Description
Our contribution to the MJ Woodstock festival. I probably don't need to say much about this because it's more an experiential thing. Skin up and freak out. :)

Since neither of us will get on a plane we weren't able to attend Woodstock in person (and the fact that I was only 7 months old at the time didn't help). So we astrally projected onto the stage during a particularly vivid acid trip. Those who were there may or may not remember seeing this shadowy and enigmatic British band in the line-up, half human, half animal ...

Dick played all the instruments and also did most of the songwriting, with some lyric contributions from me.

Vocals are a four-way collab between me, Dick, Chiana (my cat) and Django (Dick's dog).

Knew this was gonna be
really good when I saw "Rebsie" as the poster... Always good stuff thus comes!!!

Sweet... Won't get on airplanes huh? Hum... spent most of my younger years in the air as a pilot. Let's see, close to 12,000 logged hours... more if I count the airline logs.

But...
I can't hear the cat meow or the dog bark! Maybe I just missed it! :-)

When I was recording a few years ago I was trying to do a vocal track and really working my voice and all of a sudden my cat sitting right behind me goes: MEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW! I left it in the track just for fun.

I'll have to search for that song... Probably have it on tape somewhere!

The dog starts about 1:45

This is so catchy...
I have been humming the tune since listening to it. It's really a smile-maker of a song... very in keeping with the idealistic times surrounding the sixties.

Rebsie said 614 days ago (March 21st, 2008)

Thanks Jack. It made us smile, so we hoped it would have that effect on others too. Not that I remember much about the 60s ... *cough*

What do you call a young sitar?
A baby sitar.

Anyway, moving on... this is a very groovy piece of neo-psychedelia which ticks all the right boxes.

And as for Rebsie's spoken word bit at the end: I do love a woman in unicorn.

Light Show
My mother-in-law used to do light shows for bands that traveled through Seattle in the 60's and I kept picturing what she'd do with this song, which means, I guess that you guys really captured the vibe o' the times. The transitions from the solo voices into the melted, melded univoice are just really cool. I'm listening on monitors and it's really groovy sounding. I'm looking forward to feeling those voices travel through my head when I put on headphones.

Killer guitar solo and tremolo RULZ!!!

If we ever find ourselves touring in Seattle (after they've invented aeroplaneless transatlantic travel) we'll be sure to book your mother-in-law for a special commission so you get to see the real thing.

Always delighted to get comments from you Lisa, your friendship and support mean a lot. :)

Unexpected, nice
I was hoping you'd join the Festival, but I expected you in the folky part. This was a nice treat. Thanks for sharing.

Rebsie said 616 days ago (March 19th, 2008)

It's good of you to drop by, thank you. I've tended to stick within the folky genre because my limited instrumental skills didn't allow much else, but now I've got Dick's amazing range of musical skills to draw on I'm able to explore my wild side. :)

But this has a character all it's own. Love what you two have done here. Definitely takes me places I wasn't ready to go, again.

Thanks Dick and Rebsie for a really great trip.

I probably wouldn't want to go there either :-)

This is really a distillation of the sounds I heard growing up in the 60s before the drugs kicked in.

above all else. Grabbing the attention and then trying to hold it.

Pleased you enjoyed it.

This is great
A lot of fun - great vocals, and lovely sounds running throughout. I love the intro, and the drums and bass give it a nice groove. I especially like the freakout it becomes. Very cool. Enjoyed that journey. Peace.
