A guy who was cross eyed, but was also dyslexic so everything came out right.
"I have learned that there lies dormant in the souls of all men a penchant for some particular musical instrument, and an unsuspected yearning to learn to play on it, that are bound to wake up and demand attention some day. Therefore, you who rail at such as disturb your slumbers with unsuccessful and demoralizing attempts to subjugate a fiddle, beware! for sooner or later your own time will come."
- Mark Twain
you have my skatebird. why won't you admit it? its ok. i just want to know its in good hands. rides like an old mercedes, right? like a tank. fast and smooth. you can take boulders with it. now i need some casters for the amp. how mi going to roll it?
i broke down and got the roland edirol. the thing recorded over 70 megs to a little card in less than a minute. wtf?! its also smaller than an old sony walkman and weighs less. it's going to stay in the box for a while till it deserves some attention.
Waking up in your studio was dreamy. It felt like i was secure in a NASA shuttle en route, on a christmas morning. How'd the two cassette trax come out, creepy?
Thanks for coming out on Saturday: what could be more haunting and evocative than Apollo 11 making its descent upon the moon's surface to the warped strains of a cheap knock-off version of Eleanor Rigby?
You must come again: we'll be doing a 'space-walk' next time, I think...
