The first collab between Chris Georgiou and myself. I wrote lyrics, sang, played acoustic guitar and some keys. Chris did the rest. My granddaughter Jocelynne Hunter did spoken parts.
The song was a reaction to the nightly terrorism/war reports in contrast to the sense of hope I felt with the response in France. This is a Pink Floyd/Genesis type epic piece best heard with headphones. We hope you enjoy!
yup thats right ,,,i wont and will not conform to what people expect of a track ...so basically it wont be a 3 min ,verse ,chorus ,,blah,blah,thing ,,,if i want the sound of a dripping tap as my percussion then its in ,,,if i think a tune needs to be 4 days 2 hours 32 minutes and 4 seconds long ,,,then by god and all his appropriates it will be ,,,its not that i cant do the generic formulaic montage ...i just choose not to ,,,im aware that my approach will put people off ,,,but if we all fell into the safe haven that is commerciallity then wouldlnt the music world be a bland place to co-exist in ,,oh hang on the commercial music world is a bland place to be in hence bright light in the the dark cavenous outreaches of musical space that is mixposure 
...god what a plug !!! :D anyways ,,im gonna continue to produce 10 minute epic stuff full of epicness and if you dont like my stuff ,you can all sod off :D ,,,have a nice one !!! lol
Ya know, I know I could be more actve but I try to stay intuned. The site is so huge, thank goodness!!!. It seems overwhelming. But in reality, it really isn't. Just the opposite in fact. I love all the talent and sometimes I listen without commenting. I'm hoping the same is done with my music, but not all the time.. I love feedback! I just want to let everyone know, it's okay to just listen. Just every now and then. leave a note. You know you like it. So do I. So I do it when the mood strikes. I have a couple of other sites that I'm involved with. One of which demands my attention, But I feel this site is doing well and that makes me feel so good and less guilty when I'm knee deep somewhere else. I love Mixposure and you have let me know I'm appreciated and then some... More reason to please you. It's the way I want to be treated. We'll all be so much more inclined to take part without fear of rejection when we get feedback. You get what you give. So give. Even if it's one comment a week. It adds up and makes my day when I get a thumbs up or needed help. it will make your day too.

Musical Inspiration and Joy. . A personal Experience
By David c Deal
In about 2005 the band I had been in, called “One of These Daze”, ended in that painful way such bands often do. I suddenly found myself without musical direction and found myself brainstorming for direction with two musician friends, Tim and Andy. Suddenly inspiration hit, “I’ll make a cd which reflects all of the spiritual experiences I have had in my life. No religion, just pure experiences.”
At that moment a four year journey began which consumed my non working hours. Often I have taken part in long discussions about where artistic and in particular musical inspiration germinates. I mostly rely on the explanation provided by Victor Wooten in his marvelous book, “The Music Lesson”. He labels the source of creative musical energy as “Music” with a capital M, treating Music as an active, conscious spirit behind all true musical expression. As I look back at that era between 2005 and 2009 I can now perceive how I was indeed the fortunate recipient of “Music’s” energy, direction, motivation and blessed possession.
During those years, one by one, I was provided with the musical seeds of what became the various songs on the CD Transformations. My constant effort in writing these songs, practicing them, learning how to record at a new home studio was not experienced as effort but as intense, concentrated joy. When working on a song I would think, “Tom’s guitar style would be great on this, or Cynthia’s voice would sound great on this” and one by one musicians of the finest quality would record their inspirations at my asking. Never did a single musician refuse a request to add to any of the songs on the CD and not once did any of their contributions not fit beautifully. Fourteen different musicians participated. A young artist/musician friend volunteered to design the CD cover which I swear is truly a work of art. A local musician/studio owner recorded three of the songs at no charge and mentored my efforts to learn how to record in my newly created home studio. Now that I look back I am aware how “Music” was actively shaping not just me but all of these other musicians and artists.
I followed publication of the CD by earnestly learning about record labels, publicity, internet publication, ASCH, copyright laws, “song shoppers” and discovered that marketing a CD is not nearly as enjoyable as creating such a project.
I am now aware that “Music” has withdrawn a large percentage of the inspiration which flowed through my being during those years. She still periodically uses my limited talents in writing, performing, collaborative creation and/or in the production of individual songs and when she does I feel my musically driven soul again burst into focused light. I am blessed and extremely grateful for her inspiration both in the past and the present. In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude at being a “conduit” along with so many old and new friends; for being a shared recipient of Music’s inspirational energy.
Pleased to announce the release of our latest song, "Short-term Fantasy", a real life story about two people meeting in a bar from our album, "A Reason to Walk in the Rain". Hope all of you enjoy it. Music, lyrics, performance and production by Bill Thompson Check it out on our artist page.
I uploaded a new song called "Cry In The Night". Please give it a listen if you get a chance.
