Twas An Instamatic Christmas

Summer Rain - Jim Perkins

In 1991, Jonas Dainius Berzanskis produced " Gali Skambeti Keistai " It Might Sound Strange " in Warsaw Poland. The artist and author was Andrius Mamontovas, and it was Lithuania's first pop compact disc. Dainius decided to produce a personal version and composed English Lyrics and a new arrangement of the tune " Vejas " and tiled it " Winds of Change "  All instruments and vocals by Dainius. Krakova was the seat of the Lithuanian Polish Kingdom, Andrius Mamontovas shout in 1991 at the end of the tune - strangely it's in tune - takes place in the cathedral room of Wieliczka Salt Mine. That space created the the production vibe I followed in producing Gali Skambeti Keistai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wieliczka_Salt_Mine

Winds of Change - Vejas

In the midst of a dream I see a hand - not quite in focus fingers long and slender - not quite awake I feel a presence - not quiet in reach my hand extends - a warm glow envelops - I awake and there he is Smiling!
Dainius Berzanskis dedicates this tune to his grandfathers, Jaroslavas Taujanskas and Jonas Berzanskis, who he never met. The composition came in a dream. The ancient Samagotian pagan folk melody  is interspersed with spoken word. The tune is about the approaching Winter Solstice full moon with a white stag appearing as a totem holding the sun and moon. The Gods dance freezing the landscape
