NEW BIRTH OF MAN is an ongoing phantasmagoric musical adventure. It started on a whim when Bart set up his reel-to-reel tape recorder on the front porch of his Country Club Terrace home in Winchester Virginia and invited Mark to join him in some spontaneous song-making.  Don’t worry about the lyrics, he said, just sing from your diaphragm. Diaphragm? Mark asked. What, are you a singing coach? OK, Bart said, sing from your heart, that viscus of cardiac muscle that maintains the circulation of the blood. Just let it out, be at one (atone) with the flow. What happened, you ask? IMPROMPTU LYRICAL FREE ASSOCIATION!!! GARAGE GESTALT... “NBOM” was born. We pick out chords, turn on the recording machine, and let fly....  Herein lies the purest of pregnant pauses, that moment when the tape is recording and no words have been set down on paper, no motives, no predilections save a history of lifetime impressions, like the hammer marks in a steel drum. What happens is sometimes crude, sometimes disjointed. At other times a song comes out that tells a story, speaks a truth... Sometimes its edgy, sometimes it sucks. Sometimes its magical, but it’s always-         A new song by the NEW BIRTH OF MAN
