threnody, some music, Rebeca hurry http://www.alansondheim.org/grave12.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/irishbanjo.mp3 the body of Rebeca hurry of Rebecca hurry 25 1778 this Irish banjo has four strings, short neck, an octave and a fourth, no resonator, very old, dark, almost clunky sound, I tune it like a tenor guitar, I work on modules and segues, and at one point, I wanted to be interviewed, wanted to present this way of playing, these sliding tones that return under new guises, neither end nor beginning, sound that might continue indefinitely, but there was no interviewer, I think to myself that maybe I'm just 'noodling' as Gary said, doing nothing much on the instrument, it's snowing hard now, it's the snow of Joyce's short story, death looms in this weather, breathes down upon us for Rebeca hurry _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
