"Shape of My Heart" - By Sting and Dominic Miller
And a little children song as an epilogue...

This video recording was shot in my favorite garden on the planet.
It's situated in Omer , an upscale town in the Southern District of Israel, bordering Beer Sheva, in the Negev desert.
I spent my youth in Beer Sheva and played in this particular garden in Omer since I was about 5 years of age,
later it became a meditative kind of place as I grew older,
for this the garden is the property of people who are family.
The Loeb Family.
I might add that the founder of this home of which this magical garden is a part of, :
Is Sidney Loeb who invented the power generating process pressure retarded osmosis (PRO)generally known as Reverse Osmosis.
I stumbled upon the song 'In the Ghetto' incidentally,

I wrote this on "command" shortly after the George Floyd riots which took place in the USA and subsequently in various countries around the world during the first Covid 19 lock down in 2020.
The video and dismal audio were also recorded around the same period, so I'm three years younger in the video which makes me 3 years older as I'm writing these odd words.
I'm reposting this song somewhat outdated as in 3 years our world has changed so radically.
But I'm still a songwriter...
So I'm reposting the song as the previous song/video
didn't adhere to the Advertiser-friendly content guidelines of YouTube.
Hope it does this time round in our ever changing world...

Upon arrival in Seoul South Korea, it took us a few days to find an appropriate spot to busk in.
But on Saturday, June 23rd 2018 we stumbled upon a path way, behind the Sejongno park (where Jagyeongjeon Chamber is situated) and asked a random busker if he'd mind whether we busked just up that particular path way.
He insisted that he would give us his spot, should we jam a few songs with him.
He introduced himself as Zack, spoke English very eloquently and played some great guitar chops.
A friendship was quickly forged and as a result also a video was captured of such occasional magical moments in life.
This video was shot with a Smartphone, so it's not the best quality video BUT it the first song Zak and myself jammed away,
without any form of rehearsal what so ever.
Bob Marley's
STIR IT UP

One evening I was busking on Circular Quay in Sydney Australia,
when a bunch of young men stood across me and started chuckling.
I asked if they didn't like the music in between songs and they replied:
"No it's the faces you're pulling... pretty unusual"
Now I see why.
I'm a Face Singer.
