It's hard times befallen The sole survivors

began the day with ali farka toure
a nice start
again the search, to no avail
gave up just in time for a wonderful brunch with a wonderful friend
then music at his place:
witness the virgin coupling of another beautiful old string synth circa 1973 with the taal tarang D.
amazing
add some clavinet/another drum machine track/mono lead/fabricated orch hit and man do you
have a winner (with a bit of arranging)
odd, it is hard times but my soul does not feel as crushed as it might.
i will say that not having to wake up @ 7 is a blessing at least temporarily

symphonizers soothe the savage beast

Hollywood i know your middle name

"Uptown it's murder out in the street"

weekend coming to a close
needing to embrace adjustment of schedule and flexibility
unemployment office awaits me in my monday morning
weekend has been up and down but functional (all things considered)
food shopping, a little too aware of the looming limitedness of funds
happy:teaching loving girlfriend about the the finer points of a operating the minimoog
amazed at how many people seem to be in the same (laid off) boat

must be a pretty big boat
