Subcutaneous Sinsick Blues

I finished the music for this video nearly a month ago, but scheduling the filming, inking the cards, and post-production hassles delayed the thing until now. And, wouldn't you know it? Things are falling apart so fast in this hellish landslide called The Episcopal church that much of the content is already outdated! No worries - another song will follow hard on its heels.



The lyrics are posted here.

The music only (mp3) can be found here.

Liturgi-Kool™

Since all the other Instruments of Unity within Anglicanism have apparently failed, I humbly offer these new products which I've just invented. Liturgi-Kool^TM ... first name in really cool liturgical garments. Finally, something upon which the entire Anglican Communion can agree!

Too Sad for Comment

The recent Attempted Deposition of Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan has me too sad to comment. I thank all the faithful Anglicans who have already said the right things about what this was and what it means going forward.

So, from me, something happier! Here is a video of the world's largest Radio-Controlled aeroplane! B-29s are lovely, aren't they?

Hieronymus Bosch Sculptures!!!

This is the day I've been waiting for! I am so buying this!!



There are 3 pages of Bosch sculptures to be had, here!

The Paisley Lampray

I painted this Electric Dreams Lampray body last December for the man many consider to be the Supreme Commander of all Thingie Slot Car collectors ... Switzerland's Edo Bertoglio.

Here is Edo's write-up of the car, which now features a chassis built by Steve Kempson of England.

Behind Coloured Glass

This song is by my Tyler, Texas-based band, School of the Prophets, and was recorded all the way back in 1991. Does that make it Classic Rock?

I never get tired of listening to Paul Dunn's wailing guitar on this track.

The Greatest Unintentional Gospel Proclamation in Pop/Rock

To me, this has always been the greatest rendering of the Gospel message into the pop/rock genre. It captures the Fall (with Ivor the Engine Driver standing in for the Serpent), Confession/Repentance, and Forgiveness. The best part is the chorus of "You are forgiven!", which comes at the end, like the maddest peal of the bells of heaven.



Confessions comes at around 5:38, and Absolution at about 6:03 ...

I can't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I back in your arms?
Away from all harm?

It's like a dream to be with you again
Can't believe that I'm with you again

I missed you and I must admit
I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
And later with him, had a nap

You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (etc.)

You are forgiven
