the morning starts nicely. some kids in lithuania (looks like by the names) have recorded a fahey tune (guitar and cajon line up). it sounds great. well done young folk. the sentimental old mule may start crying.
it is also bandcamp friday once again where if you were to purchase a musicians of bremen digital download or streaming right then howard and horsemouth would receive a greater proportion of the sale than usual.
tbh musicians are not in it for the money (this is just as well really) but it is just nice to know that people actually have the songs and may even be listening to them.
once again there was a plan for horsemouth and howard to meet up this weekend but horsemouth may still be too sick.
it is the second day of the jackson c. frank celebration and hinamatsuri (the festival of the dolls). platforms are covered with a red carpet–material and are used to display a set of ornamental dolls hina-ningyō representing the emperor, empress, attendants, and (crucially) 5 musicians in traditional court dress of the heian period.the festival was traditionally known as the peach festival momo no sekku, as peach trees typically began to flower around this time.
we are out of the uarys (january, february). we are out of the -embers (september, november, december - and (charitably) october) - we are into the 6 months of the year that do not have formulaic names. soon we will roll past the equinox and up into spring and summer.
yesterday horsemouth mostly read drive your plow over the bones of the dead a blake themed backcountry picaresque set on the polish/czech border. someone is doing in the local huntsmen (maybe the animals they kill are doing it). it was enjoyable (if slight). horsemouth will finish it off today.
'it is at dusk that the most interesting things occur, for that is when simple differences fade away.'
