I can't upload from Soundcloud anymore. So I would just like to say thank you to all the amazing musicians, composers and songwriters that I have met here on Fandalism. I am truly thankful to have shared musical journeys with a few of you and shall return for a listen occasionally. If Fanda decides to upload from Soundcloud in the future, perhaps one of you would be kind enough to let me know. Meanwhile, good luck to all and a huge thanks for the support and inspiration that I have received from many of you. If anyone is remotely interested in what I will be doing in the future, I'm on Soundcloud and Reverb. Nation.

'Star Flight Express' is a Jazz Fusion track that started out life called 'Shape Shifting'. I sent the track to Melani asking if she might be interested in putting some vocals on top. Thankfully she liked what she heard and as a result we now have 'Star Flight Express' .

'After Midnight' is a ballad that I wrote the music for some years ago and put on the shelf until I found the right person to write the lyric and sing the song. That person is Mauricio Garay, whom I met through Fandalism.com. This is our second recording together and it is my absolute pleasure in putting this song up today. It was a real privilege working again with Mauricio and to say that I enjoyed would be an understatement. Music.....Alan Hamilton Lyrics.....Mauricio Garay Vocals....Mauricio Garay

'Bossa for Bessie' is posted elsewhere as Bessie's Bossa. The reason for this change of title is that Youtube in all it's AI wisdom blocked the original video from being processed. Reason given was my contravention of their new child guidlines. However the video above is unchanged from the original other than I changed the title. So work that one out? Also through this incident I have become aware of how easy it might be, to be associated with unscruptulous child videos. So then how much faith should we be putting into Artificial Intelligence deciding who passes and who doesn't and for what reasons? An interesting scenario and not likely to go away either. Anyway, Bessie was my fiend and companion for 15 years. Arriving at my door as a stray dog and staying for all those years as her own choice. So this is my tribute to her and the wonderful memories that I have of her.
