IN ARTISTS OWN WORDS:

Behind the Drawing(s)

A behind the stage view between two (2x2) Marshall Stacks (stencil spoken: TEENAGE HEAD. HAMILTON), Gord Lewis opposes/absorbs stage light(s), fortified with the guitar (Melody Maker; Gordie and Guitar). Yes! Teenage Head Pink is in the air… 

Gord’s regular solo spotlight came with ABRUPTNESS, countering without specifies: the beat, the tune, the melody, the dance, the song, the lyrics, as if on another Electric stage(left). Electric chording, Electric crashing, Electric crackling, Electric distortion, Electric loud, shattering ear drums, shifting, sustaining, striking, rough raw whipping hand, without improvising ABRUPTNESS - absolute and archaic, silence and broken silence amassed; non feed back feedback…….  feed back……………. feedback…………….. ..  …. … … .feedback.

These were not calculated song smooth melody guitar leads, like on record. Feet didn’t dance. Electric silences witnessed. Light(s)up fell uponignore perceiving sound.
