Cross Road BluesBrutal, poetic and ultimately devastating, Cross Road Blues recreates one of the most compelling myths in American music: Robert Johnson’s alleged pact with the devil, hatched out at a crossroads one dark Mississippi midnight.
by David Walter Hall / music by Michael McHale
An epic new stage show
First performed as a student two-hander in 2003, and later receiving five-star reviews and sell out crowds at the Edinburgh fringe in 2005, the play has now been reinvented on an operatic scale. A new version, with the addition of an expansive choral score, performed by a twenty-voice choir accompanied by a six-piece acoustic blues ensemble was first performed at the Hackney Empire on 16th July 2009.

10 of 96 More ▼I posted a new original song called “Forever No Restraints.” It's the frist song on the Myspace music player.
I refer to it as cosmic blues.....but blues it ain't.
I used to do this song as a short solo acoustic piece, but I decided to turn it into a lengthy electric guitar jam and let my freak flag fly!
It has a strong Hendrix vibe, but is uniquely me….. Please drop by my page and have a listen!
I also posted a video of me doing the song as I recorded it, so even if the music player isn't working, you can check the song out in the video.

Apprentice Piece, Pezzo di apprendista,
Lehrlingstück, Pedazo de aprendiz.
L'Apprenti présente ce travail muet, naïf, et parmi un choeur silencieux (un choeur
complèt de gens qui sont énergiquement et physiquement présent mais
sonorement nul). J'apprends à être comme un apprenti.
L'Apprendista presenta questo lavoro senza parole, ingenuo, e fra un coro
silenzioso (un coro raccolto di persone che sono con vigore e fisicamente
attuale ma sonicamente nullo). Imparo a essere come un apprendista.
El Aprendiz presenta este trabajo mudo, ingenuo, y entre un coro silencioso
(un coro completo de personas que son presenta físicamente y energéticamente
pero sónicamente nulo). Aprendo a ser como un aprendiz.
Der Lehrling überreicht diese Arbeit wortlos, naiv, und unter einem schweigsamen
Chor (ein gesammelter Chor von Leuten, der energisch und physisch ist, überreicht
aber schall nichtig). Ich lerne, als ein Lehrling zu sein.
The Apprentice presents this work wordless, naive, and among a silent choir
