Album Notes

Miss Diana and Dr. Jay met at a music store and married three weeks later. An image momentarily frozen in time pictures Dr. Jay beaming, a judge staring wide-eyed into space and Miss Diana looking at Dr. Jay with a little bit of concern. That was a few years ago (two spent in Europe), about 300 original songs, at least 5000 club dates and somewhere around 3062 mornings of Miss Diana sitting across a breakfast table watching Dr. Jay eat corn flakes, smoke a hand-rolled cigarette and smile at her pretty face - there’s usually a bead of milk dripping down Dr. Jay's chin. Album Notes: there are two things to be said about this CD. firstly, i must acknowledge my debt to blake's book, "the marriage of heaven and hell" - which i read several years ago. the savor of our lyrics - in some obscure way - was suggested to me by him, though he used his for a different and most ingenious purpose. we have, with less originality but (i hope) equal propriety, transferred sibylline shadow into song. the second thing is this. i beg the listener to remember that these songs are fantasy. they do have - or we intended them to have - a moral. but the transmotal conditions are solely imaginative supposals; they are not even a guess or a speculation at what miss diana or i may actually think, feel or do. we intended them to be 'mokita' - from a papas new guinea language meaning, "truth that we all know, but agree not to talk about". as always, all the voices were executed to a conclusive detail by miss diana. i myself played the instruments, produced, arranged, engineered and recorded the whole lot at the ice creame factory. the songs are © mmviii jay worth & diana leigh allen usa, uk. published through prazin' music, bmi. if you want to contact us, here's how: go to drjaymissdiana.com and start clickin'. enjoy, dj.
