Agree, Johannes, but then on shortwave, already conspiracy people at work,
claiming the election's fraudulent; from there the man I was listening to
was going to be on Fox.

very scary times, constant anxiety now

Best, Alan

Alan, what beautiful music and image you share with us, thank you, and
hang in there, allow your body to breathe through your playing.
yes there is a thin thread or threshold, we all can see that;
but the mail-in ballots will be counted; and there's got to be
an end to the absurd shenanigans.
best
Johannes

Well today after the election and at this point my anxiety is
through the roof but in order to ground myself last night I was
just playing t e r z guitar and I've came across it just happened
I came across a small sequence that had been in my mind for at
least half a century. And I thought I'd better record this
immediately. I had played something similar on the base sauce.
Saws s a z. But I hadn't really been able to come to grips with
it. Originally I heard it on a 78 record that I found in
Providence Rhode Island and gave to Brown University. It was an
Ethiopian record. And the tune the song has stayed with me since
then. So finding it and it's very simple finding it under the terz
guitar was a side at least in a small part of the universe as a
basis for feeling that things might turn out all right. It's been
the worst couple of days I think we've had in a long long long
long long time. It seems that there was a choice being made
between fascism and democracy and fascism has on its side the idea
of raw power and judicial shenanigans. It seems on our side is
only mail-in ballots to consider. And then they case I can just
say it's taking a toll and a rather brutal toll on my body and on
the bodies of everyone I know at this point. We feel we're living
in the regime that could easily turned into a form of outright
fascism related to nazism and its use of propaganda and it's the I
don't know the word attraction of Refugees and People of Color and
Jews and Muslims and anyone who is not white Christian and male.
It's very hard to live like this day in and day out. We don't get
out because of covid. The illness is getting to us. So here is the
basis which was for a few moments and kind of calming calming
calming tune her melody but really more like a kind of root
structure for everything I do and it just occurred and I played it
with the recorder balanced on my knee. I didn't want to move and
forget anything about this tune. I hope it does something for you.
It did for me. Thank you for listening.
