After the Words of Wisdom 3 Ram Dass, the musical adventuring just didn't want to leave the wise guy alone, so for the next song, Ram Dass continues to dish out the tasty wisdom treats while the Bos chaps noodle away in a musical fashion.
Cosmic Bos improved the music, and they are:
Percussion - Joe Philogene
Electric Guitar, Synth and Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson
This song is track 8 in the Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections album, which is available from all good music streaming venues, please take your pick
This song is a direct follow on from Words of Wisdom 3, as the music began to swell a vocal called out 'Be Here Now', and the whirlwind swirled us all in, and Ram Dass had to stop talking so the music could take over, and that is how this song was born.
Here is our embedded podcast page from Spotify, please follow us till the end of time.
Be Here Now is one of Ram Dass's central thesis's, and truly a reflection of what we have been doing here at Cosmic Bos with our improvisation podcast project.

We also have our Cosmic Bos/Acoustic Covers series that continues on YouTube,
2020 done and dusted for prints, there were many, many prints, all over the place, it took a while to dust for them all, and this metaphor has run it's course, so on with the blog.

So now we look forward, with our eyes, to a brand new year, there is still a funky stench in the air left over from last year, it clearly hasn't cleared yet, so let's keep protecting ourselves. We here at Cosmic Bos are not slowing down though, oh no, we are straight onto Season 3, that's right, we have commissioned ourselves for another season, we decided it was something we would like to do, so we are doing it. The first episode from our third season will be along with you on the 1st of Feb, and the Bos boys are joined by Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird. 2 video's are currently in the developmental phase, and the album itself is shaping up very nicely, very excited to unveil our 3rd step in the eventual domination of the music industry plan that we have been making up as we go along.
Happy New Year
Album on Spotify, along with all the albums from which the best was plucked (chicken style)

Our resident monkeys, Jethro & Jeffrey, are joined by Nick from Cosmic Bos to discuss the highs and lows of 2020. There was plenty to discuss, it has been a big year full of worldwide events that effected most people (and monkeys) the world over in some sense. But have no fear, for Cosmic Bos are here to offer up some soothing improv-revised music and light bants to help with the transition into the next potentially crazy year.
2020 Vision, it really has been that hasn't it. High hopes at the start, high hopeless at the end. We've all been through something this year, something that won't quickly be forgotten, some fundamental changes to our very cores, new views on old news, scare tactics and mad frantics, it's not what we planned for and nothing like expected, but it happened and we are still here in some sense, so might as well make the most of it and soldier ever on into the great unknown.
We began 2020 with 'Focus' - a step up in our improv-revised sound, and a step up in our video production. Through the year we have experimented with our Toy videos, done actual animation with lego and cut outs of ourselves, played around with green screen umbrellas, made lockdown music videos, released a 7 part documentary about ourselves and how great we are, as well as 8 acoustic raw songbook videos, and released 8 albums of music with 12 episodes of our podcast. Not bad for such a trying year.
in 2020 Cosmic Bos made 20 music videos, 19 for themselves and 1 for Anya Louisa. You can watch the year in reverse video wise from 'Road Trip' to 'Focus'.
A hoot and a hola indeed.
While 2020 has been a positive creative year for Bos, 2021 looks to be far brighter and creativer, with the Best of Season 2 coming out in January 2021, it will be closely followed by our next single 'Aim', which features Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird and marks the start of Season 3. We are currently squirrelling away on the pre production for the video, and the album/episode is well underway, still untitled as of this moment of blogging, but it will be released on the 1st of February 2021, so it will have a name before that, and we will share that name once we have come up with it.
So anyway, hope you liked it, our little retrospective. Here is the Spotify embed for anyone who likes their podcast spotty. Please Like, Share and Subscribe to all our fun-ness, we love you forever in exchange.
