P.S. My son is on drums at this stage, I think. Later, he also plays guitar, bass, keyboard and sings. Darn I am jealous.:p

Lately he has also been getting into electronics via synthesisers.:)

I was not selected in the conscription draw. Phew, because I couldn't claim sore feet. I have not got involved in lotteries since because I had already used up the odds.

But just to spoil the news the advising letter said 'indefinitely deferred'. Thankfully a change in government got us out of the debacle before the US got to do the same.

Lessons have not been learned politically from the Vietnam war. Such a price paid by all.

Carla Bley - Social Studies (1980 - WATT Works/ECM)

carla-bley_social-studies_1.jpg



Recorded September through December 1980 / Mixed January 1981 at Grog Kill Studio (that's her basement), Willow, New York

---

In 2016 she recalled a memory from her early life:

“My father showed me a piece of music. I had asked him ‘where does this music come from? Who wrote this down?’

And he said ‘Well there are composers who write this stuff and this is the paper they use to write it and here is the pencil,
and they just put a lot of dots on the page and you play whatever the dots say you should play.’

So I took the paper and pencil back to my room and came back the next day with the paper filled with black dots.

His advice and only advice was: ‘Less dots. Get rid of most of these dots.’

That was my first composing lesson.”

I blame this band for my tinnitus. They were the loudest band at the time. One night at the White Horse Hotel(beer barn) I was standing in front of stage-left waiting for the performance. Thorpe came onto the stage and hit a power chord as part of his tune-up routine. I was about two feet from his huge speaker and literally moved another three feet. Brain mushing. :eek:
