i worship ideas, not technique.

two word, doods.
black sabbath.
may we all release discs as solid as their first four lp's.

i always feel like crescent is a much more somber disc than the usual output from the great quartet. i don't feel the joy and abandon from coltrane on this as much as i do on his other work. great...

btw. RIP alice coltrane.

regarding steve & his pottymouth, i saw the merlefest show. after standing around in the rain for about 5 hours (we had to endure hootie & the blowfish earlier in the rainstorm), steve walks out...

hey grant,
i think you stopped to think & forgot to start again.
my 02c---- comments like "punk junk" & "rap ####" show a closed mind. the kind of musicians i respect have an open mind & respect...

when i play guitar, i usually only play alt tunings, inspired by son house, robt johnson, keith richards & sonic youth. guitar standard guitar tuning was created by someone who wanted to punish...
