a year with twelve moons (every seventh year)

skip the intro (it is difficult to hear), go to 2:54. probably the first time this piece was recorded OR performed live since 1967. 

'a dedication sung to tassajara - site of an old hot springs resort now the first zen monastery in the U.S., situated in the california mountains southeast of carmel.'  - robbie basho archives.

6 string guitar-BK krause and flute-alexis wendling. performed at the mother of good counsel church milwaukee. 

the natural reverb obliterates much of the spoken word intro but sounds great with the guitar and flute.  there's a guitar and viola duo for rocky mountain raga as well. the flautist and viola player do a number of duos and solo pieces (syrinx by debussy for example). thank you people it all sounds great. 

horsemouth's celebration of the occupation of centre point 50 years ago ended at 3pm yesterday - roughly the time at which the occupation ended. there were some protestors who did not wish to leave and were forced out by the police. 


here another howard-mixed golden glow (this time from 21st january 2018).

next week the anniversary of keith jarrett's koln concert, a meeting of the communal endeavour and a wolf moon using the old farmer's almanac naming system (derived from the unrelated maine farmer's almanac naming system).  

this year is a year with twelve moons.

a year with thirteen moons is possible. one with an additional blue moonfor a year with 13 full moons  to happen the first full moon must occur by the 10th of january. it occurs 7 times in the 19 years of the metonic cycle,  roughly every seventh year

horsemouth has grown interested in nancy holt's  sun tunnels  but he's going to have to delay talking about them until next time.
