Huxley,

Here is an hour long talk between Russell Brand and Rupert Sheldrake.

Huxley,

I used to be an atheist when I was young and foolish.

Do you know what a breakdown is?

Cicero:

It’s what happens past Foggy Mountain, isn’t it?

Re: Angelina Jordan – I Put A Spell On You

Roy Lofquist:

That’s pretty … compelling.

But a bit like watching Linda Blair in “The Exorcist.” She shouldn’t be able to do such things. She’s way off the charts.

Another argument for reincarnation.

That was a magical combination. For me it captured the timeless happy tang of childhood, when a Saturday afternoon could stretch out forever.

Note how little NEW good jazz is out there. It’s all on CDs from the 1960s.
Lots of good musicians never learned how to read notes, I refer particularly to the early Bluegrass of Bill Monroe’s band, Jimmy Martin and his, the Blue Sky Boys, Jimmie Rodgers the Blue Yodeler, and it goes on and on. None of them had music stands with pages of notes. They mostly came from poverty. The pace of breakdowns, when played is too fast to turn a page! Great instrumentalists, fine harmonies.

Do you know what a breakdown is?
I can read music, but my singing in church or otherwise does not make me a good vocalist!

I’ll never forget the day our high school band director handed out sheet music to a small group of us for “Take Five”.

It changed my life. I quit the wrestling team to concentrate on music.
