Having conquered the genre of Jewish heavy metal, I now move on to Arthurian heavy metal, and I'm not talking about plate armo(u)r.
For those of you not familiar with my work (i.e., the entire world minus maybe a dozen people), for the moment I write music under the name Hopalong Ginsberg. In the future I hope to write it under a cute redhead.

In my arms you are safe forever
Though all of the world may burn
Stay by my side, as apprentice and bride
All my secrets arcane you will learn
A wise man may yet be a fool
When soft hands touch his face in the night
And promises made in a dark forest glade
Will vanish like the dew in the light
This is the seduction of power
The contempt that desires to rule
Thus my love did become my betrayer
And the artisan became the tool
And so did I teach her my secrets
And so did she learn, and learn well
And when she had learned, and her magics yet burned
She imprisoned me with my own spell
Entombed in my prison forever
I accept my just fate as my due
For the wizard who seeks to be Merlin
Must inevitably meet his Nimue.

“Listen — strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives
from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!”
Oh no. Not that. Please.
1 cup Neil Young
2 cups Moody Blues
Mix well and you get Moody Young Ginsberg.
The cat with the guitar was superb!
When we die, do we haunt the sky?
Do we lurk in the murk of the seas?
What then? Are we born again?
Just to sit asking questions like these?
I know, for I told me so,
And I’m sure each of you quite agrees:
The more it stays the same, the less it changes!
And that’s the majesty of rock
My two biggest fans!

Very interesting recipe.
Re the cat: It’s the claws. Natural fingerpicks.
You need to be working on a sex farm.
“Having conquered the genre of Jewish heavy metal”
any links for that?
Natural talent!
He is just awesome.
Metal that actually sounds like music, ancient legend, touching lyrics. I think I’m in love!
(Sounds like the recording equipment could use some upgrading. But to be fair, I have hyper-sensitive hearing, so it might not be noticable for most people.)
You mean
Having conquered the genre of Jewish heavy metal …
wasn’t first?
He’s a better MIDI editor than guitar player, but don’t tell him that.
Your use of the word glade just sparked thoughts of Spinal Tap’s all.
