Thanks to all in advance for listening & Thanks to DU!

It's time for a semi-seasonal announcement about my original musical work called The Parable. If you've already seen this before, please forgive as I alert newcomers.

The Parable is a concept piece (about as long as an album side) about a time in the not-too-distant future when a theocratic government has taken over the U.S. just in time for "the 2nd coming." I wrote, produced & recorded it myself, performed on the drums, sang, and played along with a plethora of other fine musicians.

It is available to stream in it's entirety for free here:

I would be remiss if I didn't also say that it is available for sale as a download at Amazon, my space, and I tunes, among others, through the same link.

Mods, I would never advertise any work that was for sale unless it was available to listen for free, so thanks for giving me the public forum in which to express myself. For those of you who like music, if you like progressive rock, tom waits, the beatles, david bowie, captain beefheart, firesign theater, pink floyd....etc...this might be your thing. Please stop by and give it a K&R, a listen, a "share," a "like," A comment........anything to help make it go viral. ;)

Thanks, everyone, and thanks especially to those of you who support independent music!

PS: If you're having problems hearing the track, try clicking in the upper right hand corner to activate the player.

1. Shameless self promotion!!

As a musician, I gotta give this a K&R! Good luck!
I'm on a dial-up and can't listen, but congrats on all the work.

2. I really want to listen to this,

but this particular concept always freaks me out. Before I enter, will your music scare the crap out of me? Would a mind-altering substance help?

3. when has it not?

5. Good point...

:hippie: I think I'll go there now and take my chances with your creation. I'll check back later with my thoughts and impressions.

8. No, thank YOU.

I don't have a lot of discretionary income, but I might just have to buy your download. It's a good place to put some of my Alaska Permanent Fund dividend. :)

I really liked that last song. It was a reprise from earlier, right?

I used to play a lot of music myself (I'm a flutist, love to improvise), but it's been years, and I'm sure I'm very rusty now. These days I go to photography for my creative outlet.
