Dedicated to the memory of
Christopher "Chris" Cohn, a wonderful
musician and musical scholar:
gone too soon.
Another 'found' timbral & rhythmic
accident discovered, washing dishes, in my kitchen. I attempt to play it
later with a simple 'Tresillo' rhythm
(3+3+2 or Taki-Taki-Taki) but it was very sensitive and hard to control.
The Denizens of the Rush Inn have pool money and are completely renovating the pool table at the bar.
Come join us next Friday night, April 26 to celebrate PURPLE POOL PARTY with us
