A 'Sci-Fi' story, set in 'a Time where Everyone is Equal'--opportunity-wise. It's about an young teenage 'Astronaut's Daughter' who wants to be just like her Mother--the 'Astronaut'!!

An Experimental Project (Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra), and a Loose Funky Jammer (OSMOSIS). 2 separate sides, the very same dude.
Hello. Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS is actually a One-Man Home Recording Project that has been my 'stress relief' (ha ha!), since about MAY, 1981. I'm from that first wave of DIY Cassette-Tapers ('analog'--and PROUD OF IT!). Hell, the majority of my material between '81 and '99 was done on the earliest large-model Casio Synthesizers (the MT-68, MT-400-V and MT-200), with a Yamaha thrown into the mix (on occasion). Recently, I've started posting my material on the web (after transfering it from cassette-tape to digital disc, and then to MP3---a very hard process, considering the AGE of some of the tapes). It was in these past 2 1/2 years on the web that I discovered that, despite the ridicule you're going to get, there IS an Audience for your music--no matter how different it is. I've been telling some of my friends and peers for years to NEVER get rid of ANY of their recordings, no matter how 'crappy' you were (of think you were), because having a 'Back Catalog' is a damn good thing. You MAY have been sitting on some GEMS, and not even know it. And, when I discovered that a 21-year-old jam I posted on MySpace recently ROCKED a lot of folks as far away as SCOTLAND and AFRICA (!), I felt pumped. It means that this was a 'dream' that came thru in the end.

Story behind the song
Two Words: SALLY RIDE!!!! The first woman in space was (IS!) the inspiration for "Lucy Mae". This song is also a REMAKE---I did the original wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in September, 1983!! Right after the landing of the Space Shuttle Challenger and Sally Ride's loud "WHOOOOOOOOOO-HOO!" into her receiver during that LIVE Telecast!! So, to put things in perspective: Since SALLY RIDE is (technically) "the Astronaut"--or "Mother", every woman astronaut that came after her (even the late great Christa MacCauliff) is "Lucy Mae". Now, how did "Mother Change"? (as alluded in the song) Ohhhhh, not by much. Ms. Ride simply made the Encyclopedia Britanica and Funk And Wagnalls 1984 editions in Feb., 1984. Hey, it's fun to just plain witness HISTORY on TV!!
