What? Noone ever dared labelling my prose as 'disjointed'! So cheeky, madame.


P.S.: Thank you, i'm glad you liked it. I hope it was credibly frightening, as i owe it to my audience. I watched many Jack Nicholson movies to get in the right performance intensity (i'm into the method), in my real life i'm totally inoffesnsive. I remember once losing one finger in a cocodile attack because i didn't feel like hitting the poor animal.

^ you have no idea how much respect i have for you now that i know you are a professional musician with a missing (disjointed?) finger! chapeau, as they say. i must hear you play! p.s. i was a little frightened! p.p.s. i don't believe that you are totally inoffensive in real life.

Oh, i can hear it!

But it's a bit low in what volume concerns.

^ now, now. still the multitude of voices in your head for a moment. there. is that better? p.s. thank you for that rambling and disjointed guestbook message. to answer your question, my showering habits are quite erratic. it's a banjoist thing.

That house hasn't gotten this much attention in years. Impromptu concerts - perfect.

^ i know!! i'm so delighted! one of my friends from england asked if this is jim's house--i'm giddy when i think of friends from other countries recognizing it now!

yes girl, from what i know, iduv is just exactly the same as 669. Same iso80 blue tints :) I have invested in that as well, rather than more expensive 669! rock on! xx

^ i'm glad then, that it will fit in with my rock and roll, heavy drinking, fast- living, drug-addled lifestyle. rock on!

I'll take you up on the mets cap offer.
i'm almost out of tp.

seriously, if you're keen for some fine tunes give The Red Stick Ramblers a listen. For whiskey - I'd go with whatever is handy.

^ you do have a true yankees spirit, don't you! have you heard Guy Davis? he's an amazing clawhammer banjo player and singer. thanks for the tip--i'll look for the red stick ramblers--are they a local band? as for the whiskey - that is my policy as well.

Those guys rock!!!!!!!!!!
ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^ they did rock. i'm sorry that you haven't heard the news about the break up. i imagine you sniffling now, drinking whiskey in a darkened room and listening to an old mix tape of the foggy river boys.

669 addict :)
i love them!

^ hee hee--so true--669 makes me poor and paranoid and hungry! but--i just invested in some id-uv film. i know you love the colors of this film--is it like working with the 669? for example, will it give that blue tone on cloudy days, if the camera is set all the way to lighten? (thank you!)

A lovely legato of imagery.
Quite nice layering of the musicians.

Did you use a time machine for this one?

My eyes are begging for a more intimate view.

^ anybody who uses the word legato in a sentence in this comment box wins a free mets baseball cap! i didn't use a time machine for this one...strangely, this really is part of my life. i obsess over this house, and i love string band music and whiskey. sorry, cha-cha. in the originals, you can see the numbers on the house clearly. the house has its numbers, still affixed to the post on the porch, but the door is leaning up against the porch steps. who couldn't love a house like that?

WAW what a great film and scene.

is it 669?

great work once more...

^ oh! thank you, friend! yes, it is 669, but the sun had gone down and only a few minutes of light remained; also, i put the camera's setting all the way to " lighten" 669 is such an amazing film...

i like the photo on your left. emotional stuff. i'm glad they're sitting next to each other - it's a good fit.

^ i am so glad you noticed that! immediately, i thought of many new uses for brown paper bags!!

hahaha.
sometime mysteries are better than the truth.
really nice looking place.
and I really like the tones of the film here.

^ very true! it was getting dark, the light was very weak, and we had to do this in about 20 minutes. lindy and jim were such divas, too; we had to make sure that we had their favorite brand of canadian sipping whiskey and plenty of bags of Skittles on the set before they would even get out of their cars.

woow.

oooh. and that looks abandoned too.

^ it is sooo abandoned! very desolate, yet, it is also bordered by a busy interstate overpass... i haven't had the heart to go inside, but it's so strange and sad--i don't think the house has had a door for ages, and i could see that some rooms were still carpeted....

^ oops. that didn't work...maybe jim's house should stay a mystery...

I was there! In 1992. I was eight. I had just run away from home. I saw you people. You gave me a paper bag to wrap around my Yoo-hoo bottle.

I enjoyed the concert. Then a police car came by, broke up the performance, arrested the musicians, pissed on the instruments, and packed me up in a taxi back to New York City.

It was a great day.

And this makes me doubly want to put a string quartet in that weedy lot. In the best of all possible worlds I'd convince the entire New York Philharmonic to come along with me.

^ damn pigs ruined everything. couldn't get lindy and jim back together in the same room after that. jim sank into a depression and alcohol-fueled haze, and lindy sold out and started a quasi-religious bracelet weaving business...she's a millionaire now; owns her own island named "better than st. bart's". i hope you do recreate some of that 1992 magic!

I love the rawness of this, and I love brown paper bags! I can almost hear the sweet sweet music..

^ brown paper bags wrapped tightly around the neck of whiskey bottles are the best! (thank you--it was a very serious and emotional day.)

Fog off.

Funny.

Is the the house of Jim?

^ yes--and i'm so happy that a cornwallish person knows about jim's house! not funny, really. serious business. one day reunion after much fighting over music and record deals and management and such.
