"The sunlight of his days

Was spent in the grey of his mind

As he stole love with a tongue of lies

The world is shrinking in size"

*Phil May was the lead singer and original member of the UK English Invasion band Pretty Things that never reached their deserved  success here in the States. The early singles, lps like S.F. Sorrow and Parachute and the mid-seventies Swan Song releases are all must-have in your collection.

"Ohhh, this just brings us up to what's happenin' again folks. The Titanic she's sailin' around in between the icebergs. Everybody else is havin' parties. The Jewish people they jumpin' up n' down they tradin' wives n' Cadillacs n' diamonds n' drinkin' booze. Everybody else is hoistin' up land lubbers, battenin' down hatches n' doin' sail things. The First Mate's hangin' over there on the rail havin' himself a little smoke n' diggin' icebergs. And the Captain's out cold on the wheelhouse floor"

*The inspiration that fuels the Deep Listening sessions at RFW
is the lost art of immersing oneself into music without distraction or interruption,
as opposed to it being relegated to background or ambient sounds
(which have a place - just not hear now)!
