That&#8217;s when the rhythm to &#8220;Peace Bus&#8221; appeared.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I have over 30 years of improv recordings. Hours and hours and hours. Sitting down with a guitar, restless fingers, and no ideas is one of my favorite pastimes. Of course, the vast bulk of this &#8220;music&#8221; (maybe all of it) is of no interest to anyone but the musician. I sometimes reach back into, like a bag of musical tricks but it&#8217;s mostly just small talk between me and the air.<\/p>\n<p>Every once in a while, however, the stars align and something almost whole comes out one of those sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the original magic can never be captured and what results is kind of a still life drawing of the beautiful bird you saw for a moment there. Other times, however, you can coax that bird to flutter around and cohabitate with you some.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Peace Bus,&#8221; is one such coaxed bird. The vast majority just grew out of itself as I sat there with my guitar in my lap. When I got stuck, my wife came by, listened and said: &#8220;repeat it. I wanna hear that part again right here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, dear.<\/p>\n<h2>Peace Bus (aint comin&#8217; back)<\/h2>\n<p>As I played began to play the main riff over the rhythm, the words &#8220;Peace Bus aint comin&#8217; back&#8221; chanted along with it in my head to the notes.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 is running rampant across communities and economies. Violent (and peaceful) protests against racism rock the world, yet the codified repression, maiming, and killing of minorities of any stripe continues, unabated. We&#8217;re destroying our environment &#8211; and that of most other current organisms on the planet. As if that&#8217;s not enough, we elected a mutant ape with delusions of grandeur as President of the United States, fer chrissakes.<\/p>\n<p>In my mind, the goddamn Peace Bus is not just long gone, that mother fucker aint EVER coming back.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes. That&#8217;s where the title came from &#8211; and BEFORE I added the descending bass line.
