Grant, don’t listen to the new Morrissey record again when you could be listening to Halcyon Phase or Sills & Smith instead! πŸ€—πŸŽΈhttps://halcyonphaseband.com/home

I read the review. You provided your assessment of the album, including the quality of the songwriting (words & music) and instrumentation.

Sills & Smith - Tornado Alley
Sills & Smith - Tornado Alley YouTube video by Sills & Smith

β€œβ€¦A mighty wind
Ripped and tore
And flattened
It all to the ground

And the rain
Fell in buckets
Rushing
Like a river
Flooding the town…”

That time our Sills & Smith album Maps - Burned or Lost was reviewed in print in Progression magazine on the same page as a Chris Squire release! Awesome!

Rest in peace to Terry Watkinson of Max Webster. Terry wrote and sang Let Go The Line, my favourite Max Webster tune. So great! (Frank) youtu.be/II8uJi21i04

The most important thing singer-songwriters can do is promote the work of other artists we enjoy and admire. We all want our own music to be heard and shared. And we should continue to champion singer-songwriters and bands, especially those who deserve a wider audience. (Frank)

That’s fabulous! I am big fan of Frightened Rabbit. Sad there will be no more music from that band, because of Scott Hutchison’s death.

A Fever Dream by Halcyon Phase
A Fever Dream by Halcyon Phase YouTube video by Halcyon Phase

In the midst
Of a fever dream
You and I
Caught up in
A summer scene

The first light
Would reflect
Off the dew
On the shore
Near the cabin where
I took you…

Is The Mirror Reflecting You?, by Sills & Smith from the album Echoes in Time

Is the mirror
Reflecting you now?
Or is that merely
A sad distortion
Of who you once
Were?…”

β€œβ€¦But they don't come
Knocking anymore
Thick dust in the yard
Cakes the old

Years of neglect
Peeled paint
Off the bright

Annie, I don’t have problem with Pink especially but it is inexcusable that Jethro Tull is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! (Frank)
