I'm speechless. I look up to heaven where dad is, Thank you dad. I wont fuck this up. I really do wish that we had a chance to tour. Thank you for helping me write and produce my next album. It will be dedicated to you. Makes a jack & coke to relax. I have so much to do. where do I start? Goes and gets the cell phone & calls up J.R.
I wont be able to sleep tonight but thats alright. my emotions are bipolar. as I walk down to the studio I grab the last songs Dad's & I were working on. They play over the speaker. it's hard to listen to but It will get better. he wouldn't want me to cry for him. I go and Get some paper & a pen and starts writing a note to dad. this is for you. I love you dad.
As the night goes on, the song playing is one called " One Last Breath" and dad sings. As I take my last breath, I call out to you but your not here, I've been hiding this secret & it's been hurting me, I wish I could call you to say goodbye but i'm out of time.
I can't listen to these songs anymore. So I go and get the phone to call J.R. DAMMIT J.R.Pick Up The Fucking Phone!
A Few days later...J.R Rhythm calls backHey kid, sorry for the late call. Marc's death has punctured all of us. But yet, we feel that his essence lingers within us. His spirit has ignited something BIG in all of us. You, the son, us the friends, have come together in the only way we know how to celebrate and honor a man who helped us all. By reuniting The Bards with you helming the band. Yes, it will be a titanic effort and we will have some mountains to climb both in studio and with the fans/critics but We will over come.
You are probably wondering what we have in mind but before we get to that I think it is imperative that we honor your father and our friend by announcing that The Bards will fight another day, but in a new way. Fantasy Rock was Jack Fate and Marc's thing but you the 3rd generation will be a new side of The Bards.
When your father took the helm with The Bards he made a impact by coming us with our 4 disc epic album, BEYOND THE INNER COSIC FANTASY ALBUM. Marc loved doing the project, we all did and we always had another 4 disc album in the back of our minds. It would focus on the 4 elements, Fire, Water, Wind and Ice. We would love for us to come together and complete this 4 disc album in honor of your father. The albums would be a different sound, (sounds like Jakob Dylan meets Pink Floyd), an epic idea that has been sitting on our burning minds for decades!
What say you? Do you want to pursue this idea or do you want to make a smaller project first?
