Copperfield has all-too-vivid recollection of the terrifying storm at Yarmouth and the tragic end to a near-to-shore rescue attempt.

As Clearly As I See

As clearly as I see what happened then
Before me now, it happens again

Greet the faces, scenes and figures in the fire
The howl and the roar rattling windows, pews and doors
Sheets of lead ripped clean from the high church spire
The dark invests the storm with terror in new forms

Fearful of falling stacks, the showered salt rains down
Streets strewn with sand dunes; trees torn from the ground
The tremendous sea in the grip of the blinding crown
High watery walls whip and engulf this shattered town

As clearly as I see
It happens again

The ship’s bell rang on deck; she rose with two men gone
He made toward the wreck, striving valiantly and strong
They drew him to the shore and tried by all means and skills
So shaken to the core, a generous and meek heart stilled

As Clearly As I See

November 2023. I removed the cover of my 40 year old Roland U20, blew the dust off the keys and played the first notes after decades of silence. A first glimpse to the past and to the future at the same time.

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – traditional gourd form body sitar and lap steel

 This is a song that Chris wrote on the drums, bass, and guitar and shared with the collective. We all love working on Chris's songs, and got to work on it even more enthusiastically than usual. Josh was up first with his lap steel, which he weaves throughout. He also added the sitar at the beginning and the acoustic sitar at the end. Stephen stepped in and added the gnarly electric sitar at the end. JJ also made his presence heard by adding the thrilling organ and electric piano throughout. Ken then augmented Chris's original drums with his own in expert fashion. Last, but not least, Tez added his electric guitat magic to the stew, as well. 
  Since Chris brought this song to the group, and is a fine producer, he did the honors of the mix and production. 
  This is our latest with Chris, whose music we all adore. If you dig this, you should go check out his page, as it contains lots of wonders to hear. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
