I was also a fan of the 45. Two songs, approximately 7-10 total minutes to state your case. Nice...
I have been a musician for over 30 years, and have played live with musicians like Eyvind Kang, Dave Trenkel, Burned Mind and Fred Challenor as well as with members of Caveman Shoestore, The Tone Dogs, Jade Warrior, Group Du Jour, Thinking Plague, Hamster Theater and others, and have opened for everyone from Nirvana and the Sun City Girls to Elliot Sharp and They Might be Giants. I currently play music with Daniel Crommie, Bruce Hazen, Colin Henson, David Duhig, Jon Davis Miller, and some great avant-garde musicians in Argentina. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in creating something cool!

Bill, In Repose
Bill is in repose, and has been for so long now.
No one knows where he goes, when Bill is in repose
but it's been at least 5 years now. He hasn't moved, or said a word.
we begin to worry about Bill. When we worry about him at all.
We can hear no sign of breathing but Bill is deep that way
We're sure he must be dreaming, but he will never say
but it's been at least 5 years now. He hasn't moved, or said a word.
we begin to worry about Bill. When we worry about anything at all...
Solo
He never moves a muscle. He never blinks an eye.
Sometimes we worry about Bill. When we worry about anyone but ourselves
Bill is in repose...
Bill is in repose...
Stars Separate The Night
What part of me belongs to you?
The answer would be; none.
And no matter what you say to me
I will never be more than one.
To you, or anyone else.
CHORUS
Drape the night in Shadow
And hide the rest in lies
What do I care, what you have done?
I couldn’t care less If I tried
And though treat me like a hired hand
I will never be your guide
find the way yourself
chorus
SOLO
Bathe the night in Monet light
And shroud the stars in dreams
There are two worlds, where I belong
but only one of them is mine.
10 Master
Dark was the night.
And as the pale reeds bent into the wind
They made a sound
They made a sound
Dark was the night.
The night can be anything that you want it to be
That you want it to be…
Dark was the night.
In truth there was no two of us.
At all.
No frame, no door.
No wall. No floor
Dark was this life.
And life can be anything that you want it to be
That you want it to be…
That you want it to be…
Dark was the night.
And something moving in the trees
Something wrong….
It made a sound
It made a sound

Ferguson
I don't need to explain this one. If you are looking for a soundtrack to the revolution , this isn't it. It is meant to convey my sadness at the way the world is, or at least, as it seems to me. One of my friends said that he heard hope in it. Maybe....
