The House that Hathor Built
Well, with all the stuff going on, I'm still managing to plod along with "The Flower Chamber." It's a good thing I had no idea what I was getting into. After months of research, I started preparing for the visuals. At last I'm making some progress. This is a test rendering of the far-from-completed exterior of the House of Hathor. Some textures have been finished, but a lot more work needs to be done before I can use it. The gardens will need greenery etc. But I'm almost ready to actually draw Page One."The Flower Chamber" is taking shape
THE FLOWER CHAMBER is the working title of my new series, which stars Omaha as The Goddess Hathor Reborn, in a Domed City of the Future after the Great Economic Collapse, trying to make it work between Men and Women in an uncertain world, from an Egyptian palace under the dome where love is being dispensed for free.
This is a piece that is partly Science Fiction and partly allegory, and of course it is adults only.
After a lot of beginning research, I seem to have turned a corner. Now the story I believed on-and-off that I had, is starting to emerge, in big surprising bursts. There's a lesson here somewhere, something like, when something grabs you hard, stick with it and believe in it no matter how crazy it seems. Things that caused me to believe my story was totally absurd, have emerged as important plot points, and things that came up to stymie me have popped into the story with a meaning that I didnt even suspect until i did more research, and connections I made that i thought were foolish have turned out to have historical or mythological significance and belong in the story for reasons I only found out later. In the end, of course, i'll smile and do the cat thing, of saying "oh yeah, I meant to do that." When really, stuff just keeps falling in my lap.
Here is a promotional drawing of our star, Osanna (aka Hathor) in Her palace, which will appear on the back cover of Larry Welz's upcoming Cherry #23.
I will post developments as they occur.
Waller and Worley - Thanksgiving Eve
For this Thanksgiving, I offer up something from my archives. Two songs from Waller and Worley cca 1990-1991.
The first is Kate's version of Bob Franke's beautiful "Thanksgiving Eve." This was one of our favorite pieces, and here it is being performed live in the basement of Calgary Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis, known then as "The Other Toad Hall." Reed Waller and Kate Worley in Concert, as one of a series featuring local performers organized by our dear friend Howard Ashby Kranz.
Please enjoy this on your holiday.
Thanksgiving Eve
Whippoorwill
The second is our version of Robin and Linda Willams' "Whippoorwill," one of our favorite duets. This recording is part of a home recording done by Mike Levin on his portable DAT recorder, one night after I was diagnosed with cancer. Just in case, he said. The recording was of Kate and me, plus old bandmate Allan Standish, singing some of our favorites and originals.
I will be producing a restored version of this home concert tape from 1991 and hope to have it ready in time for this Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Reed Waller
