Lyrics
Lunar Eclipse

when the night begins to fold its arms
and the chill in the air has its way
i'm getting anxious to know
if you're ready to go
but i'm hoping you will stay

when the moon hides its face
it's dark maroon in outer space
if you think it's begun
in just a wink it's all undone

alley cat you follow me
so where you at? why can't i see?
every night you're on your feet
the same old sight a different street

when the night unfolds its hidden charms
and the chill in the air melts way
when the warm breezes blow
and we're getting to know
the lights across the bay

and the starlight shimmers in your eyes
with the milky way lighting the way
i suspect all this time
you've been reading my mind
there's nothing left to say

(c)2008 Bill Grundmann

posting problems??
under song Descriptions everything I try to type or edit after Smokey's song link will not post.
This masterpiece is written by Bill Grundmann & I don't know why Somkey is not at the song title as a collaborator. This second time I sang vocals I concentrated more on projection & vocal notation. If anyone has any suggestions on improving the vocals or mix ,,that would be appreciated. I hope you enjoy this revival as much as I do.

Ed,, You can't ask for a better back track to sing to. With Smokey's awesome production of song you can't go wrong. And remember if you head back to the Great NW there's an open door here bud.

Like Feter said: "gorgeous vibe."

The ol' mouth organ adds a nice dimension to this already fine composition.

Well done! Well done!

Take care!

The ol' mouth organ
The chromatic harps are more challenging to play for me,, while the diatonic harps are more intuitive
for me.. I'm glad I added the chromatic this time round. Thanks

Hey Bro, GREAT JOB!! Every time I hear this tune, I get that "alley cat" part stuck in my head for two weeks :-D

Great vocals, and as usual, the harp tones fit perfectly. And then of course there's Smokey's fantastic backing track to provide that awesome overall feel.

Great track guys!

Smooth as cream...
Nice venture into jazz land. How did you create the sound of the high background vocals? Whatever you did, it was *very* effective. I especially appreciate the harmonica. I love it when it's played as well as you played it.

Congratulations on this fine song.

TERRAPLANE said 213 days ago (April 25th, 2009)
High Vocals
were created by singing a higher pitch .. I,m not one for changing Vox pitch with software in any way.
Sometimes I do play a keyboard melody to help with my singing notation, then I remove the keys. I really don't play the Chromatic harp much at all. It's more challenging to play , but has a more sophisticated sound to me. I truly appreciate you comments.. Thanks Terry

Enjoyed the singing
but the harmonica is terrific as well ! Piano sounds very nice as well.

Almost reminds me a bit of the theme of Frazier especially with the city picture. Love that !
Thanks for sharing, nice choir jazz sound in the background.

Got me thinking about the classic scene with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman from Casablanca.

Great mood, and cool singing:) The harp tooting was a tasty treat!

A chromatic harmonica player. I always loved so much the sound of it - I'm an old fan of Toots. Hmmm, I'll have to send something your way for a collab one of these days. . .

Great song, arrangement and production. Thanks !

It fills the air, and I'm in a sentimental mood. Very nicely done. The fragile vox tracks have an almost indie quality to them. So nicely played.

Sure
I've been learning some James Cotton tunes & would love to do a blues shuffle ,,up-tempo or any blues!
I have been gravitating to the blues for the last couple of years.. I have many Guitar, Harmonica, BLUES books & courses,but currently don't seem to have the time or discipline.I'll be wearing my blues hat when the rains come 4 sure!!
