Ear to 'ere - Bill Fleming and Friends
A collaboration between Musicians based in West Wales and USA
A Word From Bill Fleming Ear to 'ere has been a long, slow train a-comin'. The tracks run all the way from the North Georgia Mountains to the Cambrian
Hills of West Wales. The first cuts were recorded in early 2003 while Bush and his craven cabal were plotting the Iraq invasion
and I was planning to move the family overseas; the two events which inspired both Craig's song, "Blueprint for Casualty"
and Ralph's contribution, "Sir William's Garden";, respectively. Even then, with these first tentative tunes, I
was thinking that it might be possible to bridge the distance between Georgia and Wales culturally and physically through
the medium of music and by means of computerized recordng technology and give the American musicians and songwriters "I've
been lucky to have found" a chance to connect with their British and Welsh counterparts- in other words, have a pickin'
session in cyber space. Four years, a dozen trips across the Atlantic, the efforts of a score of artists and countless hours
recording, mixing and mastering in studios on two continents later, and, yo and behold, this engine is chugging down the Rheidol
Valley, out into the Irish Sea, through the North Atlantic fog ,onto the coastal plains of Georgia, across the Piedmont, coming
at you like a big old friendly face, grinnin' from Ear to 'ere.
