A Christmas Wish For Genesis Fans......

Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?

Oh Genesis.....Christmas is upon us. Dark and dreary in Upstate New York. Thousands of your fans clamoring for something new, as all of your fans around the world are also wishing and wanting more from our favorite band. We have been loyal fans. We have every box set. We watched every documentary. Even the one Steve told us was unfair towards him. That new clip on YouTube is just not enough anymore. We as the fans, have a Christmas wish for you.

Could we have one more album? Classic lineup, the big four, or the big three, it does not matter. We would love one more album. How excited would we be to hear that announcement on Christmas Day. Do something different. We do not care as long as we have the long keyboard solo, the pounding drums and base, and the guitar sections we have grown accustomed to over the years.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone collaborated for an album. Something that reflects each era. Pete sings on some songs. Steve Hackett and Anthony Philips appear on songs. Phil and Pete sing together as in days past. Mike and Tony provide the foundation as always. How much effort would it take to spend a few days in the studio for one last album? You are all lucky enough to be alive at this stage of the game. Could we not coordinate something for the fans?

A live tour you say? Of course we would love one. The spirit of Christmas allows us fans to consider the possibilities. What an amazing tour it could be. A cameo by Anthony Philips on guitar. Special guests like Simon Collins on Keep It Dark. The tambourine dance. The flute. Give us hints of each era. A section of the Lamb served with silent slumbers....We can dream a little dream but only you can make it a reality.

What a Christmas gift if only to have a midwinters dream of our favorite band. Merry Christmas to all....and to all a good night.
