FLIGHT OF FANTASY ---
This song was written in the very early ‘70s as a political protest influenced by anti-war folk-rock ballads in the style of The Byrds, Barry McGuire, Buffalo Springfield, and others. It has remained essentially unchanged, the first and fourth verses have in retrospect an unintended but oddly prophetic character. Now the Twin Towers have fallen, and China threatens the world with hypersonic nuclear weapons. Who could have known? ---
My brother George provided rhythm accompaniment on this song. As a young, awkward, and inexperienced teenage guitarist he invited me to join his first garage band. I was 13 years old. That single act, that simple courtesy changed everything for me. It led to a life of playing and enjoying a variety of musical genres at many levels and in numerous venues. Now, after many decades I am grateful that he joined me in this project and added his talent to this musical adventure.
