Well During Corona lock down in South Africa I had time to re-record and rework a nostalgic creation of mine. I decided to use band in the box as accompaniment and I am really impressed

Botteltjie Jou aka Little Blue Bottle of You

Bring me a little blue bottle
With a neck and a small cork stopper
So I can catch Jongensfontein's song
Bring me a little blue bottle

Mix the scent of a rhinoceros bush
With the singing of a brown house sparrow
Add to the laughter of playing children
And mix with the rush of waves

Bring me a little blue bottle
With a neck and a small cork stopper
So I can catch Jongensfontein's song
Bring me a little blue bottle

Put on the small cork stopper
and seal the sound of the fountain
And hum a sad silent tune
Like a lonely little boy

With a laugh in my Oakdale heart
Take my soul again the long way
After times of innocence and laughter
Where the fountain lies and waits

Bring me a little blue bottle
With a neck and a small cork stopper
So I can catch Jongensfontein's song
Bring me a little blue bottle
