Okay, okay, so I'm just one guy. But in the studio, I'm an entire band. I play electric and 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, mandolin, bass, keyboards, and drums plus do all the vocals and write all the music. I'm self taught and don't read music except for maybe chord charts. Well maybe not entirely self taught-mom got me started since she was a guitarist/mandolinist herself. But she played by ear too so guess that's where I got it. Not that I didn't do my time in various bands. The last, Legacy, was a full time road band until 1983 when I finally got to a space in my life where I told myself there's got to be a better way than just playing covers for a living. And then I found digital recording. Way cool...........

Story behind the song
This instrumental came from my fascination with the universe and time. The scientific side has always peeked my interests and this song is a natural expression of that for me. The idea of using the mandolin was inspired by Led Zeppelin's "Battle Of Evermore"

All rights Reserved (recited) The Universe Countless galaxies bearing virgin light weaving through the continuum where gravity wells are twisting and suffused across time Infinity in motion ancient nebula frozen The photon memory of a violent end defined Stars incorporeal Microcosm, macrocosm Ages lost in the vacumn Older than old The quantum physical in defiance of all logic Where the sum of the total is less than the whole Adrift in the endless An intelligent awareness The flash of a match in a cavernous hole borne of singularity All matter expanding On through the lightyears To eternity's door
