I started listening to Genesis when Peter Gabriel was long gone.
I listened to "The Knife" by chance, from a local radio station that in a moment of madness had played it, late in the evening
Slowly I began to explore the works of this band different from the others, and to sing their songs
The records, however, were very different from each other. The newer works seemed to have nothing to do with the gems of the early years
There was a very good band in my town called "the Symptom."
Part of this band was a friend who played bass and acoustic guitar really well.
They played Genesis classics and also newer stuff -- a suite called The Last Domino I think. Not a bad track.
I don't really remember how, I ended up being invited to sing in the band. It was a really incredible moment for me. I particularly remember the thrill of singing "Supper's Ready" in its entirety, with musicians who could fully render its beauty.
What an experience! Unfortunately, for various reasons I was forced to change my life, and this beautiful experience came to an end. Now when I see the wonderful bands that bring early Genesis songs on the road, I always think that maybe if I had continued I could have fully explored those songs and really made them my own.
