The Piano

In 1797 were born both the beloved composer Franz Schubert (in Vienna) and the piano-maker Heinrich Steinweg (in Lower Saxony, Germany).

Steinway pianos are world famous.

I am lucky to get to play one built in 1933: the sound is rich and hauntingly beautiful!

The price tag on a new one: a quarter million euros!

  This first album Worlds Apart... 33 years in the making.  

  A musical meteor, blazing trails across the heavens, raging against the dying of the light...  

  Led by classically-trained rock musician and songwriter  Stephen James Lee, here is Stone Fabel's first album. 

  Years ago, never one of the cool kids, friendly but living a solitary life, Lee was spending hundreds of nights in a cabin in northern Ontario woods without power or plumbing, reading and communing with nature, playing guitar and flute, snowshoeing and growing plants and picking blueberries, meditating and writing songs by the fire...  

  Now, inspired by a wandering imagination from solitude and life at the cabin, then teaching band out west so loving

the wind instruments while crafting this album with professional musicians,

here is an alchemy of blue sky thinker music with new rock arrangements

-- throwing it out there to see who might like it... 

Worlds Apart is 67 minutes of fine studio recordings -- with gratitude, 

thank you to essential co-writers and contributors, guest musicians and friends: guitarist Bob Wegner, drummer Adam Bowman, sound designer Philip Strong, fiddler Daniel Lapp, drummer Dave King, Steve Lucas (bass),

--  this is interesting new music in classic piano rock style from the first gen x

with hope that this may be listened to, read like a book, as a whole album...
