FANTASIES. “Much madness is divinest sense.” Some of these pieces are inspired by poetry — “All Things Want to Fly” from Rilke, “Under the Hill” from Blake, “The lost traveler’s dream under the Hill”. Others, like “Allegheny Venus” and “Persephone” from Greek mythology, placing classical figures in contemporary, local settings. My own experiences in “Music of the Spheres”, listening to a summer outdoor concert, and “Shamrock Bar”, across from the Post Office parcel post depot. I worked there one Christmas season, unloading trucks. In between loads we would take alcoholic breaks at the bar. “Orangutan Dreams”. My alter ego as an aging primate, seen in strong contrast to the hugely vital red haired nude. “The old orangutan dreams of red hair, pink tits, ape arboreal love.”
