KEEP IN TOUCH
KEEPING IN TOUCH by GARRY MANUEL
With simply an expressive vocal and an acoustic guitar, Garry's song crafts an impassioned plea to that special person who can chase away the shadows of isolation with just a phone call. This simple arrangement allows the raw emotion of his appeal to resonate deeply, making its message of desiring a release and draining of the loneliness all the more powerful.
The intention was to avoid the clutter of multiple instruments and allow Garry’s expressive vocals to combine with the simplicity of his acoustic guitars in carrying the song’s message effectively.
Dave Kluge plays. upright bass, while Garry is responsible for the vocals, guitars and string parts. The song was recorded at RAMP (Rochester Area Music Project), outside of Rochester, NY, once again, by Garry’s son, Marshall.
The song will be placed on Garry’s upcoming album, “Acoustically Speaking”, that most likely will be released in early 2026.
