Songs of the Easter Legend
The six songs written by David Olney on his album, "The Stone," were inspired by the Easter legend and offer observations on the stories of Jesus’s last days, and the time following, from different perspectives that draw on varied interpretations of the texts, and David’s own imagination.

Mike, just listened on demand. What a great show. Must check out David Olney. I would quarrel with your calling either the Passover or Easter events as mere legends.

Thanks Robbie. Sadly, he died performing on stage in January 2020, at age 71. You can read the review I wrote of the four EPs, including The Stone, that David released about a decade ago at this link. https://frfb.blogspot.com/2013/01/david-olney-body-of-evidence-film-noir.html
