........................Lyrics & Translation to follow:................................................

Seufzer, Tränen, Kummer, Not,

Ängstlichs Sehnen, Furcht und Tod

Nagen mein beklemmtes Herz,

Ich empfinde Jammer, Schmerz.

Sighs, tears, anguish, trouble,

anxious longing, fear and death

gnaw at my constricted heart,

I experience misery, pain.

song by Jennifer Martin, "These Are The Days" is for me the perfectly-written song.....where mind, heart, and body all meet, as one. Recorded right after 9-1-1. Thanks to Jennifer for letting me 'borrow' the song. The message stands timeless.

"Simply By Osmosis" (Osiel), song originally from the album, "Strange Girl" (1995), Marianne Osiel does an acoustic-electric version, doing all of the parts instrumentally and vocally. Done in less than three hours during a class in recording engineering!

A "slightly different" version of two classics:

Help (Lennon, McCartney) - SOLO segueway...into...

I've Just Seen A Face (Lennon, McCartney, arr. Osiel) - with help from: Luther Rix, drums, and Takashi Otsuka, bass - 'LIVE' at Tallman Mountain Arts Concerts, Piermont, NY (2013)
