yesterday horsemouth walked back home (the gaff) to pick up some spare musical instruments and then back up to the forest (7-8 miles all told).
banjolele, glockenspiel, melodica, e-bow, guitar slide, guitar tuner and some spare guitar strings just in case.
he didn't bring the thumb piano, the omnichord, the harmonium or the fan powered organ (all a bit too big to fit into his little rucksack). nor did he bring the cymbal, the marching drum, the lap steel or the bass guitar.
nor did he bring any of his other guitars. the plan is to use howard's guitars - for example howard has a duplicate hohner 6 string (to the one horsemouth has), a nice nylon strung guitar, that cheap telecaster copy horsemouth found and a 12 string (so they should be ok for guitars). the plan is to record round howard's this afternoon (all things permitting).
more news from the world of karen dalton. another set of tapes has been found from1962 of karen and richard tucker in colorado. there's to be a release for record store day. the video from the santana support slot on may 1st 1971 above is another recent rediscovery.
a friend (ok ok someone horsemouth met on facebook) recently published this, 15 minutes of raga mishra peelu on a 12 string guitar in sarode/sitar tuning (and very good it is too).
outside it is a grey morning. howard should be back home elevenish. (and so some time after that they will begin).
