Speaker for the Dead

Another Peter Gabriel favorite to indulge the hours!

Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel Cover) Just for Fun!

I just can't stop!  One for the current mood-strangely apt for our current time.  I think this song might be about how hard it is to accept change.  Tribute cover of Mr. Peter Gabriel's classic!  Just for the fun of it!

Here Comes the Flood (Acoustic Version) [Peter Gabriel Cover] Just for fun!

The whole kit and caboodle, 24 minutes of Progressive rock awesomeness.

Suppers Ready (Genesis Cover, 24 minutes) Just for Fun

I always loved this song and was always very aware of how in the song Peter Gabriel used cultural appropriation to deride and decry and at the same time celebrate cultural appropriation (which is in my opinion what music is all about- an omni-culture if you will!)  I had great fun making this and thought I'd share it for today's celebration of "San Jacinto Day!" ("Remember the Alamo!"). Interestingly it is my understanding that drummer and sometime bandmate Phil Collins was a longtime collector of Davy Crockett and Alamo memorabilia!  Phil did not play on this original track though.  Art concept design courtesy of Steven Hewitt.

San Jacinto (Peter Gabriel Cover) Just for fun

Always heard this track as Bluebells, even though its "Bluegirls".  Recorded it the way I hear it without the somewhat silly seeming and relatively meaningless poetic conceit.   I hope that doesn't detract from the experience.  Enjoy!

Ripples - Genesis Cover (Just for Fun)

Inspired by the fog from which our faun awakes, prior to the more famous musing by Messrs. Debussy and Mallarme.  To cite from Wikepedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pr%C3%A9lude_%C3%A0_l%27apr%C3%A8s-midi_d%27un_faune#Inspiration_and_influence)
Debussy's composition was inspired by the poem L'après-midi d'un faune by Stéphane Mallarmé... one of Debussy's most famous works, considered a turning point in the history of music...About his composition Debussy wrote:   “The music of this prelude is a very free illustration of Mallarmé's beautiful poem. By no means does it claim to be a synthesis of it. Rather there is a succession of scenes through which pass the desires and dreams of the faun in the heat of the afternoon. Then, tired of pursuing the timorous flight of nymphs and naiads, he succumbs to intoxicating sleep, in which he can finally realize his dreams of possession in universal Nature."
Paul Valéry reported that Mallarmé himself was unhappy with his poem being used as the basis for music: "He believed that his own music was sufficient, and that even with the best intentions in the world, it was a veritable crime as far as poetry was concerned to juxtapose poetry and music, even if it were the finest music there is."  However, Maurice Dumesnil states in his biography of Debussy that Mallarmé was enchanted by Debussy's composition, citing a short letter from Mallarmé to Debussy that read: "I have just come out of the concert, deeply moved. The marvel! Your illustration of the Afternoon of a Faun, which presents a dissonance with my text only by going much further, really, into nostalgia and into light, with finesse, with sensuality, with richness. I press your hand admiringly, Debussy. Yours, Mallarmé."
