why isn't chim chim cheree by john coltrane as great as my favourite things?
giving it a listen - it is pretty great.
why is horsemouth discussing this now? it's the anniversary of when it (chim chim cheree) was recorded - 17th may 1965 (as was brazilia and songs of praise).
horsemouth has got his harmonium down from the top of the cupboard and even played it
he's brought the cassette recorder over from the garage just in case that might be needed. he was having a think about which cassette to record on.
he recorded a small segment of it (using his laptop sound recorder and built in microphones) and messaged it over to robert lawson in far off rio gordo.
rob emailed back the clip with his spike violin added.
it all sounded most good.
but before that horsemouth made a parody of the introduction to camberwick green (a children's programme loved by people of horsemouth's generation).
which curiously resembles john berger ways of seeing also in that it tells you what you are looking at.
today. a decent morning. later a phonecall from enza.
