World music songwriting that transcends the single band.
World music songwriting that transcends the single band. Music made round the world from 1990-2002. These songs are my legacy material. My life is an experiential journey of my own design and some of the end result has been recorded and/or live music and spoken word. I play a variety of instruments and sing/talk. Most of the songs on this page date from my recordings between 1995's "4" (under the Moniker Mr. Chaos, in Detroit Michigan U.S.A.) through to 2002's "In Stereo" (with Add Lib Lounge, in Helsinki, Finland). There are also some glimpses here of 1997-9s "Mr. Chaos Trio" from Mid-Finland; 2000's Bahasa Mix, from Malaysia; and 2001's Jazz sessions from Helsinki (with the Black Tuesday Quartet); and 2004 activist bluegrass recordings against GW Bush's "No Child Left Behind" schooling initiative. I hope you enjoy it.

Story behind the song
An introspective protest of late 1980's U.S. comsumer materialism and the apathy that led us to the first Gulf war without question. The song is as relevant in 2005 as it was in 1991. It was a local radio hit in Detroit. Musicians: John Hammink - Guitar and Vocals; Markku Rude Rothsten: Bass; Harri Kuikka Udu and Percussion
Lyrics
It's Ten o clock on Sunday Morning, and I can't hear the bell Wondering where the sun dissappeared to.. ...oh well. Chorus: Listen to the way the rain hits the gutter, hard to behold it, shapely but inane; Listen now fellas - to truth or consequence, hard to comprehend it, just the same. Keeping the though - wait- what's the hurry? The idea didn't jell... Let's go watch T.V. and see Baghdad burn, Maybe a little later we can try to learn! You saw those girls laughing, hey what the hell do they know? Besides spending money and driving around. Look here hey people, hey what's going on? Could be my imagination but I'm going down...
