Deming* from Midnight Door by Luke Janela

* = Instrumental (no vocals)

Deming, NM.

Rolling through the desert in the southwest, with dust and wind flying out from under the truck. Bright stars at night and a solitude to the landscape.

In Deming we found an amazing museum, to this date my favorite museum, which the community had made by donating items from their lives dating back 150 years or so. From Native American basketry to the town's fire engine from the 1950's to a recreation of the dentist's office from the turn of the century, the collection was just so nostalgic and amazing.

The sounds in the song, at the end is a recording from the museum where they had paid tribute to the town's most well known composer Nacio Herb Brown by having a constantly playing turntable. Also in the end, the sound of a clocktower in Tucson, AZ.

Luke Janela has been writing and recording music for many moons. He is a classically trained cellist, guitarist and singer. He has fronted 15 albums. All bare a distinct character and tend to defy simple classification.

His music is urgent and innovative, moving from fol to punk to classical to electronic as a cohesive, contemporary whole
