(Personal Message From TYB)

Brothers & Sisters...

In these economically troubling, & seemingly, increasingly turbulant times, we as musicians & peace loving, free individuals (inspired by Dr. Ron Paul) felt compelled to attempt (via our God given, musical talents) to try & reintroduce, or in some cases, "introduce" people to the timeless message of "Peace, Love & Music" that was so prevalent of the 1960's, & so definitive of the Baby Boomer/Woodstock Generation.


To attempt this...

With the absolute highest of regard, we carefully combined audio from JFK's famous "Moon Speech" at Rice University in 1962, and the "Apollo 11" lunar mission in 1969.

We then attached the aforementioned audio, to our very own version of MacDermot, Rado & Ragni's, "Age Of *Aquarius" (using only the 1st verse) which was originally written for the 1967 musical "Hair", but was later combined by "The 5th Dimension" with another MacDermot, Rado & Ragni song,"Let the Sun Shine In", recorded as a medley, & released to become one of the biggest hits of 1969, "Age Of Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In".

We then added all of the above, as a uniquely powerful intro to our very own version of Joni Mitchell's 1969 classic, ** "Woodstock", originally made famous by "Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young" in 1970.

We're quite pleased with the outcome of this, the first track of our album, which we endearingly refer to as "APOLLO/*AQUARIUS/**WOODSTOCK", because we feel that it's timeless message of "Peace" is a kind of uniquely powerful call home, and we're hoping that resonates with "YOU" (our fans) & many others!

To Share A Few Symbolically Interesting Details:


1. Apollo = (JFK's 1962 space goal, to put a man on the moon which was realized by Apollo 11 in 1969, unfortunately after his violent assassination.) -
- Apollo, is the Greek God of music, poetry, oracles, sun, medicine, light & knowledge.


2. *Aquarius = (Galt MacDermot's Wonderous composition with James Rado & Gerome Ragni.) -
- Aquarius, is the astrological term denoting the advent of a new age of love & enlightenment.


3. **Woodstock = (Joni Mitchell's legendary 1969 composition, vividly depicting the Aquarian Exposition.) -
- Historically, the 1969 **Woodstock Music & Art Fair, was THEE "Aquarian Exposition" of "Peace, Love & Music".

___


We feel there is no greater music, that so significantly speaks to, & captures that powerful 1960's message of "Peace, Love & Music" as these songs do, which is exactly why we aspired to combine them.


So too, does this explain our taking the liberty, of proudly incorporating, "Artist" David Edward Byrd's (never used) original "1969 Aquarian Exposition/**Woodstock Poster" (which was released to public domain by the artist), into the artwork of our album cover. - www.david-edward-byrd.com/rock1-4.html .

The "MESSAGE" We Are Attempting To Convey is...

"Be the change you wish to see in this world" - Mahatma Gandhi.

Aspire for "PEACE"!

lyrics

"Apollo/*Aquarius/*Woodstock" - Lyrics.

* When the moon, is in the seventh house,
and Jupiter, lines with Mars,
then peace, will guide the planets,
and love will steer the stars...

___


** I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm *
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden.
