BEFORE BEYOND WAS NOW!
Rock Opera Heavens Cafe' follows the life of our reluctant hero from his hellion days as the Classical Man (LAST SMILE SUNSHINE), a cocky arrogant pleasure seeker, to his after-life destination Heavens Cafe'. Here he meets himself..yes!...in several different ways! Who he just was....Classical Man/..who he is now...Lark/..his sassy and sexy Guardian Angel/...his alter ego Kral/....and the lovely potential of his future back on earth as the beautiful Robin......
THE OPERA!
John Miner's Rock Opera "Heavens Cafe'" is a fasinating blend of rock's power , the delicacy of beautiful songwriting, the visual arts and the harnessing of theatrical innovation with the avante' guarde. The record sounds glossy and production is smooth, lending itself favorably to a good stereo headphone listening. The album was not originally released publicly, but rather used to assemble the cast that would take it all the way to the stage in "The Entertainment Capital of the World"....Las Vegas. The original recording is now available in limited quanity from Tributary Music. For an in depth look at making the record
Making the Record!
WHERE TO NOW?
Confused and bewildered Lark realizes he must continue his journey onward (LABYRINTH) and find the real answers to his ethereal dilemma! (TOWER OF INFORMATION)... After a long and tiring journey he finally reaches his destination... the Tower... who painfully instructs him to U turn and go back to earth and..well....try it again
WELCOME HOME LARK!
Upon his arrival........ (ASTRALOGRAPHY) the transformed Lark..who we just knew as "The Classical Man" is greeted by the androgynous Kral.... who balances things and keeps things in good working order around the Cafe'. We think of Kral as Lark's alter ego! Several scenes take place here and Lark is introduced to his Guardian Angel (HEAVENS CAFE') the lovely Robin (NEVER ALONE)...and finally.... Classical Man (CLASSICAL MAN) of which he is anything but enamored....!
DON'T MISS OUT!
Heavens Cafe' is now available on CD for the first time... here at Tributary Music... And if you love this record.... you won't believe "HEAVENS CAFE'LIVE!" If you'd heard the rumor "Live Theater is dead"....you might think again! We think it's one of the finest live albums ever recorded...and we're not just blowin smoke!
GUESTBOOK here!SO WHAT WENT WRONG?
So all the while our Devil has been watching and he... "The Dark One" gives his two cents (FLOWING HOME)...But the vision of Robin lives on in Lark's soul. and in the "Dream Scene" he realizes that Robin is really what he wants and for the first time starts to feel love.. ....and with that thought... she appears to him...and as they embrace...they become one and the cycle completes. So this new found energy is finding it's way back to the womb. (THE DARK) and completes the amazing journey back to earth as the Baby Robin..(ROBIN'S LULLABY)
