the sun at night (stopover bombay)

tomorrow (november 8th) is journey in satchidananda day - the anniversary of alice coltrane, pharoah sanders, cecil mcBee, tulsi, rashied ali and majid shabazz recording all of the tracks on the album (excepting isis and osiris) at the coltrane family home in dix hills. in december 1970 alice coltrane travelled to india (with a stopover in bombay) - horsemouth will be researching this more.

so horsemouth went to the sun at night (and very good it was too - he particularly liked the improv - kind of like the japanese band ghost - and the pianist).

then himself and max adjourned to the pub and (with the assistance of good company) horsemouth drank rather more than was probably good for him. this did however have the benefit of shifting the low level gringe from which he had been suffering all day.

the next day (today - a workday lest we forget) horsemouth suffered a little (but not enough to impair his donkey portage) - he ate and drank coffee like a trooper and has attained some kind of functioning equilibrium.

saturday horsemouth attempted retail therapy with a visit to his favourite bookshop - narration of my captivity among the souix indians, cottage economy (cobbett), marx in his own words (ernst fischer), voices in stone, our village (mitford) - five pounds the lot plus he picked up two albums by archie shepp to go with his copy of attica blues (so he’ll let you know how those go).

horsemouth had a dream which encouraged him to get on with making music.
