The last month or so has not been the best: in terms of my health. Mainly UTIs and knee and leg pains. Despite the fact that chronic pain brings down a wet blanket of despondency I have felt the curative effect of you good folk’s prayers. Any road up – the sum result of this has been a struggle to keep up with things and maintain a good self esteem and self belief. I’m forgetting things like hospital appointments and finding it difficult to sort out things. Also – I can’t cope well with making arrangements – I need some help! No harm in that!
However – I can still get my head round Logic ProX – (WordPress still provides unsurmountables!!)and Mr Sparkler is still hitting the spot – although the bar is set fairly low (he’d be in trouble if he was a Limbo Dancer!! I have a project of original songs in the Hard Drive – but have found inspiration and artistic motivation rather thin on the ground. So the answer was to cover a few old and new worship songs and bash down a vocal track on my original “Up to my Neck”. So I’m fairly pleased with the results – so I thought I’d share them with you.
Four tracks all in one four track EP. It’s in MP3 format – to keep streaming and webspace on the minimum. I offer you “All Saints’ Day” in a rather basic form.
Please listen or ignore as you wish – I’m happy with your choice. There’s a form you can complete if you so wish to subscribe to future releases..
The tracks are:-
1: 00:00 – Good, Good Father :Chris Tomlin
2: 03:26 – Goodness of God: Bethel Music
3: 06:56 – Up to my Neck (In deep, muddy water): Roger Huxley
4: 10:40 – His Eye is on the Sparrow: (Civilla D. Martin and composer Charles H. Gabriel arr Mr Sparkler!
Guitars (acoustic & Electric), Ukulele, Bass Guitar, Organ: RMH, Drums programmed: RMH, all recording, editing and mixing: RMH. “Up to my Neck”: featuring Alan Doherty on Lead Acoustic Guitar.
The Higher Quality individual tracks will available on Mr Sparkler’s Creative site in a day or two. Originals will likely appear on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music in due course – well before my DistroKid account expires! I did think of videos to accompany them – but that will be another distraction!!!
From now on – no more distractions – the 2023 Album won’t write, record and edit itself! It is planned as mostly originals with a few covers.
Keep the faith, keep well and keep strumming (or whatever floats your boat.)
Your ole buddy,
Roger
