Odd Fellows Rest Felix Hanemann, our second contributor from the rock group ZEBRA, has been a friend of mine for over 18 years. We've had a lot of fun in that time working together on commercial jingles and radio plays. I felt his song about a real cemetery in New Orleans (his hometown) was the perfect way to bring our project to a conclusion. After all, what can be more horror inducing than the thought of death. I think Poe would have agreed. He, of course, was obsessed with death, as well as being surrounded by it his whole life! The fear of premature burial, in particular, is the theme of many of his works, as well as the title of one of his most famous stories. - Dennis Daniel Written and Performed by: Felix Hanemann Backing Vocals: Tom Staab Engineered and Recorded by: Bruce Zwelsky at Courtesy Studios West Hempstead, Long Island 516-485-2028 Felix's Comments: Odd Fellow's Rest is the name of a cemetery in New Orleans on Canal Street. I felt it represented the feelings evoked by Poe's work. The song is pretty much about the cemetery itself as an entity singing that "no matter whether you're rich or poor, I'm still gonna claim you in the end!" If that isn't "Poe-like" I don't know what is! This song will be featured on Felix Hanemann's forthcoming solo albums. Visit his website at www.littlethings.net
