Album Notes

I have begun to think of these songs as characters in a novel. You'll probably like some of them and dislike some, but my hope is you will find them interesting,engaging and somehow meaningful and moving. There's the friendly but somewhat rowdy "Alligator Stomp", who likes to have a couple beers and flirt with the girls at the local hotspot. Then there's Delores and her soon-to-be husband, the young lovers of "For You"who are happily (perhaps naively?) committed to each other. "Solstice" might be that pretty girl you know who's into auras and yoga. "Confluence" is the serious semi-intellectual - probably some kind of university professor or maybe grad student. Likes to wear turtlenecks and drives a Volvo. "Meditations" evokes the eternal presence of the Absolute as manifested in the persona of Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati, who wrote the commentary contained therein, and who showed me enough about the true nature of life to allow me to create a good one for myself. Then there's the sincere, if overly dramatic, Latin Lover of "Una Noche" who REALLY wants to get in that girl's pants! All these characters and more await you, and invite you to create your own stories for each of them and all of them together. If you come up with some good ones, let me know and I'll put them on the website (www.fredzilla.com).
