These songs only happen once.
Parker's Back takes its name from a Flannery O'Connor short story of the same name.
It's the account of a man seeking redemption through body art.

Saturday, April 19, 2008 7:30 p.m. Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center 3301 Lemp Street Tickets: $12, $6 students
Japanese improvising percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani incites new thinking about possibilities in percussion. Using a variety of instruments including drumset, bowed gongs, singing bowls, and many found objects, Nakatani creates intense organic soundscapes that defy category or genre.
Nakatani explores form and function with extremely dynamic work that develops through careful layering. The Wire magazine noted that "Nakatani's sparse punctuation suggests observance of esoteric ritual."
In addition to his solo work, Nakatani has collaborated with hundreds of artists worldwide, has been featured on more than fifty released recordings, and regularly conducts clinics and master-classes.
Nakatani's concert is a part of Nakatani's cross-country tour in support of his new solo percussion album, Primal Communication, and is co-sponsored by Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center.
These are dangerous times, friend. Everybody's up on the stump shouting about the future and their plans for what will be, promising that change will manifest only through his or her personal vision. What about now? What about that moment that exists right here — there — and is gone? You can't live for the future — it never comes. You have to make your peace with the present if you're going to have any peace at all.
Learn, Artist! is concerned with right now. The two-guitar, one-bass improvisational band carves out swooping arcs of now, holds them up to the light for the briefest of examinations, and then lets the now combust with dignity and purpose so that something newer can fill the void. Squiggly echoes fold into distant foghorn blasts and become an effervescent haze that lingers no longer than is decent. The future is unwritten, but the present is forever learned.
Learn, Artist! explores the now at 6 p.m. at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum on the Washington University campus (Forsyth and Skinker boulevards; www. kemperartmuseum. wustl. edu or 314-935-4523) as part of the Kemper Presents concert series. Admission is free, and complimentary snacks and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer are provided.
