Notes:

"Christ is not cute." Fahey doublespeak or Blind Joe Death's salvation? Maybe Fahey's hint to know both sides of a story. Fahey floated on steel rails and 12 strings. He waited in the wings like the first low pressure system of winter. He sacrificed himself on the strings of his guitar.

      "Because if you can't hear the music you ain't gonna have much fun in this life.
       You ain't gonna have NO fun in this life, because everything in this life including
       life itself is made out of music."  John Fahey, September 16, 1998. [more here]

Mid show a few friends poked into the studio. Swallow Hill's Michael Schenkelberg, Chris McGarry and Emily Hurd were on a Sunday drive exploring Denver's hinterland and followed the radio signal right to us. Of course Jeff and I felt it proper etiquette to show them a good time at the Rio Grande. Our offsite preference for deep discussions is the RIO, while Dot's ON the Hill is more of a breakfast relaxation sobriety conjunction. So... if you happen to see us brunching at Dot's go easy cause most likey we have been up all nite. Dig?
