Trouble In Mind
Fortunately I didn’t need my pocket music guide at last night’s Monkeyhaus. The reason being when people talk about music at the Monkeyhaus they share. They share not only what they brought but in most cases why they brought it, maybe how they came across it in the first place, what it means to them, some historical and personal perspective and most importantly they share their excitement over the opportunity to introduce us to something we may not know and perhaps will come to enjoy and eventually share with others.
There’s more to learn about music through this sharing and listening than you could ever learn from a pocket book. Although I have to admit, they got this part right – For most of us who have ‘ ears to hear ‘, listening to music is a source of delight.

At Monkeyhaus last night, WE listened to Robert Wyatt, and Anna Domino, and Jakob Bro. The night before, it was Singers and Players “Revenge of the Underdog”, Au Pairs “Playing With a Different Sex”, Section 25 “The Key of Dreams” and Fell From the Sun’s EP on Serpent.
Our Monkeyhaus, that is, not yours. With the 124, for a change, instead of the 401–but never mind that, or the new Mogami/Switchcraft cables I made. The goodest part is having someone to listen with, someone who loves music just as much as we do, someone else with big ears. That’s the best.
Keep sharing. And thanks.

Sorry I missed another MH event. Bruised rib, and recently pulled wisdom tooth. Damn!
hey, anybody know where to get a Thorens 124 refurbished?

Ken,
I may have a lead. Worked for me.

Sheesh Ken I hope those two events, the rib and the tooth, are unrelated. Come to think of it, I hope all three are independent events. Give that Thorens two aspirin and call me in the morning.
