Salem Hill
“Not Everybody’s Gold”
The year 2000 saw the addition of keyboardist Michael Ayers and the release of the band’s fifth album, “Not Everybody’s Gold.” Although not conceptual in nature like the past two releases, “Not Everybody’s Gold” is another offering that carries the listener on a musical journey. Capping off the album is the majestic 28 minute “Sweet Hope Suite.” Carl Groves explains, “‘Sweet Hope Suite’ is really a Jobian type dialogue between two friends. One friend is struggling to find his place in the world, and the other friend is trying to point out the obvious.”
On the strength of “Not Everybody’s Gold,” Salem Hill again headlined the ProgDay festival in 2000, and played at DragonCon, the largest Sci-Fi / Fantasy convention in North America. But changes were on the horizon. The recording sessions for “Not Everybody’s Gold” had been grueling and Groves was not willing to enter the studio again under those circumstances. Thomas moved to Florida. Unofficially, the band called it quits.
