It starts with a jump
Off the Starry Plough stage
Flipping your mom’s skirt
Soon was all the rage
With Bri and Micki Backstage
Before the Tractor call
On Edge in Vancouver
In the Wisest Club of all
30 little kitties
Come a-runnin’ at the tree
30 little birds of love
Fly away with thee
All the holy reasons
Life has given you to me
Several charming decades
And Maria Fly Fly
Then red-headed Pat
In his fine big boots
Old Man Flint and Cathy in cahoots
Dorie & The Lovin’ Cup
A spicy curry we ate up
Mike, Pete and The Mighty Dan
The Hall of Fame
In Cleve-ish-land
Samantha, Bob and Melanie
And their big hearts
Icy Deb and Lika
And their pretzel-chocolate arts
Master Dave and little Laz
A-codin’ on the screen
Bob & Diane’s sing-along
An autoharp scene.
The Philly Folk Fest living room
With Barb and all your friends
The tartan heart of Pleasanton
Sonora’s Karnahan
The piney woods of Enumclaw
And Dublin’s rampant green
The Northern Faire in fancy dress
Captain Morgan and The Queen.
With Sandra in the Highlands
And Lee Bowers cozy nest
Johnny’s Tartan rocks
CBGBs was a test
Morris-dancing Judy
And E and David Stein
Focal Point’s a welcome
Then Beatle Bob at 9
Cropredy with Fairport
Sandy Skagen by the seas
Mick on Canal Street
And Gene Shay when he MCs
Allen and Judy
And the Leathery Sun
A workshop at Falcon Ridge
Is how we have begun

Here’s to all that holds you up
When flanked by sky and wave
And here’s to the smile that stays behind
To kindle and to save
And here’s to the bright atop deep greens
That leads us ever on
And here’s to the warring heart of queens
And the treasure that will be won
Here’s to a love and here’s to a land
And the blood for each was spilt
And here’s to the axe that fit a hand
By which our world was built
And here’s to the power of a word
That paused on a quivering lip
And here’s to the treacherous sailing bird
That sank a beautiful ship
Here’s to all that holds you up
When flanked by sky and wave
And here’s to the smile that stays behind
To kindle and to save
And here’s to what was worth a life
That sleeps in the cold below
The golden shapes of human strife
Where never a man may go

The clean, dark hope of cotton left drying in the wind
Love of a big-heart woman that dying doesn’t end
The voices raise up in the air beyond the Hopewell grove
The shady woods, I’m with you where you drove
Girl in a stone cold basement shining in the light
Stories through the iron steam the cotton smooth and white
You planted in those seed trees to cheer a somber child
For all I know they grow there still and wild
Now from a weary distance I see you in my dreams
The sound of a train so lonesome another life it seems
Now Mr. Ott is selling cans around the bend from God
I lose my place and you just think I'm odd
Drove out by the river where the homestead used to be
All the roads were named for them the seven kids and me
Shadow in the shotgun house is always cool and dark
In the window song of meadowlark
I saw him decades later when they laid her down to rest
Dark eyes turned to opal and looking to the west
Purple martins lace the sky above the Williamson place
Generations since they saw your face

Lyrical playing by Beledo (both on electric guitar / piano), with chops where needed, backed by the impeccable rhythm foundation of the great Tony Levin on basses and Kenny Grohowski on drums plus a number of guests. Beautiful jazz/fusion indeed nicely recorded (as Beledo is quoted in the liner notes) and presented in shiny HD format.

Je peux conseiller Common Ground aux amateurs de rock progressif symphonique, de préférence à ceux qui ont un goût pour les sonorités seventies (mais pas que). C’est solide, maîtrisé, inspiré. (Chroniqué sur https://alias.erdorin.org)

Write The Soil Lighter
by Mother Juniper
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics.
