Hello, Moaners. You're Yes. I adore You and enyoy yr impressionictic Music and Voices. I want You. TYhanks for to be friends, before Nature dies¡ Come and visit Me. meanwhile , send to me yr news and a signed CD to: Ama-Pobox 3039-09080-Burgos(Spain) I really feel You.
In the meantime, Every Best Wish, and Blessed Be¡
Here's a Poem:

MEMORY OF NOTHING

Listen:
Drag branches comeback
Across the forest floor:
Knowledge of the rough¡

At water’s edge
I gather some things up:
Memory of nothing.

We’ve the time to give the Babel Tower
A close reading.
Awful good, Tú
As Roy A. Rappaport’s
Ritual... as Communication and as State.
Our preferences might be
Toward more emphasis
On species places:
Smooth textures of dead wood
Knowledge of our hands on arms
The body-art of bullshit
Drinking cocoa
And tend to the faith
With a Vampire’s short stick
That smells of infinite urine.

History reveals itself to us
In this way:
Poetry, Tales, Essays are pamphlets
Of impossible interest
Multiplying voices-human, voices-animal
Voices-plant
Voice-life of Earth
As Dan O’Neill’s
Holiday for Cynics.



Look, little one
We live this close to disaster
There is no turning back
From the tops of the trees
Which are so dense
Almost no sky is visible
Only the odor dilates the nostril
And quickens the heart
On a marijuana tortilla.
The buddhists have been tellig us
That the Self (Ego)
As we conceive of it
Is an illusion.
A good tip
Thinking about Gurney Norman’s
Jack and His Ego.

Is it?
It is that we are of a Time-Sexual
Wherein all species has been joined
To the Wo/Man
Of Homo Sapiens
And Life is a single exercise of Cannibals
In constantly elevating towers
Of Bureaucracy.
Nothing in Somethingg
Something in our Nothingness.

Hi Melissa,

I would like to share some exciting news: after a long application process, the NYC Musical Saw Festival was approved
by the Guinness Book of Records to attempt to break the current world record for the 'Largest Musical Saw Ensemble'.
The current world record (set in Poland last year) is 27 musical saw players playing together.
Could we set a new world record on July 18th? We need your help for it!
Please join us and be part of a Guinness World Record breaking attempt at the 7th annual NYC Musical Saw Festival:
When: Saturday, July 18th, 2pm
Where: Trinity Church, 37th street corner of 31st Avenue, Astoria (Queens), NYC.
Admission: $10
Info: www.MusicalSawFestival.org

For the Guinness World Record attempt all sawists will be playing 2 pieces together (in what we call the 'Chorus of the Saws'):
Ave Maria/Schubert - accompanied by church organ
Over the Rainbow - accompanied by piano
The 'Chorus of the Saws' will be conducted by Scott Munson.

Hope to see you there, and please - pass the info on - we need to get as many musical saw players to participate as possible to set a new Guinness World Record!

All the best,

Natalia
