About 2 -1/2 years ago I met Joe King (guitarist extrodinaire) at Mixposure and asked if he'd like to do a song together. He agreed and laid down this track. I added the vox melodies and lyrics. Many were writen while swimming in my pool on a few hot summer days. No connection!

Wow, Henry, that's a fine monster rocker, extremly beautiful. As a big fan of different prog bands like Rush and Yes I feel that your style is a fine "best of both worlds combination". Cheers to you and your great band, and let me tell you, that you're quite a brilliant singer too!

Prog rock at its best! Am I only one who hears early Genesis here? Fantastic song. Everything is right in there and nothing is excessive or out of place. Wow.

Now that I've had a better chance to listen.....I'm hearing quite a bit of Rush influence in the music. Some awesome guitar and bass work. Very solid drumming. And a very difficult canvas to paint your vocal line on too. Cuz, very superbly done I must say. Your vocal and writing expertise really show the high levels at which you work. Outstanding from all perspectives!! ~Blake
