29. Prelude #6

I acknowledge credit not otherwise indicated,

(Review of) Variety Backlash. March 2, 1989

Primal (not primitive) beckoning back to a pre-techno era.

Yet, a throw-ahead to an age of self examination in an era

of modern sophistication.

Peter, as always, your material is a refreshing breath of

fresh air in an often-polluted environment of pompous

intellectuousity. You seem to write for the pleasure of its

creation. The beauty of your songs lie not in any

simplicity of structure, but rather the depth of self

examination you delve into.

I believe a universality is created when one explores a

common denominator. Fear, love, hate, anger, frustration, a

sense of wonderment appear to be primary figures in your

writing.

Peter, your exploration into the human psyche is as

literary as the ancient writings of Aristotle, Plato, thru

Shakespeare to Kafka and Mann. Your instrument is the scale

of the piano. The vehicle is a song.

Your friend,

Alan

Willows in the Wild West

1. Trailing: This is a Run Away from the Relationship Song.

2. Pet: This song documents a failed attempt at keeping distance between "master" and "pet."

3. Stay With Me: Is there any reasoning in this request?

4. Willows Instrumental stages toward breaking loose.

5. But Not Forgotten: The singer reinterprets the old cliche, out of sight, out of mind.

6. Birthday Baby: The lineage continues right on past the aborted generation in this song.

7. Summerset: The funeral's over. It's time to relax on the hammock in the August heat.

8. Purely incidental: A stroll around the garden.

9. Wish A word: If you don't speak your mind, others will

assume their wishes are yours.

10. Common pool: In the bathhouse is the tide pool of life.

11. Poverty row: The Republic Pictures Movie Lot, revisited,

or is it just the East Village.

12. Wake Up in the Same Dream A Married Person's

Cruisin' Song from a poem by Susan Davidowitz

Poverty Row (The instrumental tracks)

Can't Get Enough: Sung by Monica Dizozza.

You Hurt Me: Sung by Maria Guccione.

SHIVER AND SHAKE

1. Out at Bay: You left me stranded out here and my fondness and admiration for you just grows.

2. Old Again, Young Again: As did Anne Rice on the dedication page of her Mummy book, I direct your attention to the novel, She, by H. Ryder Haggard.

(Four track version)

3. Pushy (Aren't we all?) (Four track version)

4. Common Pool: In the bath house we find the tide pool where self-contained life packets congeal and disperse. (Four track version)

5. Crime Wave: The overflow comin' from an undertow causes the crime wave. A vocally abusive version from the sound of this recording.

6. No Sa Mai/The Way International: After the nonsense words comes the bidding farewell at the work place. (This particular recording features my father near the end of it telling me I have a phone call.)

7. The Moth Signal: Thomas Hardy's infidelity poem set to music. (a four track version)

8. Without a Word: Everyone is old here. This boy's father is dead, he stands to inherit something, and all he wants is his best friend. (A four track version)

9. Debbie Dotson's extended vocal of Queen of the Hearts Club, from Richard Vetere's Paul Ratz Show.

10. St. Paul Lady: Tony Evangeliste wrote lyrics about a girl in every city. Back vocal and then percussion: Tony.

11. Wish a Word (performed on an ancient 55 key piano).

12. Birthday Baby (4 track version with alternate vocal)

Clarification: This zombie trance song extends the act of fetal abortion to fellatio.

Mozart excerpt. The Abduction from Seraglio.

"We have to make a tape for Dan Schwartz"

1. Suffer Song, first recording. Lyric by, and Vocal with, Mary Robinson.

2. Babies (Have you seen my Baby?) Early recording. I was overwhelmed at the time but this song should have two parts. It begins with the bragging of one of the two babies, and ends with the suggestions of an observant airborn hawk.

3. Beached (Lunar forces bring two bodies together on the beach during low tide after midnight.)

4. I said I would/I'll never forget him. (A "Shoot the Piano Player" ending came later.)

5. Only You. (A barren landscape.)

7. Without a Word

a) Birthday Baby

b) Poverty Row

c) Resumption Prayer

d) Pet

e) The Barbara Broadcast (My Elton John take on Fred McMurray, responding to Ms. Stanwyck in Double Indemnity).
