| Notes: |
A pleasant spring Sunday except it's winter. Could be the weird quiet of
the recession balancing on my forehead. Had a relaxing morning drive to
the Republic. Adequate caffeine instigated Dream Syndicate. Stuck on track
3, "That's What You Always Say." 1982. I'd tell you that we've been through this I know I've told you that before I'd try to find out where we miss but it gets to be such a chore Ever since that time I told you it's so Something gets my mind and I don't let go and then the stories and words they're here and gone cause that's what you always say I'd try to sit and talk with you but you know moods change all the time I'd try to wait a week or two but by then I'd probably changed my mind. Just plain stuck. Needle skipping along the groove. Expect chaos. Expect to wait. Know the mood comes from out there. But really, it is a nice day. At the studio all is normal as can be. Jeff has been awake since friday morning. Ukulele Loki is nowhere in sight. I am on the edge and as usual, expected to conceal it. Doc Martin's arrival brings the stability required to make it through the show. Loki finally shows and brings in the band from Japan. The Sweet Hollywaiians, with emphasis on SWEET. They have been on a month long US tour, final stop KVCU, Boulder. Tomotaka Matsui (Hawaiian steel guitar, guitar, ukulele, mandolin & vocal), Nobumasa Takada (guitar, ukulele, mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo, melody banjo & vocals), Takashi Nakayama (guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, mandolin & vocals) and Kohichi Tsutsumishita (string bass, ukulele & vocals). In a flash these guys took us back to the 1920's. Tough times, but oh so good music. Every scene has a turning point and the musicianship and complete happy smiling of this Osaka foursome turned up the positive energy. Just as Doc Martin had said earlier, "Music and art transcend the times at hand." So went the rest of the show. Calm, smiling and mentally refreshed. Escape from the doom in my fragmented mind. I submit a grateful thanks to Doc Martin and The Sweet Hollywaiians. Check the Denver/Boulder concert scene. |
