Album Notes

If you have not been to fraglen.com, we have a website that describes who we are and brings you into our world. It's like a fairy tale, except it isn't. It's about life. It's like a mind game, but it isn't. it's about reality. It's like a maze or a labyrinth and you have to find your way through it. There are distinct ways to go and each person will choose their own path. If you click the hyper-link words and mouse-over the graphics you will go underground to a different place. our website is designed to make you THINK.

Think of The Lord of The Rings, Dante's Inferno, and Pilgrim's Progress, except it's none of those things. It's just you sitting in the dark in front of your computer screen surrounded by the invisible trying to touch the looking glass, trying to make your way down the yellow brick road.

J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) wrote: Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

Think about Joan of Arc and her convictions and the results of her actions. think about the movie "Braveheart" and blue paint on the face. Think about the movie "The Patriot" and following the flag of personal conviction. what are you willing to live and die for?

Dante (1265-1321) wrote: the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

Think about the movie "The Matrix." What exactly is inside your head? Where is Minerva or Athena? Where is true wisdom found? Do you know where you come from? Do you know where you are going? What is it that you are seeking? What is it that you want?

John Bunyan (1628-1688) wrote: Come, pluck up heart, let's neither faint nor fear; better, though difficult, the right way to go, than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.

Bring a cup of hoppin' java joe or something cold to drink and stay for awhile and roam around. see where you end up as you go through the deep dark forest of your mind. You may have to exit and come back after awhile.

If you do, make sure you drop some white pebble stones or a ball of string to find your way back to where you were. Hansel and Gretel dropped bread crumbs and ended up in another place. Beware of ginger bread houses. you may be eaten by wolf or witch. Just ask Little Red Riding Hood, Peter, or The Three Little Pigs. They have a story to tell.

You will also have your own odyssey in finding your way home. You don't always have to think that somewhere over the rainbow red birds rule even though since the cradle itsy-bitsy spider was preparing us for Sisyphus.

Let our website be a part of the crucible of your mind and heart. As the childhood lullaby goes: "We'll be jolly friends forever more."
