notes

G~I Strantz from WolfFair present:

Commedia Dell'arte on a sound stage where we all meet and display our varicolored creations woven together by love, indifference, laughter, tears, audacious aplomb and humble intercourse. In such a theatre, everyone is a player...since Sayers and attentive Ears each must play out their respective parts.

Sometimes our exuberance allows us to have Wings & Dirty Faces...all playful and innocent...that later become tormented by Night Shadows.

Woman...an Unfinished Story...all lovely and perfumed is duly honored for her many endowments.

Scoundrel laden is our indifference then, when viewing her with eyes askance as she becomes transformed into a bag-lady bent low by capricious twits merely Craving Images. Beware the dance of fools unworthy of bearing witness to her decent into the bowels of a city.

Blue Light Theatre is presented with a desire to engage you...to inflame in you passion of a Gypsy with Budapest ways.

You may further play out your roles by sending accolades or rotten tomatoes to us at WolfFair:

http://wolffair.com or wolfchen@charter.net or at CD Baby.

What ever you do, play your many parts with grace...and the world will open onto you.

*****************

Those who take Blue Light Theatre home with them will know that we are fascinated by the concept and process of bending and blending various musical expressions. We also enjoy working with various performing artists who bring their individual characters to the stories...like in a Greek play.

Speaking of Greeks, we greatly enjoy the music of Mikis Theodorakis, Maria Farantouri, Nana Mouskouri and Soula Birbili. The vocalist on our track, Blue Light Theatre...Angeliki Bazigou (Angel Bee)...is from Greece and has performed with Mikis Theodorakis.

Also performing in Blue Light Theatre is Yiorgos Kaloudis...a Rhodes scholar and musician extraordinaire who embraces with an engaging personality. Devin Thomas also brings a haunting materialization that will stalk theatre sprites.

Everyone who really loves musical journeys should also explore the works of Theodorakis and other early school New Wave Greek artists. They will bring you into a musical world of passion that will engage you forevermore. If you don't believe this after listening to them, beware being embalmed by a culture that gives testimony to the death of souls.

We recently experienced the performances of the Lengersdorf brothers (Jörg und Heinz) from Germany. If you enjoy music played with superb technique and engaging emotion...check them out. You'll be well rewarded.

Gene R. Strantz is an attorney who has always found inspiration from the arts. He believes that art, in some form, should be required in elementary school...since the arts develop discipline, creativity, and reasoning.

Feeling somewhat nostalgic a few years ago, he visited the farm where he grew up in Centerville, Minnesota...only to discover that it had been metamorphosed into a state park. Wow! From sweat to fete with nary a regret...well perchance a wound or so along the way.

Irma H. MacCallum Strantz is a lassie originally from Canada who loves nurturing her rose garden and playing classical piano...when she is not involved with behavioral research in areas of health.

The call of the Wild West was a siren song indeed...and we've planted roots in California.

Do we love animals? Of course we love animals...birds, mountains, evergreens, you...the whole magic of our Planet Earth.

  • The way you write really catches the audience’s attention and sets the mood!
    author: Amy Dopson

    I was looking at one of your sites. An opening statement, regarding nature, sent chills up my spine! The way you write really catches the audience’s attention and sets the mood!

  • Blue Light Theatre is music that wraps itself around the mind.
    author: Vlad

    Craving Images deeply touches the mind and heart. The music on Blue Light Theatre must be listened to many times to enjoy all of its nuances.

  • Spiders Zero...Skywalkers Ten
    author: Katya

    This music of G~I Strantz made me feel like a sleuth in search of adventures who became confronted on multiple levels. Curiosity became intrigue that morphed into love, anger, impatience, tolerance, wisdom, amour, laughter, tears…a kaleidoscope of thoughts and emotions. This music is not for spiders and stump thumpers, but skywalkers are well rewarded.

  • Touched My Heart
    author: Ado

    Woman...an Unfinished Story...touched my heart. Wonderful! It is a perfect song to re-center my morning.

  • True Character Has Many Faces.
    author: Beauchance

    Delightful, thought-provoking storytelling presented with melodies that enchant. Unlike so many CDs that contain mostly sound-alike songs, Blue Light Theatre presents various characterizations that entice the listener's mind and emotions like a rendezvous at autumn harvests.

  • Captivating, yet Bizarre
    author: Losangelite

    Everyone should listen to something like this at least once. If you've ever had any doubts about your musical preferences, this will put you in check. Very similar to the music you heard in your head on that acid trip gone horribly wrong. But honestly, if you were never to listen to this, you could never recognize that lawyers were writing music in the last potential hippy bastion of northern L.A. Angel Bee's voice sounds heavenly as she sings the most mundane, yet freakish, lyrics I've ever heard. This music makes you wonder what kind of a person you would come out as, after severe head trama. I can't begin to tell you how important it is that we live in a country where this kind of thing can happen. I highly recommend this to everyone, at least once! This is what legal representation is all about!

  • Blue Light Theatre...invocation through poetry.
    author: Valentine

    Robert Graves had a wonderful way of explaining...actually, invocation through poetry. You've done that with "Blue Light Theatre"...painted an extremely vivid picture.

  • Blue Light Theatre. Beautiful. Drivin' 'em crazy at work playing it.
    author: Star Cloud

    Blue Light Theatre. Beautiful. Drivin' 'em crazy at work playing it. Your artwork is truely awesome. And I would be most intrigued to read the rest of your novel. You are very talented. I would love to purchase your CD. My hubby was playing duets at a Gathering with Douglas Blue Feather. Doug just won the NAMMY for best independent recording. I think of you with much fondness when I listen to your soul songs.
