Mary O., Tracy, and Mac >> It was a real treat to see and hear you perform at the Highland the other night. The lush vocal harmonies were tranquil and angelic. Mary, I hope your "swine flu" didn't escalate and I'm relieved that you didn't incur some sort of "wardrobe malfunction" this time around... haha. Sincerely great to meet you all and I hope to see you around the block. Also, thanks for not making a big stink about opening the show that night. I am acutely aware that you are headline worthy, and that speaks volumes that you were so accommodating. I can't seem to get "Supper Song" out of my head, not that I'm complaining. To me, it calls to mind "Different Drum" by The Stone Poneys. Love it. <3 Drew / Swine Song

At Eyedrum (www. eyedrum. org) on Wednesday November 20th at 7:30 pm, for $5.00, The Nonsense Company presents "Great Hymn of Thanksgiving / Conversation Storm", an award-winning pair of urgently intricate pieces blurring the boundary between experimental theater and avant-garde music, both written by internationally-known composer and company member Rick Burkhardt.
"Great Hymn of Thanksgiving" takes place at a dinner table, where the sounds of conversation have been replaced with fragmented news reports, scraps from the Army prayer manual, faux-Middle-Eastern folk tales, and disembodied cries of emergency. The sculpted sounds of the table itself — scooting chairs, singing wineglasses, squeaking forks — force this “conversation” into a confrontation with material reality.
In "Conversation Storm", three friends from three sides of the political spectrum unwillingly argue their way through a ticking time bomb scenario, revising, dissecting, and even brutalizing their own positions in the process — but time has either stopped or entered an ugly loop, and as the friends assign and reassign roles, the scenario begins to dissolve the boundaries between real and hypothetical, past and future, day and night.
