written by Shaunna Hall, inspired by the Chabot Science & Space museum in Oakland, CA, and a friend who was just about to bottom out on over-indulgence. A cautionary tale. Belita cut her vocals in the old Peach Tree hotel in Atlanta, CA, and Kendra cut her's in a Los Angeles hotel room, I can't remember which one.
Lige Curry cut this bass line in a Ramada Inn in Huntsville Alabama, where we were waylaid for a week by a hurricanes in Florida. Lige recorded this, as well as his parts for Sweet Leef 2006. He did two takes, and I kept the first take, as it was played. Bernie Worrell was coming in and out if the room giving his two cents throughout the session. Another true artistic collaboration with the P-Family..

Nebula Star

c2001 Haute Doggerel Music
Just another Jovian day
in a plutonic relationship
Heilospheric radio interference
primordial solar disappearance
Orbiting pets
bipolar jets
juicy astro-nomical assets
Nebula Star
hang on to your priceless jewels of wisdom
keep them in a shiny box
you must hold them close
or you will see your diamonds turn to
dust, dust, dust, dust
She was a star
of the nebula variety
full of gas and rapidly expanding
filled to the brim
the future looked grim
how on earth was the girl still standing?
So, how long can she go
without blowing?
exploding?
crash landing or over flowing?
Nebula Star
hang on to your priceless jewels of wisdom
keep them in a shiny box
you must hold them close
or you will see your diamonds turn to
dust, dust, dust, dust
