New Favorite Band............

For several months now a good friend of mine has been telling my philosophy group about a band he really loves. He really knows music and once had a band called Ebenezer Church, he can't be stumped on anything of the rock nature as he knows it all. His passion had set me out in search of this band that he so loves. Being in the panhandle of Oklahoma presents a challenge out side of the Amazon connection to buying anything but mainstream music at the local Wally world. So delighted was I to find out that my college freshman son had several of their albums and although he likes them he thinks Dream Theatre is a better progressive rock band. I've now had several weeks to take in three of their albums and can honestly say I love them. I was really astonished to learn that they have been around more than 10 years and I had never before heard of them. Porcupine Tree is the band and I have In Absentia, Deadwing, and Coma Divine and so far Blackest Eyes , Lazarus , and Trains top the list of my favorite songs. They are extremely talented and their songs can be appreciated on so many levels. I'm still trying to grasp some and still trying to experience their depth while just enjoying the music. I am here now at this point in my life. I still marvel at the fact I can experience new joys that others may never know. God Bless Us All!!! How many other good things are out there waiting to be discovered? It gives me great hope and wonder that there may be hundreds and possibly thousands of things I have yet to discover and enjoy, here's to living!!!!!!! The more mind blowing thing is that all these things together can't hold a candle to the pleasure of spending an eternity in God's presence....... .. . . . . .. . ....
