Slow music

Tuesday has somehow turned into a miracle night. Niles, Gary and I began to play at around 9 o'clock Tuesday night with no particular aim or purpose. This began, and continued throughout to be nothing of real worth. It had all pretty much happened before for about the first 50 minutes or so. There was a window that opened just enough so we could stick our fingers in little by little and lift it so the air could move freely (allegorical travesty). There were many points where it was a mutual feeling that the attempts at creating something worthwhile were hopeless, but persistance proved to be aimed in the right direction. At around 9:55 there was a shift and something poured out that seemed like it had been waiting there the whole time waiting for us to find it. It formed itself into its own seperate piece. We each contribted very little but the whole was so complete. Right when it was over Gary said "Church Bells... just wrote it". I gathered immediately that he meant it was so complete that it was as if we had spent a good amount of time working it out, but in reality it had formed itself that way. He went on to describe the meaning of "Church Bells" and how he remembered when he was younger in '74 and his dad took he and his siblings outside and around his town to the church when the official end of the Vietnam war had been declared and every church that had bells in America rang at the same time. I believe that was the story. Suddenly the music carried so much more meaning.
Thank God we happened to be recording. So now I have 3 tracks of not so great stuff (sometimes borderline painful) and one track of something that will resonate for quite a while.

One peice I would die happy were I to hear it in a live performance if I were actually there would be 'The Deception of the Thrush'. Just thought about that today and it had no bearring on anything whatsoever but I will keep it there.

The Bot is in dyer need of a new compressor which unfortunately will cost me a bundle. Actually it'll be fine without one but I will certainly need one in the summer. It heats up like a sauna with the smallest amount of sunlight shining on the interior. Anyway, now that the first paragraph that had anything to say is long overwith, I will not waste anymore time.
