Story
In the back street of the city that I used to live in, rose a star so bright to be blinding. Now I remember your smile that night. La, da, La, da, da, da” the alley cats sang, chewing on bones, thrown out by the nine fingered chef. “Go home!” he yells at them. The look on their faces reminds me of you, thrown out with the trash, and that star cries Lucy and weeps as it begins to fall. I was wrong blaming it all on the sky, some of it comes from below, fast like hatred, unlike love which is slow. Sobering up those fat cats, chase a painted horse down 22nd Street. Pass a band playing pots and pans like children do. I run out of the alley just in time to see the sun rise on a fool waking up.
Thank you . . .
This album could not have been completed without the talents and energy of so many. Thanks to all my musicians who played more the role of magicians in their parts played out here. All your magic is so near. A special thanks to our families and friends, to Mom and Dad, Kerri and Kev, and the Hannas: all your support has been colossal. Thanks to all the folks at VirtuallyAmerican.com for helping us “get it out there”. Also to Dave Misener at Blank Spaces Recording Studios for salvaging these sounds and creating a great mix. Thanks to Jesse and Mike for teaching me how to make an album, to G. for overseeing the whole process with superb wit and wisdom, to all the friends and friendly neighbours in the beach. Lastly, to all those who continue to encourage and support my work.
Lots of love, Al.
