to hold the baby tiger

previously on musicians of bremen:

musicians of bremen have released some tracks from their latest set of recordings entitled the humming.

we've got one download already - mikey (synaptic refuge) - thanks dude.

two dudes horsemouth doesn't know (like complete strangers!) have liked musicians of bremen's page - a young guitarist from holland, and an older experimental music fan from alabama. it was liked over on american primitive guitar (where horsemouth posted it) by another guitar playing american youngster.

horsemouth did an online event (just to enable me to email lots of people about it at one go - 172 people were invited, 22 responded, 9 with going, 13 with interested). the people who clicked like were - well you know who you are. horsemouth put up a link to amarach as a taster for the album (and that got some likes). With more warning and a performance he thinks the musicians could get a better response as they work through their release schedule. still. very pleased overall.

it is important to remember musicians of bremen make music because they like making music, if other people like it this is good. as a kid horsemouth went to the circus, some carneys dressed as clowns were wandering round with a baby tiger that a child could hold for a fiver or a tenner (this was a looong time ago - like back in the early 70ies, before animal welfare). the little girl next to horsemouth got to hold it. horsemouth really wanted to hold it s he pretended he’d lost his ticket. they said they’d come back if horsemouth found his ticket. the child horsemouth never got to hold the baby tiger. horsemouth supposes the message of this is you can’t always get what you want but you can get what you need.
