The Lonely Bird (El Ave Solitaria) Track

July 7, 2017: I have not produced any new track
for several months now with my energies, such as they are,
directed instead to #Resist efforts like writing myriad letters to
Congress and attending protest rallies. Then a few days ago, unbidden and out
of the blue, I thought on these two tunes from my youth and how
they might mash up well, both in melody and the loneliness themes
of both.
I had to search online a bit for a key match of "The Lonely Bull"
to "White Bird," but once I found that, the mashing up choices I
made here happened pretty quickly. If it hadn't come together as
easily, I likely would have scrapped the idea. Yet usually
unbidden inspiration is not to be ignored and for good reason.
Hope you enjoy and please seek out the original songs to hear the source material for
yourself.
Composer Credits: David & Linda LaFlamme's "White Bird" as
recorded by It's a Beautiful Day. Although Herb Alpert recorded
the famous version of Sol Lake's "The Lonely Bull" (El Toro Solitario), here it is
as performed by Doug Beaumier on laptop steel guitar.
