   Only problem if the style changes from Awesome to CRAP! Then it's time to   
   BACK UP and do it over, only the Right Way this time, and not only for   
   Music, but for everything!!!   
   I wrote a tune about that on the third album, Through The Eons:   
      
   11. Paradigm Return   
      
   verse1a   
   have you ever reckoned to ponder   
   how everything had once used to be   
   instead of going along and just wander   
   marching into the sea   
      
   ignoring warning signs of disaster   
   pretending there's no cause for alarm   
   accelerating ever the faster   
   head on into harm   
      
   prechorus1a   
   cause that's what you're expected to do   
   by those predisposed to control dominate and own you   
      
   verse1b   
   as they rule by coercion and terror   
   counting on mass hysteria   
   hoping no one spots the error   
   in their megalomania   
      
   proceeding as a fierce roaring lion   
   lusting after absolute power   
   sparing no effort at tryin'   
   their victims to devour   
      
   prechorus1b   
   and they call it a paradigm shift   
   while they shamelessly use every trick to rob us of our gift   
      
   chorus1   
   but if you don't really want to there's no need to have to take it   
   a lesson for everyone to learn   
   reality is just the effort that's put forth to make it   
   into a paradigm return   
      
   verse2   
   trading all that's good for what's evil   
   virtue being razed to the ground   
   wiped out like a crop by the weevil   
   so very few to be found   
      
   and this vileness is being called progress   
   while it's actually a deadly disease   
   a spiritual festering abscess   
   to end in decease   
      
   prechorus2   
   cause the destruction's been so very long planned   
   and so stupidly agreed to by fools who don't understand   
      
   chorus2   
   but you can still make a difference really doing something about it   
   to regain the Freedom for which we yearn   
   get off the path that leads to Hell in time instead reroute it   
   toward a paradigm return   
      
   bridge   
   and a much happier existence   
   if we'll do our part and offer up a genuine resistance   
   cause the time's running out and away   
   ever closer to the very last day   
   and we know what to do that it's gotta be true   
   else we'll end up the predator's prey   
      
   verse3   
   though the pattern's been here and for too long   
   the die's not been cast as of yet   
   still time to write us a new song   
   and remove the regret   
      
   restoring our BirthRight of Freedom   
   despite the enemy's lies that we'll fail   
   no matter how dreadful and fearsome   
   we'll be sure to prevail   
      
   prechorus3   
   because their time is short and they know it   
   but so do we and it's high time we all stand up together and show it let   
   everyone know it   
      
   chorus3   
   that there never was a reason why we ever had to take it   
   and restoration's what we'll strive for to earn   
   and nevermore to foolishly neglect or to forsake it   
   in our paradigm return   
      
   back to the way originally intended that it should be   
   instead of forever to burn   
   to realize the happiness and joy of how it could be   
   starting with a paradigm return paradigm return   
      
   > Often as the various artists that define a particular phase quit or die.   
   > Johnny Cash being a good example of that.  He wasn't old Country and   
   > Western, yet he wasn't Rock either. Rockabilly maybe some of that.  He was   
   > was his own thing.   
      
   His style definitely sounds country to me, and not rock & roll.   
   As for that silly term 'rockabilly, who's billy?, I've always regarded it as   
   the style of early rock & roll, as it was evolving from swing, then the   
   beatniks got to it, along with the greasers, but when the hippies got to it,   
   it's never been more Awesome!!!   
      
   > That's not really the same as some guys cutting something that sounds like   
   > contempory rock and just labeling it country.   
      
   Not only that, nowadays, people are more Plastic, Shallow, and Phony than   
   ever before and they care more about the Stupid 'label' than about the   
   Quality, or Lack thereof, They endeavor to put the label on!   
      
   > having one onstage and playing it in an appropriate style aren't the same   
   > thing.   
      
   The Eagles used a pedal steel through a fuzz effect, sounded amazing! And   
   their banjo picking style reminded me of Earl Scruggs' style.   
      
   > It's possible to play cliche 70's rock guitar licks on a violin.   
      
   Kansas did things like that, Awesome!   
      
   > Just home from today's dou.  Tired now.

   Still looking for a 2 tier keyboard stand for our duo, so I can add the DX7   
   on top and go for some really nice bass.
