Phantom Culture - Jack Korbel, Song No.02 (Holy Folk)

Jack Korbel was reared on a strict diet of pop music and B-movies from which he happily rebelled.
Now a musician-turned-writer-turned-musician who endeavors to capture a little Literature in all his tunes, Jack Korbel names a broad base of influences: folklore and folk music from Ireland to Appalachia, the lives of saints and fools, and a fascination with the misfortunes of human history.
About his craft and style, Korbel believes thoughtful music fosters thoughtful community.

"The canary is like man's soul," he whispered finally. "It sees bars round it, but instead of despairing, it sings. It sings, and wait and see, Brother Leo: one day its song shall break the bars."
- St. Francis of Assisi in Nikos Kazantzakis' "St. Francis"

[Remember: even if you were there then, you weren't this there.]
