Dream Song #39 31:37

about

This performance at the 2019 Lines of Flight in the Port Chalmers Pioneer Hall turned out to be our last with Peter Stapleton, who passed away about a year later. There is an excellent video of this on the Black Editions Group website. If you want to have the audio in a top-grade format, we offer you this. It was fitting that the double LP 'Dragging Her Wings of Rusty Knives' came out around the same time. There was a lot of retrospecting to be done.

So…
we will blow our best,
our sad wild riffs come easy in that case,
thinking you over,
knowing you resting, who was reborn to rest,
your gorgeous sentence done. Nothing’s the same,
sir, - taking cover.
