A little town in northeastern California used to be a mill town with a prison.  Today, the mill stands still. The towers remain a reminder of a much different time. 
Thanks To Logan Blackard for drums
Lyrics;
There's visions of ghosts 
at the old mill tower
In the old saw mill
The blades of the saws
Once hot from the cut
sit cold and still

mountains surround
A small valley town 
At the foot of the hills
A small lonely place
With the never sweat pace
of Susanville 


The cold winter days pass 
into warm summer nights 
The Old town shines on the Main Street 
in bold neon light
The  bitter brush covers a dry desert land 
to the tree covered hills
An old lumber town that's hardly renowned called Susanville 

Roll the lumber
We're cutting for grade
Logs rolling in set for the cut
Is how our money is made

Roll the lumber
We're cutting for grade
Logs rolling in set for the cut
Is how our money is made

New Industry grows 
time served for crime
Jobs to be filled
The cops and the cons 
Face off behind walls 
The state pays the bill

The old mill still stands
holding it's ground 
In hope of living again
Lost spirits are found
in this High Desert town
Called Susanville

Roll the lumber
We're cutting for grade
Logs rolling in set for the cut
Is how our money is made

Roll the lumber
We're cutting for grade
Logs rolling in set for the cut
Is how our money was made

Susanville

Samoa Five-0 (Remix by Nic)

Dissonance in music is not often accepted and yet it is part of every individual in the form of cognitive dissonance, a very interesting topic in social psychology.
In music, I have a certain pleasure in playing with this dissonance which brings, for my part, a complementary expression in the message that I construct, that I shape. This music thus delivers two opposites, the "pure" note and the "bastard" note, which when well orchestrated (if I may say so) ends up giving another dimension to the composition. I love this exercise which gives me the impression of being a cat that must constantly fall back on its paws, moreover the dissonance is a certain form of search for balance :-)

I learned this morning of the death of Ennio Morricone. I wanted to broadcast again this tribute to the master which had been inspired by mister Linir song: https://soundcloud.com/liniror/the-good-old-westerns-guitar-morricones-stylecomposed-by-linir-or The original from Linir was so good… Ennio —I know— should like it !!!! https://soundcloud.com/liniror
Sorry Linir, can’t be able to listen these days anything. 
Merci pour cette musique, Linir…
