Nathaniel Dorsky and Fenrick Books present:
The Green and The Grey envelops you as it cradles you. Repetitive and melodic in the best possible way, this is a deeply nurturing musical experience.
"The Green and the Grey came about one evening in 1978 while visiting my oldest of childhood friends, Mark Birnbaum. Mark had purchased a toy organ that day at a garage sale and that evening I began to play around with its keyboard. Mark soon began tapping on his tabla-like drum set. We both had spent a lifetime listening to Indian classical music. Soon we were enjoying ourselves in that mode. I never thought of myself as a musician as such, but I must admit, a kind of wonder took place. Luckily, Mark had had the presence of mind to turn on his ancient reel to reel Wollensak and hang a microphone over the back of a chair. Hence, the good fortune of this 46 minute recording."
--Nathaniel Dorsky.
