US composer Leland Thomas Faegre has radio, television and film credits including the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. His composition, arrangement, and production skills for the Historical Society of Turkey and "Inside the Moon Bear Rescue Centre, China,” by The Animals Asia Foundation have been described as "so vast that supervisors will view each piece as independent islands full of relative possibilities." Coming to us from Lake Tahoe, Leland is both a broadcast partner and music publisher renowned for his talent and creativity.
Based in Nevada, musician and composer Leland Thomas Faegre was mostly a bookworm before the British Invasion of 1964. Smitten by the Beatles, he assembled his first band after acquiring a drum set from his mother, Dorothy. He gathered some schoolmates who could play, and his first band was incarnated as 'Phenomenal Phluke;' a name that still makes him smile. Faegre acquired quite a neighborhood notoriety for playing a fifteen-minute version of the Surfaris' 'Wipeout,' the forerunner to 'Ina Gadda Da Vida,' and until 1968 his accomplishment as a drummer was sufficiently established. During the Summer of '68, a neighbor's piano and an acoustic guitar purchased with Blue Chip Stamps occupied his time, and he persevered from the love of the sound of the chords and began to develop his skills by emulating the best of that era to include CSNY, Byrds and Buffalo Springfield.
This composition came to me as I was working on another track that lent itself to this transition. A part of the world that is rich in history, tradition and culture, its music perhaps being the most enriching. Got Pipes? Instrumental, Military, Battle Prep Celtic
This composition was another of those conceived in the fertile chapter of my lengthy stay in Ireland. A Royal wedding unfolded across the Irish Sea and its aristocratic pomp and circumstance probably influenced its development. A critic described the track, "... stirring, solidly executed..." Instrumental, Military, Heroic Music
