<< She speaks of HOSL as a mistery, a riddle
that she leaves to the listner to solve. Something like that. >>
Here's what the liner notes say:
"This is a total work conceived graphically, musically, lyrically and
accidentally - as a whole. The performances were guided by the given
compositional structures and the audibly inspired beauty of every player.
The whole unfolded like a mystery.
It is not my intention to unravel that mystery for anyone, but rather to
offer some additional clues:
"Centerpiece" is a Johnny Mandel - Jon Hendricks tune.
John Guerin and I collaborated on "The Hissing of Summer Lawns". "The Boho
Dance" is a Tom Wolfe-ism from the book "The Painted Word". The poem, "Don't
Interrupt The Sorrow" was born around 4 A.M. in a New York loft. Larry Poons
seeded it and Bobby Neuwirth was midwife here, but the child filtered thru
Genesis at Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan, is rebellious and mystical and
insists that its conception was immaculate.

I would especially like to thank Myrt and Bill Anderson, North Battleford,
New York, Saskatoon, Bel-Air, Burbank, Burundi, Orange County, the deep, deep
heart of Dixie, Blue, National Geographic Magazine, Helpful Henry the
Housewife's Delight - and John Guerin for showing me the root of the chord
and where 1 was."
