get three coffins ready (ten nails in the coffin of rock)

'horsemouth has been out and fed the chickens. in a bit he will have to go and unlock the abbey. 

ok an entirely written in the morning blogpost. wait. let him go get another cup of coffee.' 

the bones of horsemouth's mornings are roughly the same. 

horsemouth has posted a link to andy edwards ten nails in the coffin of rock. like rick beato's stuff this is an account of the death of a musical form from the inside by jobbing musicians who were there.

in some ways what horsemouth finds most interesting in derek bailey and the story of free improvisation is his account of being a jobbing dance band musician.  

horsemouth admits it. there was a time when he thought he was good enough to make it as a musician but in the end he had to admit that he wasn't and go and get a day job.  this cause him to think about what he had been engaged in - what had motivated him for the first half of his life.  in many ways what horsemouth wrote on music was similarly inspired by the technological changes that were altering the musical commodity. 

ok today nothing nothing nothing. his reading of on photography goes well. 

back in 2017 horsemouth was off to play max's closing night for his mirkwood exhibition and it's pharoah sanders' birthday (he would have been 84 today).
