"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

"If I Traveled to the Past" and "You Are Everywhere"

Paul Levinson
I just wanted to tell you about two great places my music popped up in the past week:

1.  Howard Margolin's 37th Anniversary Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction show on WUSB Radio.  I read an excerpt from my novelette, Marilyn and Monet, then Howard and I talk about the paradoxes of time travel, which segues into "If Traveled to the Past" from Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time on Old Bear Records/Light In the Attic Records.  You can listen to the entire hour here (scroll down to April 24, I start reading from Marilyn and Monet at 12min 27sec).

2. Dig Vinyl's Melodic Distraction put up a great playlist, "American Dream with Yvonne (Page)" a few days ago.  It features such artists as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Grateful Dead; Janis Joplin; The Velvet Underground; and ... yours truly, singing "You Are Everywhere" from Twice Upon A Rhyme.  Chuffed doesn't do justice to what a thrill this is!  You can enjoy the whole playlist of 14 songs here ("You Are Everywhere" is #11).

Songs from Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time also played on
  • Carl Thien's WZBC show scroll down to Part2
  • Patrick Rands' Abstract Terrain show on WZBC Radio in Boston
  • Kevin Anthony's Psychedelic Jukebox
  • Captain Phil's WUSB-FM show. 
  • Plus the following stations: Bellarmine Radio, Louisville, KY; KDWG Radio, Dillon, Montana; The End, Cleveland, OH; SYN Radio, Melbourne, Australia

You can get all the Welcome Up music, any time, here:
And here's Twice Upon a Rhyme:
Here's a one-hour virtual concert I did a few weeks ago with songs from both albums at HELIOsphere: Beyond the Corona.   Video clips from Welcome Up here and here.

Welcome Up Reviews and Interviews:
  • Taro Miyasugi says Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time is "a stunning folk pop album with gorgeous late 60s elements like vintage velveteen cloth..." 
  • Evan LeVine observes about Welcome Up that "any fan of Twice Upon A Rhyme will be overjoyed by it... As otherworldly, mystical and far-out as the subject matter may be, the songs burst with love and warmth and humanity." 
  • in-depth interview about Welcome Up in Klemen Breznikar's Psychedelic Baby Magazine 
  • new audio Bear Tones podcast in which talk about Welcome Up and Twice Upon A Rhyme.



And ... early warning:  I'll be singing songs, doing readings, talking on panels at Amazingcon, June 12-14, a completely online (virtual) and safe convention.  Details here.

Press
"Sounding at times like a collect call from another dimension mimicking Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons ... Welcome Up is ... quite triumphant, actually — and any fan of Twice Upon A Rhyme will be overjoyed by it. It’s a testament to Levinson’s innate talents as both a songwriter and storyteller. As otherworldly, mystical and far-out as the subject matter may be, the songs burst with love and warmth and humanity. Check it out, I think you’ll dig it."— Evan LeVine, Swan Fungus, Feb 3, 2020
