'I thought I'd never run into a more difficult subject than sun ra... but then along came  harry.' 

 - john f. szwed.

the simple fact is that harry was a genius (and really annoying) at the same time. peter stampfel (holy modal rounders) makes a song out of him.

meanwhile andy edwards splits his music and politics project (or so he says). which is probably for the best really. he promises more cats (but the cat doesn't appear til nearly the end so there's no point waiting around for it).

now horsemouth likes andy's prog/ jazz rock witter, he likes his analysis of where the music 'industry' is now (and why it is difficult to care about it), on the other hand he doesn't think andy is your best source on either the origins of jazz or the problems besetting jazz now (nor on what particular value you should attach to 'british' music). 

andy plays it for comedy (a lot of the time). this is not always helpful. 

horsemouth has been up. he has got his coffee, fed the chickens and taken the milk over to the garage (oh and he has sent an electricity meter reading to his brother). yesterday the AGA thing got fixed (replacement solenoid). tomorrow a run into town.
