Song Notes and Lyrics:
This song imagines one of those occasions when you by chance find yourself in a place where there is some great live music that somehow just seems right.....
Lyrics:
Somewhere in New York City
Or was it down in New Orleans 
Could have been in San Francisco
Or maybe it was all a dream
I was walking by an old blues bar-room 
When I heard somebody playing with some style
So I bought myself an ice cold beer
And listened for a while

Looked like he’d lived a whole life-time
Beard gone silver grey
The people in the place seemed spellbound
Happy just to hear him play
At home on stage under the spotlight 
Keeping time with his heel on the floor
I bought myself another beer
I stayed and Iistened some more 

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

He played until the bar-room closed
Right sound right time right place
He walked off into the night
With his old leather guitar case
Never knew his name
Don’t even know if he still plays
But I’ll picture that stage and hear that sound
For the rest…of my days

He wore a fine silk waistcoat
Jacket on the back of his seat
Hat pulled down to his cheekbone
Boots tapping out that beat

Fine Silk Waistcoat

Adrian Tchaikovsky imagines a sentient viral culture keen to explore any lifeform it encounters (via infection) to satify its insatiable curiosity about the universe - initially with disastrous results.  I found the unattributed image on Pinterest.

Dream the World Away

George Gurdjieff profoundly impacted the mystical world through his development of the Fourth Way, a spiritual teaching that sought to integrate aspects of Eastern and Western traditions. Gurdjieff taught that people are not conscious of themselves and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and serve our purpose as human beings. 

Emerging in the early 20th century, Gurdjieff introduced a unique approach to self-realization that emphasized the need for simultaneous development of the intellectual, emotional, and physical aspects of the self. His teachings, characterized by complex exercises, rhythmic movements, and a distinctive blend of Eastern mysticism and Western psychology, challenged conventional spiritual practices and invited a more holistic pursuit of personal growth.

 Gurdjieff's emphasis on self-observation and inner work, along with his influential writings such as "Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson," left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and provoke thought among seekers and scholars in the mystical and spiritual domains.

Promises To Keep (feat. Fr. Harris)

"Not all who wander are lost." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

We all wander at one time or another.  Sometimes, it leads us to wonderful discoveries.  At other times, it can take us away from the things and people in life that are truly important.  One thing is certain:  Wandering almost always teaches us something.
