Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday so wishing all the fathers out there a wonderful day. I’ve got this “gig” that keeps me busy 24/7 so I haven’t time to either paint or compose music, hence very few posts. But Father’s Day can’t be missed. Once again this was a collaboration with the wonderful American photographer, writer and artist, Marilyn Armstrong.

Mother’s Waltz by swo8 Blues Jazz
Feeling a little better today. Spent some time working in the garden. Decided to post this for Mother’s Day. Wishing all the mothers out there a joyful moment. Thanks again to the wonderful writer, photographer and now, artist, Marilyn Armstrong for this delightful collaboration.
I’m sick so that’s why I haven’t been posting.
Mumbai by swo8 Blues Jazz from the album Black Taj in iTunes
Time to travel, if one could, to Mumbai before it gets too hot. BTW, I believe the dancers are from Tunisia.
Kool Man by swo8 Blues Jazz from the album Osaka Time on iTunes
I’ve composed over 85 songs and published 8 albums. This is the one song that gets the most plays from streaming each month. I can understand why, the Kool man is my favourite guy too.

The Senator’s Blues by swo8 Blues Jazz
I don’t know whether you’ve heard about our Trucker’s Protest but we’re having a few problems in the land of the “not so free”. Our Prime Minister froze the bank accounts of anyone who contributed money to the protest. This is a sweeping, unprecedented move with some unintended consequences. Some people weren’t able to pay their mortgages and other bills, but what was even worse – there was a run on the banks because a lot of people were afraid of being targeted by a rather vindictive government that would use such force on anyone not buying into the party line. I have to give some of our Senators credit because they never would have passed this resolution by Trudeau. Thank you, although there are some bad apples among you, now I know there are still some good people out there.
Midnight in Manaus by swo8 Blues Jazz from the album Where The Two Rivers Meet in iTunes
I’m feeling like a little escape is in order. So what better place than in the heart of the Amazon. That would be in the city of Manaus. It is so remote that the only was to get there is by boat or air yet it has so many amenities such as a magnificent Opera House.

Whip Poor Will Blues by swo8 Blues Jazz from the album Sahara Rose in iTunes
It’s the first day of Spring and you can really tell by the lovely weather. The crocuses are poking up through the soil and the other spring bulbs are also in view. The other thing that is so remarkable is the the birds are so happy.
