I need your help. I really, really can’t decide if Prodo-1‘s countdown belongs at the end of this song. It’s supposed to parallel one of the final chapters of The Lives of Dexter Peterson where the Gale Odyssey is about … Continue reading →

Okay, okay, I’m a Pink Floyd fan. Sue me. Well, actually, there’s nothing actionable in any of this arrangement, so you can’t sue me! HA! In any case, this one’s a little note of patience for Dexter as he finds … Continue reading →
