Now that Tammy is singing material for the upcoming Canvas Cd, and on Canvas' contribution to the Santana Tribute CD from Mellow Records (Santana's "Brightest Star", from the album Zebop!), Matt Sweitzer and I began to discuss a project to provide an expanded role for Tammy as lead vocalist. Tammy's Setup. I asked Tammy what her album should be about, and she said I want to do an album about Fairies. I wrote the lyrics to The Fairy's Wing, and narrated the story to her. She said I really like the story! Where did you get it? I was surprised, I made it up! I said. The story was based on real events, although told as an allegory. We submitted a very rough 1 minute demo of an earlier although unrecognizable version of The Fairy' Wing to Matt for his opinion and he said I want to play on it! Matt began as our drummer, but switched to Bass as John Swope came on board. Wait until you hear John's stunning drumming on Epiphanies! I then asked Matt to add some guitar, because he takes an entirely different approach than myself, and I feel that it widens the sonic palette. Matt's Gear. My son Dan played some of his hammond organ riffs for me that became the basis for the song, Howl. The original working title was Organ Harvest , and that probably contributed to the final lyrical idea about a Werewolf's bite. Daniel's Hammonds. Tammy had never tried to write a song before, but her electric piano compositions became the songs The Fairy's Wing, and Ogre, arguably two of the best song
