Your host is Noel Paul Stookey, whose talents as a singer, songwriter, musician, and stand-up comedian are showcased for your entertainment. This party is decidedly informal. There's no need to dress to impress. No small talk required as you eye the passing tray of hors d'oeuvres with suspicion. No one trying to sell you insurance, or touting the latest can't-miss stock tips. We're all just friends here, old and new. The guest list is as varied as the eclectic offerings of our host. Musicians, technicians, computer nerds, and just plain folks. All assembled in the same place, at the same time, for the same purpose. To enjoy each other's company, and to listen to the universe presented from a slightly tilted point of view.
The format of this collection of recordings is somewhat reminiscent of the classic Radio Variety Show. There's good music to be found here, and thoughtful comedy, too. It's theatre-of-the-mind, and we all share the best seats in the house. Whether you're listening to it from the comfortable reality of your favorite easy chair, the traffic-induced insanity of your automobile, or amid the multi-tasking clutter of Cyberspace, you'll hear a celebration of everyday life, an escape from the madness, and a promise for the future.
There's good reason to celebrate this collection of songs and comedic monologues. In many ways, they've been more than thirty years in the making. Many of the musicians, engineers, and producers featured here also contributed their talents to Noel's first solo album, "Paul and" in 1971. While the music has changed and technology continues to evolve, their friendship and dedication to quality remain constant, despite long years of widely diverse projects and pathways. It's the convergence of these experiences, coupled with the new faces and voices (including Christine Lavin, folkmusic's pre-eminent contemporary womanly wit, joining Noel on "Let's Go To The Stars") that make these tunes so special.
The four songs share common threads in content and craftsmanship. They whimsically reflect upon the rapidly expanding world of technology, and offer unique and personal insight into what is, as well as what might yet come to be. Is the availability of rapidly evolving technology as import
