Hey, it's been a while since I wrote to you about a Song from Twice Upon A Rhyme, my 1972 Album reissued on remastered vinyl by Whiplash/Sound of Salvation Records about a decade ago. But I just found out that "The Soft of Your Eyes," the song I wrote for Tina back in the late 1960s, was added to Jocelyn Romo's folk/psychedelic rock Heaven and Earth playlist on NTS Radio where it's been getting tons of play, alongside songs by Gerry Rafferty and Don Everly.
Meanwhile ... Peter Jackson's documentary The Beatles: Get Back is amazing and life-changing and I highly recommend it! I review all three parts here (written reviews) and here (audio podcast reviews).

Welcome Up Reviews and Interviews: - Jon Pruett says in Ugly Things Magazine that Welcome Up is "eight slices of interstellar delight".
- Joseph Neff says in The Vinyl District that Welcome Up "hits the ear as the best kind of long-delayed follow-up to a phenomenon of cultish proportions ... sounding like nothing else on the current scene."
- Taro Miyasugi says Welcome Up is "a stunning folk pop album with gorgeous late 60s elements like vintage velveteen cloth..."
- Evan LeVine observes about Welcome Up that "any fan of Twice Upon A Rhyme will be overjoyed by it... As otherworldly, mystical and far-out as the subject matter may be, the songs burst with love and warmth and humanity."
- in-depth interview about Welcome Up in Klemen Breznikar's Psychedelic Baby Magazine
- audio Bear Tones podcast in which I talk about Welcome Up and Twice Upon A Rhyme.
- I talk with John Anealio -- with whom I wrote "If I Traveled to the Past" and "Tau Ceti" -- about those songs on The Functional Nerds podcast.
Looking a bit into the future ... I may be doing another new album in 2022 ... stay tuned!
