Steel Pipes

I had a chiffy little melodic groove and wanted to try juxtaposing it with some 'steel bagpipes' (aye, who does na' love a good drone....?) Next thing you know, we're off on the cosmic voyage.

Robin's Song

This a piece I had been toying with and really liked it, but I had no idea what to do with it. Stephen Hill, owner of the Hearts of Space label, called and said he was looking for someone to make a "new age pedal steel" record. That was a light bulb moment, and this song was the first step in exploring that concept.

Souvenirs

Life is often a long, strange journey, and you ineveitably accumulate things and thoughts and feelings along the way. Browsing through these souvenirs of the trip can sometimes illuminate the future with the light of where we've been.

Far Down The Road

This one started with the melodic idea and groove feel, and just sort of fell into place naturally. The bridge gives a nice respite into the guitar solo, and the credit for the ending's 'modulation round robin' goes to Pete Elman - I'm still not sure exactly how it works, but it does so nicely.
