This is a song by my band/recording project called Green Sparkle Frog...

[GReedDiamond]

...this is the last thing we released in late 2019.

I'm pretty sure most of you looking at this have not heard this.

If you have, my apologies.

Also, Zeke the Sheik, from the 2012 CD, totally available on YouTube for free.

Plus, We Can Live In Paradise

We are supposedly working on a "children's record" for release sometime in the undefined near future.

1. Excellent!

Great early Genesis vibes but with its own unique thing.

Lots and lots of work went into this and I really appreciate it!

3. Are you on guitar, then?

Looks like you’re running with the right crowd, regardless.

I love an eight-and-a-half minute song that doesn’t feel anywhere near that long! Compelling music can be like that.
