Hello Harmoniums,
We had a good Independence Day, though, strange like everyone is now experiencing. Folks like us in the Northern Hem [especially Texas] are just trying to stay cool. Looked at the weather for our good friends in the Outback today and my how nice that seems right now!
We're busy working on a colossal new piece "Belle Journee".
Don't forget to pop out to Spotify to give us some spins when you can:

Greetings Harmoniums!
A big welcome to our new subscribers! Thank you so much for finding us and indulging our work. Spring here in Fort Worth TX has been a little chillier than normal but that's plenty fine as the summers here can be brutal so old man winter is welcome to stay a while or sat a spell as we say in the link. South.
I [Jon Charles Fortman] had a blast a little while ago recording/playing bass guitar here in our little home studio! Holy cow! Not my norm modus operandi at all! Who knew recording bass is such a blast though. It's for a new tune of mine for the group called "In The Blue White Crystal Giant Forest" for a future album and its title was inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's novel "The Sirens of Titan" from Chapter 8 where he describes [a fictional] version of planet Mercury.
Thank you all for all of your great messages and support and keep it coming. We so enjoy chatting with you when we can.

Greetings Harmoniums!
We had a great and productive Labor Day here in our little home recording studio affectionately (and accurately) known as "Little Mountain Sound" -our producer/manager/composer Jon Charles Fortman lives in Monticello. Brent Fortman, responsible for most of the lead guitar work on our first album, worked with Jon Charles Fortman on all things needed to begin capturing lead guitar on the new album beginning with the piece titled "The Battle of Virginia Wade" that will open the new album. Jon penned this piece many Labor Days ago but real progress was made on THIS Labor Day. Be sure to pop over to facebook and see our posts over there for some snippets:

Greetings Harmoniums,
Here in the States, we pause on this day to remember those who paid the ultimate price in the quest to remain free. Those that did so, gave artists like ourselves the freedom to create as we wish whenever we wish.
To that end, last month, our producer/composer, Jon Charles Fortman debuted a specially commissioned piece at the 2019 Alexei Sultanov Tribute Concert here in Fort Worth, TX. We invite you to experience that here on YouTube which begins at 05:00:
