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I'm reposting this song somewhat outdated as in 3 years our world has changed so radically.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...

I was the residential performer in the 'Bottega del Vino' restaurant in Perugia, during Umbria Jazz Festival 2016.
Ptah Brown approached after a gig and exclaimed: " I have to perform a few songs with you Brother, and I CAN sing Gospel and Blues...".
Somewhat flabbergasted and bewildered , I replied without any hesitation and honestly: awestruck by her audacity: " Ok! sure, let's. Come tomorrow around 6 PM during my sound check and we'll run through a few songs"!
Well Ptah Brown kept her promise, showed up with her hair do and apparently,, a very soulful voice.
And I just knew: I knew it'll be an unforgettable show.
In this video we're performing a Billie Holiday song;'
Fine and Mellow'. And indeed, IT WAS FINE AND MELLOW to share a stage with this amazing lady.

"Everybody's Talkin'" is a song written and recorded by singer-songwriter Fred Neil in 1966. The best known version of the song was recorded and performed by Harry Nilsson.
Harry Nilsson's version is an absolute masterpiece an Evergreen greener than White Widow grass.
I always loved this song since I can remember myself.
It's very hard to compete with the original version of the song which was featured as the theme song in the film Midnight Cowboy in 1969.
And this very modest attempt to cover 'Everybody's Talkin', was recorded live into a video cam in Mitzpe Ramon (Hebrew: מִצְפֵּה רָמוֹן, lit. Ramon Lookout; Arabic: متسبي رمون) a town in the Negev desert of southern Israel.
The name Ramon comes from the Hebrew "Roma'im" meaning Romans. It is situated on the northern ridge at an elevation of 860 meters (2,800 feet) overlooking a sizable erosion cirque known as the Ramon Crater.
It's not an easy song to cover as the vocals require the skills of a voice virtuoso such as Harry Nilsson which is extremely hard to match, and the guitar finger picking riff is not one of the easiest to perform.
The song was recorded in over 14 takes and this video was referred to as:
'Everybody's Talkin' Take 7', during the editing process.
