Musical Style: Eclectic original music. Mad Fables was the result of a process that nourished and drew upon their collective experience, fusing the music with whatever emotions arose while playing. This audio alchemy unleashed an energy that enveloped those tuned to this type of frequency, and drove all to a joyful madness. Most closely associated with music of the Grateful Dead.
The unwritten rules of Mad Fables music:
  • Create - do not recreate - Songs are structures thru which music flows.
  • Nothing is certain
  • If you are not playing what you feel, why are you playing?
  • Why can't you play Rock, Country, Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass music in the same set?

Hello LMA

On behalf of *Mad Fables*, I am giving permission to upload to your
archives recordings of Mad Fables shows.

Mad Fables performed from 1973 through 1979 in the North East U.S. . I
currently have about 60 performances at 40 venues over these years. A
friend of mine who uses your site has encouraged me to upload the shows
to your archives. I understand that I will have to convert all my
material to FLAC files. So be it.

If you need any other information please contact me.

Thanks,

Mike Radtke
