Re: The Non-Crumple Music Thread
Just listened to a truly sparkling BBC Proms broadcast of Handel's oratorio Israel in Egypt from The Orchestra Of The Age Of Enlightenment. Great stuff. Available to those with iPlayer capabilities for the next 30 days.

I should post some of my favourite gypsy/eastern-orthodox/folk-ska. Love the stuff.

Re: The Non-Crumple Music Thread
Having a conversation with Kottke is a lot like experiencing him in concert. You don’t know what’s coming next — and neither does he. It could be something about his music, a person he met in his travels or an odd factoid gleaned from books he has read. Oftentimes he’ll manage to tickle your funny bone with a wicked one-liner.
Kottke, 70, doesn’t like to be predictable. He likes performing without a net.
“If I ever eliminate the risk of falling flat on my face, I’ll lose all,” he said. “So I kind of have to befriend terror.”
Thus, he never prepares a set list for a concert. He does try to choose an opening song about a half-hour before showtime but often changes it as he walks to the stage. After the opening number, he wings it, which is pretty much how he approaches life.
“I don’t have a routine. It’s something I’d like to [have]. I’m told the human body prefers predictability. One of my big routines to keep my mind intact is to try to remember what I had for breakfast,” he said over lunch recently in downtown Minneapolis.

“I wasn’t allowed to read as a kid,” he recalled. “If my folks caught me reading, they had a code word: ‘Go outside and get some fresh air.’ They’d make me close the book and leave the house. That’s how I read ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ I’d sneak the book out of the house and sit in some vacant lot in Cheyenne [Wyoming] where the weeds were taller than I was and read.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Kottke on encores: you just leave your best shit out of the set. He does not want to do that.

Re: The Non-Crumple Music Thread
Leo Kottke wrote a song under 2 minutes that he performs quite often. The studio version had a drummer, probably Bill Berg.
here is the result...can't have been easy. maybe he did it as an overdub?
Without drummer. The man is a machine.
