    Hey,

    Thanks for the connection !

     
    Tell me when are these times that I have dreams about
    Are they mere memories of better days gone by
    Unsubstantial fancies fated to fade away
    Or horizons waiting to be arisen to ? 

    And the fire I felt when this hope was brand new 
    When not even Everest could have kept me from you
    Has it burned its brightest or just given a hint
    Does it smolder for chance or consume its last fuel ?

    And the bridge you promised would serve as my footing
    Had I strayed from the path or was my step unsure
    Perchance that fall was meant to complete my healing
    So I'd see for myself what my strength could endure ?

    Weren't you the blue bird that had awaken me
    As I laid in the cold suffering of torment
    Sung me out of starving, loathing and lethargy
    Invited me to rise and resume my ascent ?

    As I now look forward to more of your magic
    Contemplating what so far had kept me bemused
    Just ahead are the times I have dreamt ecstatic
    I see the horizons and I am reinfused


    Best wishes,
    Chris

  • RABID SOW REJECT

    Well now, thanks to those clever people at BANDCAMP.COM, Shelfy & Minty have made it possible for you to enjoy the entire "TALES FROM THE WINGED EYEBALL" album in glorious streamin' high-fidelity S-T-E-R-R-R-R-R-E-E-O-O in the privacy of your own head (It's A Freaky Trip On 'Phones!). If you really like it, then you can HAVE IT FOR NOTHING in any darn digital format that takes yer fancy! Well, I never.

    Meanwhile, the resident player on the Rabid Sow MySpace now features four more tracks that didn't quite make it onto the album. Rejects, if you will. Except they're not bad at all.

Edible Suite

.. .. .. .. ..

Chris Wong Ba Hons.

Born In Cambridge UK. Studied music at Cambridgeshire College Of Arts And Technonlogy (now Anglia Polytechnic University or Anglia Ruskin or most probably something else by now)

Influences: From Bach to Basie, Pat Travers to Patrice Rushen, Ellington to Extreme

I have been a professional guitarist, bass guitarist, arranger, orchestrator, composer, and musical director since leaving college. As well as my own projects I have worked with other artists such as ..Phil Watts, Mark Rattray, with whom I toured for a couple of years and did summer seasons alongside Jaqcui Scott and Melanie Stace, ..Rox Clayton Scott, and Shaun Williamson. With Rox, along with drummer Marcus Bishop and guitarist Dave patrick, we have been writing and recording an album over the last couple of years, which is now available from Rox's own page and also for download from itunes, entitled 'This Is What I meant To Say'. Also work in an acoustic duo with Rox. Played bass on Dave Sinclair's album, and also on Don Mescall's 'Fuel For The Fire' EP. I am currently Toyah Willcox's musical director and guitarist and can be seen on the live 'Wild Essence' DVD. Check the official Toyah myspace page for upcoming shows. I also work with Toyah in The Humans along with REM's Bill Rieflin. We hope to release our recently recorded album later this year.

Alongside band work I work extensively in theatre. I have conducted numerous shows including productions of West Side Story, Kismet, Annie Get Your Gun, The Sound Of Music, Godspell, Guys And Dolls and Sweet Charity. Currently I work as Musical Director for one of the country's premier Pantomimes, in which I have worked with Shelia Ferguson, Martine McCutcheon, Shaun WIlliamson, Daniel McPhearson, Jack Ryder, Ryan Maloney, Dave Willetts, John Altman and Ben Nicholas to name but a few.

As Musical Director for 'Dave Lee's Happy Holidays', a childrens charity based in Kent, I have worked alongside many names from the world of variety, Brian Conley, Joe Pasquale, Gerard Kenny amongst others. Most recently, alongside shows with Toyah, I played guitar for a brief UK tour with Al Martino, and have just returned from a brief tour in Estonia with The Humans

I have been interested in jazz/funk/rock from a very early age and I would hope my own pieces from my recently completed solo album 'The Edible Suite' reflect all those influences. As a guitarist my heroes include such musicians as Pat Metheney, Larry Carlton, Joe Pass, Pat Travers, Steve Lukather, Frank Dunnery, Alan Holdsworth, Robert Fripp, Wes Montgomery - the list goes on and on! 'The Edible Suite' has been around on paper for some 20 years and only now do I have the technical knowhow to attempt recording it myself. It was very much a labour of love.
