everything is going to be alright

in the days of the comet, anniversaries, (and a word in defence of envy)

so the bbc is predicting 39C for today in the seaside towns. horsemouth's plan is to nip out early for food and then hide indoors from then on in. so far it is cool and calm (but the sun has not made it out over the forest yet).

(horsemouth guesses his usual walk with TG will not be happening).

it is 51 years since pharoah sanders played  live at the nice jazz festival, in france, as was recorded by ORTF. the second set is from 1 hour 13 minutes in. 

it is two years since the release of everything is going to be alright. this is a tune horsemouth had very little to do with (there is some of his guitar towards the end) but mostly (the beat, the singing, the finding the vocal sample, the syd barrettish slide guitar) it's the other musician of bremen. horsemouth regrets not getting the cover image into the film the fall of the house of fitzgerald (it has UFOs and such things).  

look here! said horsemouth (the pseudonymious writer of this mostly unread blog (and sometime guitarist)) is not the other musician of bremen's interest in playing guitar a bit threatening to my position as band guitarist (especially as he has turned out to be rather good at it)? should horsemouth not be jealous.

here horsemouth is taking as his problem the MASSOLIT scenes from the master and the margarita (which horsemouth read yesterday and enjoyed).

in a word NO replies the avuncular mule. the fact that he has turned out to be good at it is good news and will eventually lead to the publication of a very good musicians of bremen album that (like volume two) horsemouth will, either barely or not, be on. 

volume two is our guide. it is very good. but next to nobody has heard it. dialectically envy should be the spur to horsemouth to produce better work. 

but horsemouth is interested in what he is interested in, anything else impinges on his consciousness by only a limited amount, he is pleased that people are making progress, and if he was, or could be,  of help in the matter, he is doubly pleased. 

horsemouth is pleased to be up a 12 string guitar. it strikes him he will be able to record something interesting with that. 

later this evening (in the heat) a mancom meeting on zoom. on possibly the hottest day of the year horsemouth will be arguing for more insulation and making the houses warmer.
