    The viola does give me the impression that this was a discarded instrument. An experiment that after trial led to another one that was chosen by Pagannini. There is nothing within the instrument that tells me that this was a loved instrument, meaning, that someone took the responsability to commit to it.

    "...every pulse of the rot at the heart in the sick fat veins of America..." From the beginning of the history of this country, the dog-whistle call to rich, greedy (mostly) men around the world: Come and get it, boys! It's all here for the taking...more trees, soils, minerals, waters, animals, 'resources' than you can imagine. Make millions, hell billions! of dollars using everything you can take from this virgin land.

    this is fascinating! i love the interplay Ferneyhough is evoking. it really shifts music away from it aristocratic past when it was essentially traded as a commodity from rich to servant, back to its communal aspect.

    You’d be interested to know that the other day I climbed that tiny, insanely steep little hill above the main brown house in mill valley where the little dharma bums cabin once stood, under the eucalyptus tree line separating the woods from the little field. There are concrete columns that once held it up. There are still bits of wood attached to the concrete pillars that once belonged to the cabin. And there is still that trail above that site that connects to all trails throughout marin county. I should maybe make a video someday of this

      I can tell you this: turn in at the 9 AM club and continue straight on monteford and keep left (lower) at the fork in the road. Not too far from the elementary school(on the left), you’ll see an open space (field) that slopes up a very very very steep hill. This is on the right side of the road. That’s the spot. Don’t tell too many people, now! ❤

    Dharma Bums was so influential in my late high school/early college days in the early 70s. I wanted to be a dharma bum/zen poet so badly. I guess, in many ways, I still am trying to be one ;)

    I got to hear Jerome do this at the first Talking Gourds Poetry Festival in Telluride in a private living room. It was mesmerizing! As he clearly states to begin, this is not Navajo but his English ethnopoetic take on an Indigenous verbal form. While I'm sensitive to possible claims of cultural appropriation by some, I believe this creation is a bridge between cultures that honors its sources while creating an exciting new possibility of poetry form.

    To aske for all thy love, and thy whole heart t’were madnesse, I doe not sue, nor can admit (Fairest) from you to have all, yet who giveth all hath nothing to impart, but sadnesse. He that receiveth all, can have no more then seeing. My Love by length of every houre, Gathers new strength, new growth, new flower. You must have daily new rewards in store, still being. You cannot every day give me your heart for merit: Yet if you will, when yours doth goe, You shall have still one to bestow: For you shall mine when yours doth [hence de -] part inherit. Yet if you please, Ile finde a better way, then change them: For so alone dearest we shall Be one and one, anothers all - Let us so joyne our hearts that nothing may estrange them.

    So great, Gary. I’m a compulsive note taker myself. Have hundreds of sturdy note pads from over the decades! But too busy adding to them to even reread them, let alone write a book. I’m in Kyoto in 2024. Be well, Gary!

  • @rossriver75yukon27

    Reading Dharma Bums again. I come back to it every few years. It settles me. Makes me content with what I am. An ordinary guy, chomp chomp chomping his way. Full of imperfections. Making out he’s something he wished he was, but isn’t. Alone, like with that starry sky and sandy beach. Like Kerouac, I’d rather snuggle on a cold mattress with railroad gloves on than on some pink cushy bed. A little struggle just to make me appreciate this simple life more.

      Don't bother about the order. I argue you could learn a lot more about a writer by starting from their last pieces of work, or really anywhere. Not telling you what to do, only that it doesn't matter.
