We here at Cosmic Bos have been busy recording an EP (coming very soon), as well as our next Improvisation podcast, so plenty of new material coming up in the near future.
In between this though, we have been having jams on the beach with Kalimbas.
Kalimba Beach Jam #1
Kalimba Beach Jam #2
Kalimba Beach Jam #3
It has been great fun playing the Kalimba, and it makes a big appearance in our next improvised album (which we've recorded already but not mixed yet, or worded up with wisdom).
Big thanks to Joe Philogene for being such a legend, he truly has made 2021 an exciting year of musical exploration and Cosmic Bos wouldn't be the same without him.
Coming Up next: An EP, some silliness in video form, and more.
Cosmic Bos presents Words of Wisdom 5: Charlie Chaplin
With improvised music provided by Cosmic Bos as part of Improvisation 3: Summadelica
The speech comes from Charlie Chaplin's film The Great Dictator (1940) and it is a zinger indeed, it's already done the rounds on the internet many times, and it was always the plan to use it as one of our Words of Wisdom series, you can find the full film on the internet and youtube etc, it's well old and the copyright on it is dubious.
Check out our other words of wisdoms if you haven't already, and there are further ones to come from this very record including Nelson Mandela, Greta Thunberg and Ram Dass, it's a lot of wisdom I can tell ya.
The track and it's musical brothers can be found on Spotify
Please like, share, subscribe, help us get the wisdom out to the world, we love you
Peace and infinite love

On the 5th June 2021, Cosmic Bos met at a secret location to record the third in their fully improvised series, with a book full of pre-written lyrics and plenty of snacks. It was a wonderful afternoon of musical exploration, and here for your pleasure is the whole thing, including some of the intros and outros that usually get cut off, there is about 20 mins of it, that is not present on the album version.
The words of wisdoms for this episode where lovingly borrowed from YouTube, with Charlie Chaplin's speech being from the film The Great Dictator (1940) and available on youtube many times, with music accompanying it. Nelson Mandela's speech from his release from prison in 1990 also comes from youtube and shares far to many similarities to Chaplin's speech from 50 years before. Which leads us to Greta Thunberg from December 2019 addressing the UN on Climate Change, with echos of both Chaplin and Mandela.
So as not to feel too down and out about the state of the world and the people that patrol it, the final Words of Wisdom comes from Ram Dass, an ever reliable source of great wisdom. The full Ram Dass speech can be found on the Here and Now podcast, link to the specific episode right here.
