Album Notes

This double-CD incorporates several remixes from 'Crossing The Bridge,' a duo project with Mike Link (also available on CD Baby), along with new original music, remixes of recordings from several Milwaukee-area bands, (and nationally-known Paul Cebar & The Milwaukeeans), and contributions from many musicians, with Harvey Taylor's spoken words (poems, song lyrics) included in all but one of the 48 tracks (an instrumental called 'A Story For Scheherazade,' featuring Taylor's trumpet, which appears in many other tracks, as well).

The CDs are a follow-up to a book of the same title, with many of those poems, stories, and song lyrics enhanced with a highly-eclectic range of styles...the whole thing can be summarized as a modern version of 'War and Peace.'
