about

"Piece of Work" is a musical tribute to the unutterable complexity of human nature. The Shakespeare quote masterfully delivered by Sir John Gielgud "What a piece of work is a man ..." is included with some irony but with equal parts sincerity and hope. We are a piece of work in both sense. At times, we are animals, whose depravity seems to know no bounds. At others, we are poised just a little below the gods, capable of such incredible passion, empathy, resolve, courage and strength that future generations can scarce believe that such people ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. So, we hear from JFK, MLK and Niel Armstrong (even though his famous line was totally botched ... it was supposed to have been "A small step for one man ... one giant leap for mankind ..." but he was apparently too stoked from, you know, being the first human being to set foot on the moon to remember his lines. Still, guess it beats what he could have said "Holy f***ing s**t, I'm on the f***ing moon!" Yeah, that would definitely have been worse...). That aside, this was also my opportunity to feel like the kind of guitarist I might be if David Gilmour, Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson ever had a musical love-child ...
