Big Sleep is the name of the imaginary 'band/group, that all the music I create with my friend and musical collaborator, Tony Webster goes under. Tony is pictured on the right in the photo; me on the left in the dark blue suit.
Tony is an artist / illustrator, writer of lyrics and stories, song arranger and a mine of information on any subject under the sun . . .
I (David A Briggs) play all the instruments (mostly of the stringed variety), perform all the studio 'jiggery-pokery', sing and dabble a little in the visual arts.

There's a little bit of everything in this one, Brit rock, psychedelia, prog rock, some George Martin production and some quirky Kinks-style lyrics. You two certainly know how to entertain. I like the way you combine a trip down memory lane with timeless music and ideas. Excellent stuff.
I like the sitar- intro and outro and the early Pink Floyd-like verse (Arnold Layne). Then the abrupt breakdown with the mellotron, very true to the ideas of the psychedelic period. These strange interludes were a new take on music production at the the time. You sure nailed the psychedelic vibe with this one!
