Sven.
