Creator of all — bless our lives with your fire, to inspire

Lieb:
I NEVER made a duo record with a drummer like that before, that’s for SURE.
Phil:
‘YO — I would hope NOT!!!
Lieb:
Even ten years ago YOU KNOW we’d have filled every space RIGHT UP.

ALONE (lyrics)
[available also on 4 Horns & What?, Alone, and Prayers]
Windswept heart(s)
beneath our crushing waves
Tears seek joy
soaked mountains in it’s way
Alone
not lonely
alone
only in my way
Joyous tears, hopeful fears
blinded by my mind’s eye — (s)
Wind from rain
sails briefly from our fog
breathing life, gasping thoughts
holding out for
reign

After Rashied & Coltrane,
+ all the electri – FRIED music since
it’s time for a post-maximal-ism, too — from us all.
~ Phil

Incantation:
to swing, or not to swing . . .

The code
truths honor:
longer – shorter,
alone
Dark — blues for Israel — zen Lieb
To swing, or not to swing
longer – shorter

Awakening,
that is the question
