Sifting through the ashes of our Altadena home, after the Eaton fire in Jauary 2025, I came across the tuning pegs of my beloved Maton guitar. Nearby, my Roland amplifier -- treasured possessions buried in the bedroom closet when I switched to cello during the pandemic.
Elsewhere in the ash, the filing cabinet, and all the poetry I'd ever written. The plan to one-day convert into music -- lost forever. The mementos and projects of my life... reduced to five inches of stardust.
These life-changing events garner our resolve. The indiscriminate obscenity of a fire is the crucible from which a phoenix arises. I reached out to hope hazy... an artist and producer... to seek her help. The process, I called Alchemy's forge - where love is transformed into gold. Thus, Al Forge was struck.
The first song, ' The Girl on the Plane', was written for my wife, Dr Abby Allwood, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Abby is the NASA JPL Principal Investigator for the PIXL instrument on the Perseverance rover on Mars. Together, we researched the earliest un-contested evidence of life on Earth, published in Nature in 2006. Our life together has been remarkable and is chronicled in the epic single that breaks more rules than it follows. It is not for everyone... indeed, it's for my wife! 😉
This was the first of 14 songs in various stages of production. My ambition is to establish a contemporary crooning style that channels Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presly into the new millennium.
