A mish mash of Acoustic and rock.
Looking to renew skills and fun. Mostly fun. Walkin' with pygmies across the ocean is a goal for the near future. Well we got to spend a few hours whilst down under with renewing friendship and cultivating creative juices. Luverly! Great to also havealong to add guitars, uke and a bald head. Overall a wonderful arvo.

Story behind the song
Awesome lyrics from Ray Cochrane that lent itself to a "country" treatment. All instruments by Eric except some uke by sit in buddy Dean Shelton. Drums by Garage Band. Thanks to Dean for the loaner Gibson J200 for the cave session. Micing and mixing by Ray. Might get a revisit in time to finish some rough edges, but its time to share. Here it is. Enjoy :)
Lyrics
Cannon Fodder Cochrane Now Kane said unto Able Hey come out to the stable There’s something there you need to see. So they walked out together Just talkin’ ‘bout the weather Just one was coming home for tea. The lessons that they teach us Is goodness will not reach us And if it does it matters not ‘Cause the power that will be Calls the shots and it is we Who are canon fodder for the plot. Lot said unto his missus Forget about the dishes Grab the girls: the time’s come to bolt. They got out of the city She said it is a pity Then turned her head & turned to salt. The lessons that they teach us Is goodness will not reach us Intentions matter not a jot That’s because the Holy Sea Calls the shots and it is we Who beget what we had long forgot. Old Noah had to build it And by twos then he filled it Before the rain became a flood. Oh, but if they weren’t his kin Well he wouldn’t let them in He left ‘em fighting in the mud. The lessons that these teach us Is goodness will not reach us Goodness has finally lost the plot ‘Cause the power’s in the hands Of the one who makes demands We are left behind to die & rot. Abraham said unto Zac Let’s walk up on the goat track I feel the need to pay a price. He built a little pyre And set the wood to fire Prepared to make the sacrifice. The lessons that these teach us Is goodness will not reach us Not even through a prime time slot It’s coded in transmissions Infallible decisions What the dish catches is all we’ve got
