An original song by Bill Bannen with a primitive progressive rock flavor that started as a poem I wrote around 1976-1978 which felt like it was, if you will, a past-life memory. The basic song format came into being around 1995-1996. It then stayed on paper until August 2013 when my guitar instructor/friend/co-producer, Brandon Dyke of Dreamline Productions in Mauldin, SC, USA, said’ “You need to get that out there so people can hear it”. At 60 years young, it was definitely time. We started recording in late January-early February of 2014. I played all the instruments (Didgeridoo, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Rain Stick and Keyboard) except for the Bass and the drums (Brandon Dyke). 
I remember when I came in to put down the lead guitar tracks, I really did not have a definite plan on what to play...it just came together as I played and all of the tracks just happened to fit together on the fly. 

Remembering StoneHenge by Bill Bannen

We frolicked in the halls of StoneHenge

Wandering ‘round and ‘bout the dolmens 

It was many, many lifetimes ago

Here I am remembering again


Your beauty was beyond belief

Your long golden hair would flow in the wind

Your peasant dress would billow…as you ran

As a sylph…you floated along

                   Where, oh where…are you now?

                   Where in this world are you now?

                   I’m searching, I’m searching for you 

                   And do you look the same as you did then?

We’d stand in a circle and gaze up at the stars

Gaze up at the stars and search for home

We’d ask the “sky” for help…and sometimes,

Sometimes…we’d get…an answer


We’d drink a potion and go flyin’

Flyin’ through the outer realms

But somewhere, somehow I lost you

And found myself all alone…

                   Where, oh where…are you now?

                   Where in this world are you now?

                   I’m searching, I’m searching for you 

                   And do you look the same as you did then?
              
                   And do you look the same as you did then?

                   And do you look the same as you did then?

Remembering Stonehenge - Bill Bannen - Final Mix

This song was written based on personal experience. Twice one night I fell asleep at the wheel and each time was awakened in time to avoid a crash with inanimate objects. I did the lead vocals and played all the instruments. My fellow guitar student, ShaunaLee, did the angelic vocals.
