Written and initially recorded around 2015. Early Genesis flavor was striven for with the music I came up with. Lyrically, I had read a short story by John Barth called "Lost In The Funhouse," and wanted to come up with a similar storyline. "Rampart Ridge" was originally an acoustic piece on it's own, but I thought it might sound cool to link them together. It was my attempt to rewrite Led Zeppelin's "Black Mountain Side." It was in the key of D, but the guitar was capoed to F, as it was originally part of a collection of tunes, where a lot of songs were in the key of D so........ I wouldn't say the sound is perfect, but it's a work in progress at the least.
